New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

We have a new challenge for you at Time Out and it's a nice an easy "anything birthday goes"! We are celebrating our 9th birthday! We have lots of inspiration in the post too, along with the DT projects we have Special Guest Sandie joining us and also Hannelie as our guest designer. Newton's Nook sponsors the challenge with a whopping $25 voucher to our winner! 

In my card I've white heat embossed and water colored Newton's Nook peonies for focal poinst. The heat embossed background is made with a Simon Says Stamp background stamp. Sentiment by Waffle Flower. This card was pretty quick to make, water coloring is so much faster than Copic coloring lol! 

I look forward seeing your cards in the gallery.

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

I'm here sharing my DT card for Inkspirational where we for the next fortnight want you to use stencils! There's an optional twist of adding splatter but without splatter is just fine too! 

I'm using a NBUS Studio Light Stencil that creates amazingly realistic pinecones! Seriously I'm blown away by the results! I love the 3d look of this layering stencil and by the way it was very affordable too. The background stars are made with another stencil by Create a Smile and I did add splatter of white gold shimmery water color! Stamped sentiment by Hero Arts, mini slimline dies by Crealies. I quite like how this turned out + it's my first Christmas card for 2023, woot woot! 

I look forward seeing your creations in our gallery. Please head on over to our challenge blog for lots of more DT inspiration and all the challenge details.

Card for Challenges

 Hi friends!

I'm here with a quick post to share a card I made some challenges in mind. I was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches  and the new challenge at  The Flower Challenge is to use your latest stash. This is my first time using the amazing Spellbinder dies I eyed for months before buying them before Christmas... And now it's the first time they saw some card stock! Therefore sharing also at NBUS Challenge #47. The blue color palette is inspired by Simon Says Stamp Instagram Challenge. Also sharing at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge with the love theme. Allsorts challenge is an AG challenge with an "I love..."-option. This is an "I love you"-type of card! :) 

The sentiment stamp is by SSS and the plaid paper is by Lawn Fawn. Hope you like and thank you for popping by! 

New Challenge at Time out!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for Time Out Challenges where we for the next fortnight have a very special photo challenge for you -we are CASEing a card by superstar Gina K! She is also a sponsor of our challenge. All challenge details and lots of more DT inspiration HERE. 

I made my card with the rainbow color scheme and white flowers theme from her card in my mind. I cut strips of card stock for the background and heat embossed a white Gina K/ Hero Arts collaboration image on top. I added a store bought Finnish sentiment and basically that was it! :) Super quick card. I originally had a very artsy sponged and water colored card in mind but unfortunately time was an issue lol! I'm quite happy with this quick make!

Now it's your turn to take Time Out and craft. I look forward seeing your projects in the gallery! 

 

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

I'm here sharing my DT card for Inkspirational where we for the next fortnight are inspired by this amazing moodboard:

You could use al photos or just one photo/ some photos as your starting point. In our challenge blog HERE you'll find lots of more DT inspiration and all the challenge details!

I went with the color palette of brown, cream and reds and chose hearts as my motives. The big die cut hears are made with a Simon Says stamp die, sentiments also by SSS. Small dies are Winnie and Walter and the slimline die is by Marianne Design. I apologize for the awful colors of this photo, I assure you it's a cute card IRL... Lighting situation of winter Finland where not working for my advance in this one!!

Thank you for popping by and I hope to see you joining us!

I'll play along at

New Challenge at Inkspirational -I'm back! :)

Hi friends! 

I have fun news for you -I've rejoined the Inkspirational design team after a couple of years break! I look forward creating Inkspirational cards with Carol, Pia, Marlene and Julia. The first challenge of 2023 is New/Welcome. Do join us! All the challenge details and plenty of DT inspiration HERE.

In my card I've played with several products and made a little scene. Believe it or not (it's not maybe super obvious!) this is a "celebrate new home" card for a friend who looked for just the right house for a long long time! Hence the sentiment! :) Also the mushroom stamp (representing the new house!), by Jane's Doodles is new to me... So there's plenty of newness here! :) I've colored in the MFT elf and the mushroom with Copics. Background stencil and sentiment by Funky Fossil Designs. Hope you like and thank you for popping by! I look forward seeing what you'll create for us! 

 

New Challenge at Time Out!

Happy New Year 2023!

We are beginning the year 2023 at Time Out with a fun, cute challenge -we challenge you to be Romantic. This is the first challenge where we have all of our new DT members joining us -head on over to the challenge blog for lots of DT inspiration and all the challenge details. 

In my card I've created a cutesy romantic scene with stamps by our sponsor Jane's Doodle's. Jane's Doodles is run by artist Jane Beljo and the store is located in Zagreb, Croatia. Their high quality stamps are made in UK and USA. Jane's Doodles ships worldwide with very reasonable shipping prices and also sells digital images. Make sure to check out Jane's Doodles if you are not yet familiar with the brand!

Sentiment stamp by Spellbinders, the maker of the die I've unfortunately forgotten and lost the original packaging. :) I've also used a little woodgrain stamp for the floor -by Prima if I remember right. Again no original packaging left, the stamp is years and years old! 

The scene is colored with Copics. I've added some white gel pen and paint splatters for additional interest. 

Thank you for popping by and I hope to see you joining us!
