Time Out Challenge #308 - Time Out's 12th Birthday!!

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share my DT post for Time Out current challenge #308 and we are celebrating Time Out's 12th Birthday 🎉🎉Yay!! This is a CASE challenge where we are CASEing Stef Perry of Perry Papercrafts. Hop over to Time out challenge blog for more details.

This is how I CASEed Stef with my twist. Again, I've used my 'never used before' stamp and die set from Altenew called Floral Acanthus . Over to my card..

Our generous Sponsor is Waffle Flower Crafts. 

Prize: $25 Store Credit

To make this card, I took A2 size textured White card panel and created the background using Altenew 12 pan Watercolor set. I added some oil pastels too to add some interest. Once satisfied, I adhered this panel to the Cream colored card stock.

Meanwhile, I heat embossed the flowers using Gold embossing powder, colored it with Altenew water colors and die cut it out using matching dies. I arranged these flowers  and adhered it to the card panel using foam tape. 

Then, I splattered this card panel with Gold acrylic paint to create some drama. After that, I added the die cut sentiment using same die set. 

Finally, I added some gold sequins to complete this card. Here is another click with flashed light to show you all the gold 😊.

I hope you get inspired and will join this challenge#308 at Time Out. This challenge is sponsored by Waffle Flower Crafts.  and  the Challenge winner will receive a $25.00 gift voucher to spend on their shop.

Time Out Challenge #300 - Theme Challenge

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share  my DT post for Time Out current challenge #300. It's theme challenge where the theme is  "Autumn celebrations". And I got inspired by the colors of autumn — the warm yellows, oranges, and greens. I used layering and stenciling to show how leaves change shades this season. I wanted to capture the cozy, happy feeling of autumn and send a little hug through this card.

This is what I have created using Altenew layering stencils - Floral Acanthus ( part of craft your life project kit)... This is the first time I've used this stencil...😁(bought it long back).. Over to my card...

Our generous Sponsor is Doodle Bugs

Prize: Coupon code of $25 Store credit

To make this card, I took A2 size White cardstock and stenciled it using Altenew layering stencils - Floral Acanthus. I've used different shades of Green, Yellow and Orange inks from my stash.

 

Once done with the stenciling, I die cut out the sentiment using same kit on Black & White card stock and adhered it to the card panel using foam tape to add some dimension. Then I stamped rest of the sentiment.

It was looking very empty to me, so to create some drama, I added some Black lines with loose hands along the edges of the card. Finally, I added some clear droplet embellishments to complete this card... I really like how this card turned out.

I hope you get inspired and will join this challenge#300 at Time Out. This challenge is sponsored by Doodle Bugs and the Challenge winners will receive a $25.00 gift voucher to spend on their shop.

I can't wait to see how you get inspired.

Time Out Challenge #289 - Inspired by your favorite winged thing

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share my DT post for Time Out current challenge #289 where we have to get inspired by "your favorite winged thing". And my favorite winged thing is beautiful, colourful Butterfly.. By the way you can find all my Butterfly cards here :).

Here is my card using Crealies beautiful butterfly cutting dies... 

Our generous Sponsor is Lawn Fawn

Prize: Coupon code of $25 Store credit

I started with A2 size Cream coloured Card base. Then, I took White card panel which I dry embossed using Altenew - Floral Acanthus 3D embossing folder. I adhered this embossed panel to the card base.

Meanwhile, I took A4 size card stock which I always use as a base while doing distress inking (so, it's always messy with lots of distress ink colors) and die cut it using Crealies Butterfly cutting dies and adhered it to the embossed card panel.

Finally, I added stamped sentiment from Winnie & Walter birthday stamp set, fussy cut it and adhered it to the card panel along with some gold sequins to complete this card.

Time Out Challenge #288 - Theme Challenge

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share  my DT post for Time Out current challenge #288. It's theme challenge and we are celebrating Star Wars - May the 4th be with you.

You can think off movie series, celestial, galaxy, sky, northern lights, etc. for this challenge. This is what I've created...

Our generous Sponsor is Topflight Stamps

Prize: $25 Store Credit

To create this card, I started with a cream-colored card base and layered it with a galaxy-patterned background. I’ve been holding onto this cardstock for almost three years—it was originally part of the gift wrapping for my daughter’s 10th birthday. I’m so glad I finally put it to use! 😊

After adhering the patterned paper, I die cut out the sentiment on Golden glittered cardstock using Altenew ( Happy sentiment) and Winnie & Walter (Birthday Sentiment) die set. I die cut out the 13 number using Aveccreative number dies. I adhered these sentiments on the card panel using glue as well as Foam tape to give some dimension.

I made this card for my daughter's friend's 13th Birthday. I really like how this card turned out.

I hope you get inspired and will join this challenge#288 at Time Out. This challenge is sponsored by Topflight Stamps and  the Challenge winner will receive a $25.00 gift voucher to spend on their shop.

Altenew - Love you more than Coffee!!

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share this unique Coffee card featuring non-traditional colors. The inspiration for this card struck me when I stumbled upon the vibrant hues of Altenew's Current Inspiration challenge. Believe it or not, I've been hoarding on to this Altenew  "Coffee Love'' stamps set for almost 5-6 years, rarely used it except few sentiments. Last week, I did my Craft room cleaning and sorted all the stamp sets which I have never used  and this is one of them. Now, I already know what would be my next year resolution... YES.. it would be to use my never used Craft supplies at least once 😁. I think it's a good goal to start the new year.. 😃..

Enough of my blah blah...Over to my card..

Colors of this card is inspired by  Altenew's current November challenge 

And I am also playing along with 2023 Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

To make this card, I took A2 size White card panel and began stamping various images from the Altenew "Coffee Love'' set on its reverse side, using the same colors of Altenew's current inspiration challenge.  Following this, I stamped the images using the Black ink. Yes, the stamped images were not symmetrical with the colored background. And that's what I really like 😊, this non-uniformity created a dramatic flair that really enhances the overall design.

Initially, I stamped the sentiment at the centre of the card, but it seemed a bit too plain for my liking. That's why I decided to add the die cut out circle with stamped sentiment and adhered it to the centre of the card stock using foam tape to give some dimension and also to add element of interest.

To finish off, I adorned the card with raindrop embellishments. I really like how this card turned out. I hope you like it too..

Thank you for taking the time to visit.

Hugsxx
