Time Out Challenge #312 - Photo Inspiration

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share  my DT post for Time Out current challenge #312. It's a photo inspiration challenge where we have to get inspired by the photo (which was clicked by me during our Albania trip🙂).

This is what I've created, inspired by beautiful sunset colors in the photo. 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 water colored panel which I die cut out using Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies - CUTplorations . I watercolor the background and leave it for air dry.

 

Once the panel was dried, I stenciled it with Black ink using Crafter's Companion - Decorative stencil designed by Sheena Douglass called Eiffel Tower. I bought it long back in a Craft fair when we were staying in UK, just after coming back from our Europe trip in 2016. Yes, finally after almost 10 years I opened the seal of this stencil. So proud of myself😝. I'm going strong with my new year resolution to use my "never before used craft stash" 😍.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment from one of the MFT stamp set, doodled some birds and adhered this panel to the Grey colored note card. I really love how this one layer stenciled card turned out.

I hope you get inspired and will join this challenge#312 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.

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share  my DT post for Time Out current challenge #305. It's theme challenge where we have to use our favouriet card making technique...

I love stencilling and this is what I've created... :)

To create this card, I took A2 size White card base and stencilled it with Distress Inks using Brutus Monroe speech bubble stencil which I bought it a year back but never used it. 

On a side note  -  This year's resolution is to use the Crafty stuff which I have never ever used 😁.. I am serious this year 😅 This time I already took the first step... I've made a separate box of all the craft supplies which I've never used... Finger crossed 😉.

Once done with the stencilling, I added the hand cut out speech bubble  and adhered it to the card panel using foam tape to give it some dimension. Then, I added the die cut out "Happy Birthday" sentiment.

Finally, I added some tiny White heart embellishments to complete this Birthday card.

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share my DT post for Time Out current challenge #303, which also happens to be the last challenge of 2025. Wow… time really does fly!

To make this card, I took White card base and generously applied this chalky purple colored ink pad directly on the card panel. Once it dried, I made it ready for heat embossing by applying some talcum powder. After that, I stenciled this panel using a a beautiful stencil from Craft sensations using Versamark ink and heat embossed it using "Pearl Gold Sparkle" embossing powder from "WOW". Here is another click to show you all glitter 😁.

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 #277 - Inspired by words

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share  my DT post for Time Out current challenge #277 where we draw inspiration from words. This time, the words "There is truly not an occasion that is not improved by wearing something festive" immediately made me think of how special anniversaries are—and how they deserve a little extra sparkle. That thought inspired me to create this glittery anniversary card!

Over to my card..

Our generous Sponsor is Topflight Stamps

Prize: $25 Store Credit

To make this card, I started with a white card base and stenciled it using glitter paste. To add vibrant colors, I mixed dry pigment powders into silver glitter paste, creating a stunning blue and green palette full of shimmer.

Once the stenciled panel dried, I adhered it to a blue card base for an extra pop of color. Meanwhile, I die-cut the sentiment using STAMPlorations dies and added a vellum die-cut heart behind it to make the sentiment stand out. I absolutely love how festive and joyful this card turned out!

For me, this card is a reminder that a little sparkle can make anything feel more special—just like dressing up for a big day. It was so much fun to create, and I hope it brings as much joy to the recipient as it did to me while making it.
