 Hello! I am sharing my card that I created for the Inspired By Challenge this week!   The theme this week is Picnic!

Inspired By Challenge - The Greetery

 Hello! I am sharing a card I made for the Inspired By Challenge!  This week I was inspired by the sketch and used some of my new products from The Greetery!   

I loved the streamers and inflated sentiment stamp set.   It was so much fun to play with!  I stamped the streamers with the Celebrations Streamers stamp and stencil set.  Then I added some hot foiled details with the Ticker Tape hot foil plate.   

I die cut some streamers and added some foam tape to pop them up off the panel using the Curly Q Streamers die.   The sentiment is from the Inflated Sentiments stamp set and die cut.  I used some of the die cuts from Award Winning die set. 

I hope you can play along with the challenge this week! 

Inspired By Challenge - Muffin Cups

Hello! I am sharing a card I created for the Inspired By Challenge and this week's theme is Muffin Cups!  I reached for The Greetery Hey Cupcake die that I used in last weeks card.  I love chocolate cupcakes created this birthday card with that in mind!   

When I was young,  I loved to make cupcakes and use the foiled muffin cups.  Something about them made them seem fancier than the pastel muffin cups.  This die makes for some yummy treats!  I created a plate, I used the Hoopla Round Inserts die.  

The background is one of my favorites and it is called Spring Meadow background stamp.  I then added texture with the Aida Cloth Texture Plate.   The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions and is called Simple Strips Birthday!  

I hope you get an opportunity to play along with this week's challenge! 

 

Inspired By Challege - Boxes

 Hey everyone!  I am sharing a card I created for the Inspired By Challenge this week. 

I used some stamps and dies from The Greetery:  Hey Cupcake and Sweet and Fancy Label stamp, die and hot foil set.  When I saw the inspiration picture, I knew I wanted to use these sets.  How yummy do these look!  I love all the details that you can add with the flowers, strawberry, cookie and cherry!

To create my cupcake box I used the Frosted Frames die and some patterned paper.  I doubled up the die cut and added with foam tape to create some dimension!  

I hope you get an opportunity to play along with the Inspired By Challenge! 

Inspired By Challenge - Rainbow Pops

 Hello!  I am sharing a card made for this week's Inspired by Challenge! I love rainbows and anything rainbow, the bright and cheery colors make me smile.   This week's inspiration photo and theme is Rainbow Pops.   I used the All Aglow stencil and Takes the Cake stamp set along with the Takes the Cake banner die.  

This is such a fun stencil set that is super easy to ink up with Distress Oxides inks and creates such a cute birthday card.   I have made several version of these!  I stamped the sentiment and used the banner die from the Takes the Cake set from The Greetery.

Inspired By Challenge - Mittens

 Hello!  I am sharing a card that I created for the Inspired By Challenge - IB271.   You can join this weekly challenge by using the weekly inspiration photo or sketch!  I looked through my stamping supplies because I knew I had an older mitten set that was perfect and I found it!  As I was going through my older stamp and dies, I realized that my craft room is a little like my closet.  I have some really comfortable items that are old and familiar and some that were a passing fad.  

I decided to pull out some other things that I had not used in quite a while....patterned paper, my sewing machine and off white cardstock!  I combined it with a newer product from The Greetery called Embroidered Blooms die.   The other products are older and likely not available anymore but they came in handy for this challenge!  

Mittens and sentiment are from MFT Cozy Mittens stamp and coordinating die

Background stamp is La-La Land Crafts Sweater Weather

Basic Grey paper pad - Persimmon

My small sewing machine that I use for papercrafts or cards only 

and finally, 

Embroidered Blooms Die from The Greetry

I hope that you find some time to play along with the Inspired By Challenge!   You can check out the challenge here!

Trick or Treat - The Greetery

Hello!  I am popping in to share my project this week for the Inspired by Challenge.  This week's inspiration was Tail Gate!  I love a fall tail gate party and created these carmel apple snack kits for a party!  

I still had some of my Greetery Harvest release on my craft desk and whipped up a few of these to share.   I love carmel apples and it's the perfect time to share!  I used the new carmel apple die with the Tear Strip Tags Halloween stamp set with the Tear Strip die to create the tags.  I added to a Stitched Scallops Notecard die.   I added instructions for how to prepare.

Oh Nuts! - The Greetery

 Hello!  I hope you are doing well today.   It's time again for another Inspired By Challenge!   This week's inspiration is Acorns - there is an inspiration photo and a sketch, you can use one or both!   I used some of my new The Greetery August release products that I just bought.  I used the Jumbo Curiosity: Acorns Die, Fall Foodie stamp set and the Herringbone Parquet die. 

I added a previously released die called Big Branches: Ruscus die.  I used two die cuts and then trimmed one and popped it up in various places to surround the acorns.   I love the pop of orange against the dark browns!  I splattered the leaves with some dark ink.  

To finish off the card, I added some gold pearls from Pink Fresh.  I hope that you get an opportunity to play along!  Check out the blog post here! 

I used Distress Oxide inks to add details to my die cuts in rich browns, oranges and greens.   To add details to the panel, I used some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink.  I embossed the sentiments with gold embossing powder onto some dark brown cardstock.     Thanks for stopping by!
