Creating Outside Comfort Zone

The challenge at Sweet Stampin' was "Pretty in Pink".  I channeled pink using supplies on my desk. 

Preface this by saying this is not my norm.  But I wanted to play with putting a background stamp to cardstock, adding some shimmering embossing powder, and then using some punches in my stash that I'd not used in YEARS.

No joke, years.  

 

Not sure I love the card . . . love that background stamp.   And I do love some tone on tone. 

The curve on that front panel is interesting.

I hope you find some time to create outside of your comfort zone.

K is for Kraft

One of my favorite places for inspiration is StampNation, and I was inspired to create this card by the prompt, K is for Kraft. 

I created this card using a fairly new stamp set from Club Sursee. 

 

I love the muted tones on this card.   

I hope you find some time to create today.

Circles for Always Fun

The inspiration prompt at Always Fun Challenges this week was Circles.  I created a card using some circle paper and circle dies. 

 I used supplies from an old kit that I had hanging out in my craft room.  The pattern paper outlining the sentiment "amazing" has pattern paper in the same font as the die.   I tried to find the best cut so that the word would show. 

I hope you find some time to create today.

Anything But a Card

Anything but a card was the prompt at Always Fun Challenges.  So I made a little gift box with a tag. 

No stamping required . . . just creation of a box from scratch.  I notched the bottom with a circle punch, and embellished with some ribbon. 
 

I hope you find some time to create today!
