Hello there, it’s time for another Fusion Challenge and do we have a great sketch and inspirational photo for you!

I flipped the sketch vertically and then use the grass in the photo to inspire my CAS card. I used a very old Stampin Up stamp called ‘Inspired by Nature’ inked up in Altenew olive ink. The sentiment is from Uniquely Creative.

Come join in the fun and make a card based on the sketch, inspiration photo or fuse them together and play with both! Check out the projects that the other artists at Fusion have created, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us.  You have until Wednesday, 4th August at 7pm Melbourne Time or Tuesday 3rd August 12pm US Pacific Time to link up your project.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Today is a cold and wintery day here in Melbourne, which encouraged me to make Christmas cards. I played along with four different challenges for my four cards.

First up is a card for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #214 – C is for Christmas.

For my card I used two stamps sets – ‘Bright & Breezy’ from Stamps by Chloe and ‘N-7874’ from The Cat’s Pajamas. I stamped and coloured the underwear with my Stampin Blends then cut them out and added to a simple card base with my sentiment.

Next up is a card for Less is More #469 – Traditional Chrismas.

I made an OLC using the beautiful tree from the Altenew ‘ Sketched Evergreen’ inked up with three different greens.

My third card is for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown #27 – Christmas Floral.

I used a Stampin Up die set ‘Poinsettia Petals’ with a sentiment from ‘Leaves of Holly’.

My last card is for the ABC Christmas Challenge – N is for New or O is for Old.

I used a new stamp set from Stampin Up called ‘Mistletoe Magic’. I embossed a background panel with a Merry Christmas script, then stamped, coloured and die cut three mistletoe images and popped them over the sentiment strip.

Well, that’s it for today. Thanks for stopping by for a look. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Hello there, it’s time for another Fusion Challenge and do we have a great sketch and inspirational photo for you!

For this challenge, I opted to follow the sketch but did use the flowers on the hat as a bit of inspiration too. I stamped, coloured and fussy cut out the flower from Altenew ‘Paint-a-flower: Rose’; popped it up over some dotty DSP and a sentiment from Uniquely Creative.

Come join in the fun and make a card based on the sketch, inspiration photo or fuse them together and play with both!

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

I love this sketch as it plays to my CAS crafting heart. I used a new DSP from Stampin Up called ‘Santa Express’ for my banner, added a mistletoe sprig from the Stampin Up ‘Mistletoe Magic’ and a sentiment from Uniquely Creative.

Well hello and welcome to today’s post. It’s time for another challenge over at Get Creative Challenges where its Anything Goes with an optional twist to add red, white and blue to your card.

When I think of red, white and blue, I think of flags and sailing so I reached for my Stampin Up ‘Let’s Set Sail’ stamp set and matching punch for my card. I embossed the background panel to look like waves, added some SU DSP from ‘Waves of the Ocean’ then added my stamped and punched out boat with some dimensionals and twine.

Check out the Get Creative Challenge blog for details on the sponsor prizes and links to the other fabulous projects from the DT and come join in our fun and share your anything goes project by 1pm Monday 1st August (Melbourne time) or 11pm Sunday 31st July (US Eastern Standard time)
