Fall Campout

 


3 challenges inspired today's card...

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS604 ...A sketch challenge!!  A fun starting point for today's card.  I love the brushstrokes called for behind the focal point.  Perfect backdrop for my tent.

Time Out Challenge // #TOC247 ...A photo inspiration challenge!!  Fall camping,  gotta love a tent thrown in the woods!!  Love the crisp cool air, the falling leaves, and a warm camp fire.

Retro Rubber Challenge // #rrcb215 ...A theme challenge!!  "It's Fall"!!  A fall camping scene seemed perfect for this challenge.  For this challenge we are also asked to use stamps over a year old...my fall tree is from Stampin Up's Happy Scenes stamp set that came out in 2015.

Twofer One




 Set of cards inspired by several challenges...

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc438 ...A "what would you do" challenge!!  For this WWYD challenge the question is...What would you do with one card, two ways??  I used the same sketch, the same dies but changed the sentiment and made one of them CAS.  Since this die cuts both layers at a time it works get for a "twofer one" challenge.  The color layers are just flipped.


Less Is More // #LIM492 ...An alphabet challenge!!  C is for Celebrate!!  This challenge also wants to see how we can get MORE with LESS.  So I kept the "celebrate" card CAS...Clean And Simple // Less Is More!!
Inspire.Create.Challenge // #ICC151 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch worked perfectly for this "twofer one" challenge from TGIF.  I was able to use the same sketch for both cards and keep on of them clean and simple for the LIM challenge.
Addicted to CAS // #246 ...A code word challenge!!  MUSHROOM!!  That is the code word for their current challenge!!  Since the "celebrate" card was a CAS card and included a mushroom it is perfect for a second entry into this challenge.

New Challenge @ Cardz 4 Guyz #C4G331

 


Today begins a new challenge at...

Cardz 4 Guyz // #C4G331 ...A masculine challenge using the theme of STARS!!  Stampin Up's To the Moon stamp set has the perfect sentiment for this new challenge.  "Always reach for the Stars."  I knew I wanted this sentiment to be the building block for my card.  I used star dies and clustered up some stars in designer paper and plain card stock, and finished it off with a ribbon banner and some twine.

#C4G331 // Stars

The possibilities are endless with this STARS theme and we can't wait to see how this challenge inspires you.  Hop on over to our blog for all the details and additional inspiration from the rest of the design team.  Then join the fun and play along with us.

Today's card was also inspired by...

The 3 elements that I picked for me card: twine, bright color, and layers.  My second card also used 3 elements from this list...heat embossing, layers, and matching envelope.


Card #2 inspired by 4 challenges...

Just Us Girls // #JUG697 ...A mood board challenge!!  The fall leaves and the coffee were my inspiration from this mood board collection.  Thus my sentiment..."the leaves are falling, the coffee is calling".

Inspired By Challenges // #IB255 ...An inspiration challenge!!  My inspiration from the photo...orange & newsprint.  

TicTacToe Challenges // #tttc226 ...A game board challenge!!  My winning three in a row on this tic-tac-toe game board: foliage, gems, and matching envelope.

Retro Rubber Challenge // #rrcb215 ...A theme challenge!!  It's Fall!! That is right...in just a few days it will be fall.  Fall colors, leaves, and all things pumpkin spice.  This challenge also askes us to use stamps that are over a year old.  I have had this Tim Holtz stamp for over 5 years.

New Challenge @ Sunday Stamps #SSC318


 Today begins a new challenge at...

Sunday Stamps // #SSC318 ...A sketch challenge!!  Today we have a new sketch to inspire you!!  We hope you will join the fun and play along with us.  For my card I decided to keep it monochromatic and use Mossy Meadow card stock and designer papers.  This stitched leave die from Spellbinders was the perfect die for finishing off this fun sketch of banners.

Today's card was inspired by 3 other challenges...


Global Design Project // #GDP411
...A theme challenge!!  The theme for this challenge is outdoors!!  Fall is right around the corner and this banner sketch with stitched leaf die is perfect for setting an outdoorsy feel.


{PIN}spirational Challenges // #305 ...A Pinterest inspired challenge!!  This month the challenge is all about birthdays and leaves.  A perfect combination this time of year.  

Retro Rubber Challenge // #rrcb215 ...A theme challenge!!  FALL!!  Fall leaves!!  This challenge also calls for us to use a stamp that is over a year old.  I used the "happy birthday" sentiment from Stampin Up's Sprinkles of Life stamp set from over 10 years ago.
