Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge -- Glittery Gourds -- Take Two

 I have another card to share that I made using the current

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge -- Glittery Gourds:

domainehome.com

This time, I chose to use my Simon Says Stamp Hey Pumpkin stamp set.
Sage got invited to a friend's birthday party, so I made this card for her.

I heat embossed my image in gold and then cut around it and trimmed the panel.

It's hard to tell, but I impressed my black cardstock in the background with PTI's Super Stripes IP.

I stamped the sentiment using SSS's Big Scripty Sentiments

and added a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins to finish it off.

Remember, there's still time to play along with this
 Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge.

Thanks for looking!

CAS(E) This Sketch #195

Today, I have a card to share that I made for

 CAS(E) This Sketch #19 designed by Chrissy Larson:

Here's my card:

I started by smooshing some PTI Tropical Teal, Hawaiian Shores and Green Parakeet ink,

mixed with water, onto my watercolour panel.

When this was dry, I added some Tropical Teal splatters.

Over these, I adhered some PTI Fancy Foliage Details diecuts.

I stamped my sentiment (from Spring Woods) in versafine onyx black ink.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see the rest of the DT's takes on the sketch 

and to play along, if you'd like.

You have until Thursday, October 27th to link up your card.

Happy Fall-idays: Thanksgiving

Hey there!

We are so excited to bring you Happy Falli-days this week,

filled with lots of inspiration from Reverse Confetti!

We have a theme for each day, so you'll want to check out 

the Reverse Confetti blog for details.

Our theme for today is Thanksgiving. 

We actually celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving a week and a half ago,

but I wanted to share an idea that my sister-in-law did for our meal.

She bought pears and tied a leaf shaped tag to each one.

At the end of our meal, she passed them all out.

On the front of the tag was a number, with a Bible verse that the recipient

read aloud and a sentence started like "I'm thankful for..."

Each person took turns reading their verses and finishing their sentences.

It was really cool!

I thought that the Reverse Confetti faith-based sets would be perfect for this project.

Aren't they pretty?

Just imagine a bowl full of these...

I started by diecutting the largest Swirlies Confetti Cuts from Stone Cardstock

and backing it with a piece of Cloud White Cardstock, on which I stamped a sentiment.

I added two stamped leaves using Blooms 'n Buds & Blooms 'n Buds Confetti Cuts,

which I stamped using Lime Green Ink & Tangerine Ink.

On this one, I used a sentiment from My Heart Trusts.

And here's the Bible verse I added to the back.

On this tag, I used God is Good.

And I added this verse to the back.

On for this tag, I used a sentiment from Walk By Faith, which I stamped twice --

once on the background and once on the swirled Confetti Cut.

 

And the verse on the back.

Happy Fall-idays: Halloween

Hey there!

We are so excited to bring you Happy Falli-days this week,

filled with lots of inspiration from Reverse Confetti!

We have a theme for each day, so you'll want to check out 

the Reverse Confetti blog for details.

Our theme for today is Halloween and 

I thought it would be fun to make up an adorable treat bag for the occasion.

I started by diecutting my Treat Tote Confetti Cuts from dark grey cardstock

and then from one of the panels, I cut an opening a little smaller than the 

Web Tag Layer Confetti Cuts, which I also diecut from the same cardstock.

I adhered this over the window I created, so that we could see through the

web into the bag.

For fun, I diecut another piece of the Treat Tote Confetti Cuts from Tangerine Cardstock

so that the bag has a pop of colour for the background on the inside.

I created the spider by diecutting two pieces of one of the flower centres

from Blooms 'n Buds Confetti Cuts and added legs diecut using 

Diagonal Stripe Pretty Panels Confetti Cuts.

For finishing touches, I added some Pretty Pink Posh googly-eyes and a tag, 

which I diecut the end using one of the Hang Ups Confetti Cuts and stamped the 

sentiment from Treat Yo' Self.

Guest Blogger

Hi, this is Sage.

My mom asked me to be guest blogger for her today

to share my card that I made at my birthday party.

We had a Paris theme and did some watercoloring with my friends.

I started by using black watercolour and painted the bottom section, 

then I added the yellow sun just on top of the black/grey bottom. 

I took a darker pink and painted the top, making the section small. 

Then I took a lighter pink and made a bit bigger section. 

The last colour I painted is skin colour which blended in with the light pink 

making another colour as the water mixed them. After it dried I stamped the city scenes Eiffel Tower off to the side and the next to it.

After it dried, I stamped the Eiffel Tower from Papertrey Ink's City Scene in Delicata Silver

 off to the side and the sentiment (from Papertrey Ink's Fresh Flower Wraps) next to it.

Well, that's it for me.

See ya next time!

Create Along With Us: October 2016

It's my beautiful sister-in-law's birthday today

and I thought I'd share the card that I sent her.

I was inspired by Betsy's lovely card that she shared earlier this week:

So, I made my card for this month's Create Along with Us at Papertrey Ink.

I used the same Colour Pop Autumn set that Betsy used.... stencilling and then 

stamping my leaves and berries onto my card front.

I diecut the "happy" using my Wet Paint Cuts twice from white cardstock,

which I stacked together.

I stamped the sentiment (also from Wet Paint) onto a strip of navy cardstock,

which I heat embossed in white.

A trio of buttons and twine finishes it off.

We've had a pretty busy weekend so far...

I chaperoned at Sage's first school dance on Friday evening

and spent the day in Winnipeg refereeing at a taekwondo tournament.

Today, we have our Thanksgiving meal with our church and tonight,

I get to watch Austin perform with the Central Manitoba Youth Choir -- I can't wait!

Enjoy your Sunday!

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge -- Glittery Gourds & Inspired By All the Little Things #28

Today, I have two cards to share...



First of all,
it's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

domainehome.com

The LEAD of the Glittery Gourds Challenge will be invited as a 

Guest Designer in a future challenge!
Please visit the Curtain Call Challenge Blog for all the challenge info and deadline.

White I was tempted to use some pumpkin stamps to make my card,
I decided to use the new Happy Harvest stamp set & coordinating Confetti Cuts
from Reverse Confetti.

I started by running my largest Lacy Scallop Frame Confetti Cuts through

my diecutting machine with my shim so I could pop out all of the scallops

and back my card with some gold foil.

I diecut my Happy Harvest Confetti Cuts from kraft cardstock and stamped them in 

versamark and heat embossed them in white and gold.

I diecut the Wheat Confetti Cuts from Cloud White Cardstock 
and pressed them into my versamark pad before heat embossing them in gold.

I also have a card to share for 

Inspired By All the Little Things #28:

I love these colourful pumpkins, but again decided to create a card

using something other than pumpkins instead.

This time, I reached for my Simon Says Stamp/Reverse Confetti

Stamptember stamp set: Forest Friends.

I started by stamping the sweet fox and then falling leaves on watercolour paper

in versafine onyx black in and heat embossing them in clear.

Then, using a lot of masking, I stamped the pile of leaves using the two 

leaf stamps from the set.

I coloured these in using my Zig Clean Colour Brush Markers and a water brush.

I stamped the sentiment using a stamp from Forever Fall.

You have until Thursday, October 20th to link up your card.
