Hi There,

Ready for a new challenge at Time Out Challenges?

I hope so as it is our photo challenge and you know I always love these.

Here is my card:

Our sponsor for this challenge is Altenew.



 All the stamps and dies are from Altenew-Floral Frame and I also used the Floral Frame Die set was used to cut these stamps out.

I stamped and heat embossed the flower and leaves onto some water colour card. I had previously made it and found it in my stash but thought it was perfect for this challenge.

The die frame is from STAMPlorations

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is a previous DT member at Time Out, Sarah and we are so happy she is joining us today. Her blog Funky Fossil Designs is a delight to visit. I urge you to pop on over there and I guarantee you will be inspired!

Our Design Team have all made amazing cards inspired by this photo-check them out here and then get inky!

Hi There,

My card today was inspired by a few challenges.

It really doesn't feel like Spring here in London but I hope this card makes it feel like Spring for you!

Hi All

We have our Designer's challenge today. This time it is the amazingly talented and creative Carol's choice and she went with:

Mythical

I have no fairy, unicorn etc stamps so had to turn to my trusty thesaurus for a helping hand! And in there I found 'mythical' described as 'Imagination'. I knew I had a sentiment stamp that fitted this (a pressie from my dear friend and teamie Nonni). So went with this:

Happy Monday!

Still stuck at home not feeling so good so what better way to spend my time than to have a little crafty play.

Those that follow me know I love to make one layer cards but also know I don't so stencils or sponging! But today I have had had a play at trying both of these! I got a few stencils as a  lovely pressie from crafty buddy Sarah. She sells here-check them out, they are fab!

Here is what I made using her fun 'lip' stencils.

I am here with our monthly Calling All Sistahs Encouragement challenge from CAS-ual Fridays. Our little bunch of Sistahs are all about raising awareness for Breast Cancer and would love you to join our monthly challenge.

 What do we mean by an 'Encouragement' card? Well anything that would brighten someone's day. I am sure you have plenty of ideas of how to do this and make cards like this every time you sit down you craft. So why not share them with us?

We have a photo and some colours to inspire you. Use either the photo or the colours-you don't need to use both but can if you want.

Here is my card:

Here is how you play along:

Hi All

Popping in with a quick card to say 'hello'

Hi There

I wouldn't normally post twice in a day but I am at home after catching my Husband's bug! He has been coughing and sneezing for a week now. I was feeling pretty pleased with myself for not catching it but you guessed it...I have!

My card today was inspired by the 'Bug' challenge at CASology.

I had this idea in my head since I saw the challenge and today I saw the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and off I went creating this:

Most of these stamps are from Paper Smooches. I stamped the tissue box and tissue on previously water coloured card. Fussy cut them out. I used my Visible Image snowflake stamp to represent my 'sneeze'!! The tissue box and tissue are both popped up on foam pads for dimension.

I deliberately used bright and cheerful colours as that is what I think we need when feeling a bit under the weather!!

Hope your day is going well x

Some of the team have been with us now for 4 years and we have added to the team with some more amazing designers who have been with us for at least 2 years now.

Hi All

Popping in with a card I made today for a few challenges.

Hello,

When I saw the 'Abstract' challenge at CASology, I knew I had to play along. I love abstract art and had a go at creating my own version, helped along by a few other challenges.

I used the following challenges to help me create this card and will enter them all

Freshly Made Sketches-gave me my design.

Less is More-Monochrome-gave me the idea of using just purples, even down to the base card.

AAA Cards-ombre-gave me the idea of using the changing purples.

I used 3 different purple shade inks from Catherine Pooler. I just roughly inked them onto this grunge stamp. Then I used a sizzix die to cut out this splatter. I then cut out the same splatter die in purple fun foam . Layered the ombre card splatter on top of the foam offsetting it so it looks like a shadow. A few different shades of purple enamel dots to finish this off and here you have my version of an 'abstract arty' card!

This was a really fun card to make and came out exactly as I had it in my head....that doesn't happen often!

Have a fun day x
