Inkspirational #156

Hi again! Time for a new challenge over at Inkspirational!

Our word prompt for this challenge is 'Work'.

I had to think hard about this one but decided to go with a simple one layer congratulations card. I thought this would be good for someone who had a new job, had received a promotion, or even perhaps retiring.

Supplies:

HLS Simply Said

HLS Bold Birthday Sentiments (retired)

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges -

Sparkles Monthly Challenge - Clean and Simple

The Sisterhood of Crafters - Clean and Simple

I hope to see you over at the challenge blog with your work inspired cards.

HLS September CAS Challenge

Hi everyone! Time for a new CAS challenge over at Happy Little Stampers. I had a lot of fun with this one and made FOUR cards!

Today is Father's Day here in Australia so Happy Father's Day to all those special men in our lives!

We would like you to use a Silhouette on your creations. You could use stamps, stencils, or dies!

Here are my cards -

Card #1 uses two stamp sets - Wish you were Here and Mixed Media Fun. I used my MISTI to stamp everything at once :)

Card #2 features the London Skyline from the Wish you were Here set. Again I used my MISTI to stamp. I added a strip of black glitter foam for interest.

Card #3 is a simple cat die cut. The sentiment is from the Especially for You set and a strip of glitter foam attached.

Card #4 is another simple die cut using the Moustache Set and then stamped sentiments from the Bold Birthday Sentiments (retired) and Everyday Sentiments. 

The beauty about clean and simple cards is that they are so quick to create! These four cards took me about 15 minutes all up!

Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! Check out all the details HERE.

See you over at Happy Little Stampers!

Creatalicious Guest Designer

Good morning everyone! I am so happy today to be part of the newest challenge at Creatalicious Challenges.

Today I am their sponsor and Guest Designer. How exciting!

The theme for this challenge is 

SNOWFLAKES

I don't have much in the way of snowflakes so I had to improvise. I used the little asterix from the HLS Bold Birthday Sentiments set - cool huh?

Here is my card -

I used a die to cut my Mixed Media paper in half. I embossed my 'snowflakes' all over the panel. Once dry, I smooshed into Turquoise Brusho ink that I had on my craft mat. 

I used the sentiment from the HLS Mixed Christmas Sentiments set and curved it on my acrylic block to try and follow the line of the die cut card. I embossed it in silver.

A very easy card to make!

Pop on over to Creatalicious and join in the fun as there is also a prize from Happy Little Stampers up for grabs :)

HLS October Sketch Challenge

What? Where did September go? Seriously, I cannot believe it is October.

Seeing it is the beginning of a new month there is a new sketch challenge for you to play with over at Happy Little Stampers.

If you play along you will have a chance to win this stamp set from Happy Little Stampers!

Here is my DT card

I always seem to stump myself even though I design the sketches lol. But, I never let that defeat me. 

To create this card, I die cut my 'grass', placed it on the card and drew an outline in pencil at the top of the slopes. I removed the die and had a guide to where I could put my houses.

I didn't have much in the way of stamps or dies so the next best thing was to draw some funky houses myself. I coloured them with my Wink of Stella pens. I had another photo that showed all the glitter but I seemed to have lost it :(

The sentiment is from the Happy Little Stampers Big Bold Birthday set.

We have a wonderful Guest Designer joining us for this challenge - Valentyna. She is an AMAZING card maker and we are honoured to have her with us.

I hope you will find the time to play along with us this month.
