Tape & Twine - TGIF Challenges - TGIFC183

Hello friends! Welcome to this week’s product spotlight challenge at TGIF Challenges. We are highlighting baker’s twine and washi tape. Twine is an absolute staple for most of my cards. I can’t live without white baker’s twine!!! Another staple is the b&w Pick Your Pattern Washi tape. I’ve used these washi tapes more than any other tape. Probably because these tapes looks great with just about any card design.

A couple of weeks ago I saw this Halloween mantle from Tater Tots & Jello’s instagram account. I was so inspired by this photo, I just could not get it out of my head. I needed to make a card. I used the Spooky Sweets stamp set, Buffalo Check stamp set and the Spooky Bats punch to create this card.

Recently I splurged and bought a mini button maker for some work related project. I love the look of flair and so I used it to create custom 31 button. I’d be happy to send you a button if you’d like. Drop me a line. The rest of the product on this card can be purchased from Stampin’ Up! A full list of supplies can be found below.

Do you have some tape and twine lying around? Are you ready to play along with us? Visit here for more details. #tgifc183

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Alternates for Friends of a Feather

Hi folks! It’s time to hop and see a bunch of alternate ideas using the October Paper Pumpkin kit.

When my October Paper Pumpkin kit arrived I was super excited. I usually am so excited to see the red box in my mail but this kit had me at FEATHER! I have such a love with feathers right now.

This kit is called Friends of a Feather and includes all the goodies to create 8 cards. Below you can see the 9 piece stamp set and the suggested cards. I did make a few cards following the instructions but I ended up cutting down the supplies to make napkin rings and name place cards for our Thanksgiving dinner next month! Plus I had a enough supplies to make a few card alternates. You can see those below.

Falling for Leaves - Global Design Project COLOR Challenge - GDP161

Around here Autumn is in FULL swing and the world is full of reds, oranges, yellows and greens. The timing for this Global Design Project color challenge could not be better! This week we are challenging you to use Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Old Olive in your crafting.

I made two cards for this challenge playing around with the Falling for Leaves bundle of products. I’ve also used the spotted background stamp from Artisan Textures stamp set to create these fun color backgrounds. Kind of looks like Brusho but it’s not.

How I got this look on the background:

1. Wet the watercolor paper with an aqua painter.

2. Stamp the spotted background image in Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry ink randomly onto the wet watercolor paper. The wetter the paper the more the ink will bleed. The dryer the paper the more the image crispness will be retained.

3. THAT’S IT! Super easy without the mess.

This second card uses the same background technique but I only stamped the image in Crushed Curry. The Frosted epoxy embellishments have been hand colored using a Pumpkin Pie Blends marker. I cut Whisper White card stock and Pumpkin Pie card stock using this three leaf die. I layered these together for a DUPLEX look.

More details about this challenge are on the Global Design Project blog. Check it out and play along! See ya soon, Charlet

Trick or Tweet ... for the Veterinarian

We recently found a new vet and I gave her this card I made a few weeks ago from the Trick or Tweet stamp set. I thought is was a cute and appropriate card to give to a veterinarian and would be appreciated. She like it so much she ordered 10 more cards for employee appreciation day. I cased my earlier card to come up with this version. Yippee! Another WIN for handmade cards.
