Hello and happy Saturday! Every single day, I look through what different things are going on with card challenges. I love them! I love to see the different ideas they put out there for our creativity to stretch. These 2 challenges caught my eye and inspired today’s design

Tic Tac Toe – I chose the 3rd column

Thanks, enamel dots, and leaves/foliage

The other challenge that inspired me was TGIF

I love leaves! So their layered leaves excited me and I loved the layout of the challenge graphic too

My leaves and foliage are from a die set called “Sprigs” by Scrapbook.com and the Thanks stamp is by them as well. I placed them all on a dry embossed panel that had a nice matte behind it, created with a Spellbinders border die.

Thank you for stopping by to check out my card!

What are your favorite challenges?

Hello and happy Sunday! When I saw the current challenge at Lawn Fawn, I knew I wanted to play along!

I haven’t made a monochromatic card in a long time!

These darling little snowmen are from the Lawn Fawn set “Ready Set Snow”

With some foliage and snowflakes and sparkles all around the background, I love how these little guys stand out as the main focal point of my card

It’s fun to just work with one color and see how cool a card can turn out! I’m glad Lawn Fawn reminded me of the monochrome idea.

Today starts a new challenge over at Double Trouble, and it’s my favorite kind – FLORAL!

Thing 1 wants to see you use florals. But before you jump into it – make sure you don’t reach for pattern paper!

I used dies by Spellbinders on my card. I love working with floral and foliage. On cards, and in real life! In fact, fun fact about me – I’ve done floral for many weddings and proms! I also love doing wreaths and home decor. But by far my favorite is floral on cards!

Thing 3 says to add an insect to your card. I chose a butterfly – so easy to go with floral

The technique I used for the floral was die cutting it and then water coloring each blossom

It turned out to be a pretty fancy birthday card! And I love it!

Thing 2 has us partnering with Crafters Cafe. So if you make a floral card, be sure to enter it there too!

Thanks for stopping by to see my card today!

Lots of fun Fall challenges going on! And I’m seeing so many pretty cards. I made this one to participate in 3 different challenges that inspired me!

First, I loved the Four Seasons mood board. I especially loved the wagon full of pumpkins!

I also took the challenge over at Paper Funday to focus on yellow, orange, and green

The final challenge that inspired my card is The Card Concept. Their theme is “Autumn Chill”

The colors of Autumn are so beautiful. They don’t last long! But I love the. While they last!

Hi stamping friends! How fun is it that we have a day dedicated to us and our fabulous hobby!! If you follow me, you know I absolutely LOVE card challenges. I love playing along with various ones. I love being on the design team for the Double Trouble Challenge and I’ll shop more with the companies who have challenges! They inspire us to use the products we buy and I really appreciate that.

So yesterday, when I saw that PinkFresh Studio did a challenge for World Cardmaking day – I was IN!!

I went through my stash of beautiful PinkFresh products and decided on this one that I haven’t used in forever. It’s called Inked Florals

I did some emboss resist. I embossed the floral images in white and then water colored over them

I also used some PinkFresh dies that went perfect with the design I had in mind. The Simply Diamonds background die as well as the Classic Tags with fillable elements. I LOVE this tag die set. It’s got so many versatile pieces!

Check out my Instagram for a Reel of how I did the flowers and the full card coming together if you’d like to see!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you got to stamp yesterday too!

Hello stamping friends! A challenge full of Halloween fun is up at Double Trouble today🎃

Thing 1 is having a “scrappers trick or treat” and wants to see what tricks you have for background techniques

I did one that I haven’t done in a while – ink smooshing. I also added water flicking, ink splatters, and some stamping. I was sure to include a couple of different images as that is what Thing 3 is looking for

I did make a video of me creating this card.. so if you’d like to see how to do this technique, be sure to check out my Instagram!

I have to admit something… I don’t really like Halloween! So I never purchase Halloween- specific products. The stamps I used today are from some REALLY old Stampin’ Up! sets that I still have in my stash. They worked great to make this project! And I really actually love the way it turned out

Thing 2 has us partnering with Park Hopping challenge. Would your card choose Disney cute? Or Universal scary? Mine would visit both. The spider is kind of cutesie (could never say that about a real spider!!) but the bats and Boo might be creepy!

Can’t wait to see your creations in the Double Trouble gallery

Hi everyone! Happy Double Trouble Monday!

Thing 1 wants to see punches and/or dies and Thing 3 wants to see farm animals!

I love this cute little set by Hello Bluebird and don’t pull it out very often. But it’s perfect for this challenge!

I used the coordinating dies for the images. The 3 squares stitched die, and the stitched border die are from My Favorite Things and were perfect for the clean and simple design I went for with this card

Thing 2 has us partnering with I Spy With My Little Eye for their “something on a farm” challenge. So if you play with that option, be sure to add your creation there too!

Thanks for stopping by to see my card today. Can’t wait to see what you make!

Hello! Today I pulled out one of my favorite sets to play with – Mandala Maker by Gina K Designs. Over at the Inspired By challenge, the inspo photo made me think of it instantly!

I knew exactly what I wanted to do

It’s obvious that I chose the colors and pattern based on those darling leggings!

I added lots of Nuvo drops to give texture to the entire thing. It was so neat to watch it come together

I recorded this one coming together. You can see it over on my Instagram page!

The stitched square dies are from Pink and Main and were the perfect size to fit this mandala. The sentiment is from the Gina K “Massive Messages” and I clear embossed it for dimension and shine

Thanks for stopping by to see this fun mandala design today

Hello! Happy new challenge day over at Double Trouble! It’s a great one to get your Fall cards going

Thing 1 wants to see Autumn colors. Pick at least 3 from the first photo in the graphic

I used an old set called “Autumn Harvest” by Stampin Up. It’s seriously probably 15 years old! But I love it and use it every Fall

I colored these cute Autumn images with my zig markers. Thing 3 is asking to see pumpkins and gourds. You pick which one you want to use or even do both like I did!

The arch and fence are dies by Spellbinders, and I thought they went perfect with my design

Thing 2 has us partnering up with Inspiration Station, using their cute inspiration photo

It does get me excited for Fall to see pictures like that and make cards in these colors!! It’s really hot here, and the cool down will be welcome. But for now, I’ll just make cards to ready for when it does

I made a video again! It’s been a while since I did that. So be sure to head to my Instagram to see this card come together.

Have a wonderful week!

🙂 Kellianne
