Parisienne Delights

 

Time Out Challenge #290 has just gone live and it's one of our new challenges for 2025 - a Pick 2 Challenge! 

The concept of a Pick 2 Challenge is self-explanatory - we give you 6 word prompts to choose from and you use at least 2 of them to inspire your creation!  To be clear, you can pick more than 2 if you like - all 6 if you really want to challenge yourself but just make sure to pick at least 2!

The Word Prompts for this challenge are

Recycle, Weather, Ribbon, Bold, Repeat and Place

We don't have a sponsor this challenge but I have a brand new die set (ordered twice oops) which I will send anywhere in the world to our Top Pick as chosen by the design team members!  Here's a photo of  this 23 pce die set from Sizzix - Garden Shed by Sophie Guilar!

And as usual, our Top Pick will also be invited to join Time Out as a guest designer in a future challenge!  Speaking of guest designers, our guest designer this fortnight is Jaydee our winner of Challenge #285!  Be sure to check out the Time Out Blog to see how how Jaydee and my talented team mates were inspired by these 6 words!

I do hope you enjoy our challenge and I do hope you can take Time Out and join us for some fun!  And please, if it isn't obvious let us know how these words inspired your creation!  And please remember we only allow a total of 5 challenges - ours plus 4 others!

This card is a very belated birthday card for my daughter-in-law!  My son took her to Paris to celebrate her first birthday as his wife so I knew I wanted a Parisienne theme!  I found this very old but still NBUS stamp set while looking for all things Parisienne in my stash (Just Rite Greetings from Paris)!  I don't know why I never used it before because it stamped beautifully and makes a very simple add-on element when paired with the matching Spellbinders Label 25 die!  So Paris became the PLACE!  And of course no trip to Paris would be complete without the Eiffel Tower - cut from brown card stock and Winked (though the sparkle is as always difficult to capture)!

The first thing I noticed on this stamp was Le Chocolat and as I got some new sweetie dies with the Gummiapan Easter Advent Calendar, I thought I'd add a few of those cut from this piece of RECYCLED (from an old Christmas cracker) gold card stock!  

 Then as I was assembling the card I smudged the background panel - uggh what could I use to hide that 🤔!

   

Inspired by the WEATHER prompt, I thought clouds may very well be obscuring the top of the Eiffel Tower!  At this point the design was decidedly unbalanced so I added some ferns (Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms) REPEATED of course, to the base of the card!

So 4 Word Prompts achieved on my card - PLACE, RECYCLE, REPEAT and WEATHER!  But as I said it's only necessary to Pick 2!

Merry Forest

 

Sparkles Christmas Challenge 172 has just gone live and Melanie has chosen Include the word Merry as our theme for the month of June!

I don't think I'll ever get to the bottom of my NBUS (mainly because I keep adding to it) but it's fun to try!  I was playing with this 3D embossing folder (Sizzix Trees by Kathrin Breen) last month!  The first time I cracked the card stock so I remembered the trick of dampening the card stock slightly before embossing and that worked!  

Since the prompt for Sparkles was to use the word Merry, I thought I'd use this rather elegant Merry Christmas die I ordered from Gummiapan late last year.  However because it's so wide the orientation really needs to be landscape and as I wanted to use it with this embossed panel, I thought about leaving the "Christmas" off after fiddling a bit I tried the sentiment diagonally and this is what I came up with!    

I added a tree (Yvonne Creations Family Christmas Window) to the lower right corner because it was a little too plain! And then went over everything with the Wink of Stella Pen to make it sparkle! 

I know it seems strange to make Christmas cards in June but this year is flying by and it will be December in no time!  So I hope to see your "Merry" Creations in the gallery over at the Sparkles Christmas Challenge!

Petit Oiseau and Buzzing Bee

Challenge #289 at Time Out Challenges has just gone live and this fortnight we want to see projects Inspired By Your Favourite Winged Thing!  

This challenge is generously being sponsored by Lawn Fawn and they are offering our Top Pick as chosen by the design teams a $25 credit to the store!  

 The Top Pick will also be invited to join Time Out as a guest designer in a future challenge!  Speaking of guest designers, our guest designer this fortnight is Kathy Asper of My Asperations our winner from Challenge #284!  Be sure to check out how Kathy was inspired by her favourite winged thing as well as my talented team mates over on the Time Out Blog!

When thinking about Winged Things, my brain immediately went to birds - I had a budgerigar many years ago (I may have mentioned my Billy Boy once or twice already on my blog LOL). He was a great pet - chattering away all day telling anybody who would listen "what a good little boy" he was.  He also loved to dance and he would come when called!  His cage door was mostly left open which was a problem on weekends because he rarely let me sleep in!   Billy Boy was blue and yellow so I made up a little bird (Poppy Stamps Nordic Bird Bunch) in blue and yellow and put him aside!  At this point my Mojo decided to go AWOL!

Eventually I remembered I had an old rubber stamp (from de Stempelwinkel) that I had bought at a craft market in 2018 but never got around to using - well I can't make out a lot of the text but I know enough French to recognise the word "Oiseaux"!   I had an idea was to create a circular aperture, have the text behind the aperture, surround the aperture with flowers and have the bird in the centre of the aperture nestled among the flowers!   After stamping the text, I realised it was too harsh (should have stamped off first) but managed to save it by softening it with a piece of vellum.  I cut some Nordic flowers (Poppy Stamps Nordic Flourishes and Nordic Flower Heads) from white and coloured them with various (pastel) alcohol markers.   Then I pulled down the bird I'd made and realised the colours were far too bright for my bird!  So I made up another bird this time cut from white and coloured with alcohol markers - fortunately, like most of Poppy Stamps' Nordic Collection, these birds are a doddle to make up!

I finished off the card with a simple "hugs" sentiment (Spellbinders Vivid Script Sentiments) and mounted it on a brown card base!  

***

Now a bird may be my favourite winged thing but this bee die which came with the Spellbinders Advent Calendar last year is a lot of fun to play with!  And since I have already have quite a few bee related resources I guess bees are probably my second favourite winged thing - at least when made from paper ... in real life I've been stung way too many times!  

I made up a few bees and played with other bee related stash and this Happy "Bee" Day card with a black frame (two rectangle dies), a pierced honeycomb panel and the addition of 3 flowers was my favourite (the little flower die came with the set)!  The wings were cut from yellow vellum and when assembled, I mounted him on one of those little action wobbler springs so he wiggles (even buzzes) a little!

I'm looking forward to reading about your favourite winged thing and seeing your creations in the Time Out Gallery!  Please remember we only allow links to 5 challenges combined - Time Out plus 4 others!

Spotted Stocking

Sparkles Christmas Challenge 171 has just gone live and Caz has chosen Christmas Stocking as the theme for the month of May!

Finally, a chance to break out this this Woodware stamp set (Big Bubble Stocking) I ordered a while ago!  I cut bubbles (Woodware Big Bubbles and Woodware Bubbles) from a piece of patterned paper as well as snippets of red and green.  I think there must be another die that I should have bought because there were a lot of smaller bubbles needed to complete the stocking and I needed to pull out many other sets to try and find the right sized bubbles - time consuming and fiddly (ugh)!

Anyway not being a quitter, I finally finished the card and added this small "joy" sentiment (Reverse Confetti).  Glossy Accents helped complete the "bubble" look I was after.  The holly leaves were paper-pieced from a co-ordinating piece of patterned paper.

I'd like join the following challenges

NBUS Challenge #74 - NBUS Woodware Big Bubble Stocking, Woodware Bubbles, Woodware Big Bubbles;

Carnivale Celebration

Challenge #287 at Time Out has just gone live and this fortnight we have a

Photo Inspiration Challenge

Here's a closer look!

Challenge 278 is being sponsored by Uniko and they are very kindly offering our top pick as chosen by the design team a £25.00 Store Credit. 

The Top Pick will also be invited to join Time Out as a guest designer in a future challenge and speaking of guest designers, our guest designer this fortnight is Heather Heroldt of Heather's Pages - our winner from Challenge #282!  Be sure to check out her gorgeous creation inspired by our photo as well as those of my talented team mates over on the Time Out Blog!

This photo was taken at the KuKi (Kulturfestival zu Kielen) festival in May 2022.  The bi-annual festival attracts many of Luxembourg's artists and artisans as well as many from further afield but it's actually held in my village so I try to "pull out all the stops" as they say - the cards in the photo were all mine!   This particular year we had street artists wandering about in Venetian Carnivale Costumes and it really did feel like a time to be celebrating (you may remember a little thing called Covid) and I was lucky enough to have my friend Sonya snap this photo as this handsome gentleman and his partner were admiring all my hard work!  

Luckier still to have the perfect stash when Stephanie chose this photo as inspiration for the Time Out Challenge having bought this Masquerade set from Verve before Julee Tilman closed the company many years ago now!   I don't know how many others have this set in their stash, but there is a lot of other inspiration in the photo - the flowers, the colours, the embroidery, the cards!

I stamped in Versafine Clair Rain Forest on pink card stock and cut with the matching dies.  I went around all the edges of the die cut image including around the eyes (from the rear) with a fine foam brush to hide any pink edges.   Once I had stacked up the image, I added Glossy Accents, sprinkled a little holographic glitter and added more Glossy Accents.  I did something similar with the "60" and the mask grips.  The masks were mounted on foam tape so they sat above the grip.

Given how the flower trail on my tent matched the embroidery on the gentleman's coat, I just had to incorporate a flower spray into my design and remembered this set (Yvonne Creations Swing Set) that I had bought in 2017 and was still NBUS!  I cut three from pink and coloured the stems and leaves with alcohol markers (and a Wink of Stella not that I was able to catch that in any photos of course)!

Since I didn't have a celebrate sentiment die, I spelt out "a time 2 celebrate" using a Gummiapan alphabet die set!  This card is for my sister so I don't mind putting in a bit more effort but if I ever revisit this design, I'll be printing out a sentiment - the cutting and lining up was a bit of a nightmare and I had moved it several times before I took the above photos and I still wasn't happy with it.

I tried one more time to realign the sentiment (praying that any holes left from adhesive could be covered up) and I am a little happier now (though I may still replace the "2" with "to" now I have the space 😉)

I can't wait to see how this Time Out's Photo Inspiration captures your imagination!

I'd like to enter the following challenges

NBUS Challenge #73 - Flower Trail (Yvonne Creations Swing Set) and background art deco cover plate;

Neglected Stuff Challenge 4/25 - The Masquerade Set hasn't been used since 2015;

Cut it Up Challenge #328 - Something starting with C (Carnviale and Celebrate);

Traumfabrik Challenge #138 - The movie is Magnolia but any flowers will do;

April 2025 Word Power - Hopefully all the work in this sentiment will catch the eye;

Easter Blessings

 

I'm here with a reminder for Challenge #286  at Time Out Challenges where you still have another week to Pick (at least) 2 of the following word prompts to spark your creativity and come play cards with us!

Stencil, Floral, Spots, Arch, Water and Pastel

Some words may have a double meaning; for example 'Water' may inspire you to pull out your water colours you may be inspired to have a nautical theme (i.e. on or around the water)!  Please mention which words you have chosen and how they inspired you - especially if it isn't obvious!  And please remember we only allow a total of 5 challenges - ours plus 4 others!

This challenge is generously being sponsored by Gina K. and they are offering our Top Pick as chosen by the design team members a $25 credit to the store!  The Top Pick will also be invited to join Time Out as a guest designer in a future challenge!

This pretty die was Day 1 of the Gummiapan Easter Advent Calendar.  This is the first year Gummiapan has released an Easter Advent Calendar and as I am so sick of losing weight only to put it on again at Easter and Christmas that I told my husband I did NOT want any chocolate this Easter and wanted him to preorder this set instead!  

Unfortunately, I've been laid low for a week now with yet another bug, but was determined to make an Easter card for my choir director.   I just hope my shaky voice will last the next few days for the musical marathon that is Easter in our English-speaking parish (5 services in 4 days)!

I cut the whole floral oval twice and then just the blooms along the bottom once.  Once I trimmed off the blooms and foliage, I coloured them using pastel alcohol markers and overlaid them back on the stacked oval frame.

So I've included Pastel and Floral on my design and I guess since the oval frame is closed at the bottom it's an Arch of sorts as well!

I was able to cut the frame from snippets of white card left over from previous projects (a failed pillow box in this case) and the Easter sentiment (The Greetery) was cut once from a snippet of gold cardstock and then again from a snippet of a more reflective gold paper.  The flower centres, "blessings" and the carefully nestled Easter eggs (Poppy Stamps Whittle Chickens and Eggs) - were also cut from from the same snippet.

I'd like to enter the following fabulous challenges

NBUS Challenge #73 - the floral frame is NBUS; 

Darnell's Weekly IDEAS - D for Dies this week; 

Krafty Chicks Challenge #704 - CAS week;

Word Power April 2025 Challenge - Sentiment as focus;

The Words for this challenge are

Stencil, Floral, Spots, Arch, Water and Pastel

This challenge is generously being sponsored by Gina K. and they are offering our Top Pick as chosen by the design team members a $25 credit to the store!  The Top Pick will also be invited to join Time Out as a guest designer in a future challenge!

I started by Stencilling some Spots (Spellbinders Advent Calendar 2024) in Pastel colours onto an Arched  Panel (Spellbinders Essential Arches), then added a Floral arrangement (Spellbinders Advent Calendar 2024) and some Water droplets and finished my card off with a simple "Hugs" sentiment (Spellbinders Vivid Script).

So I managed all 6 and was pretty chuffed because everything was NBUS - the stencil, the set of arches, the flowers and the "hugs" sentiment - but as I said it's only necessary to Pick 2!  I hope you'll Pick 2 and join take some Time Out of your busy schedules and join us!

Winter Wreath of Joy

I just had to have this die set (Sizzix Festive Wreath) when I saw it - there were so many useful elements I thought it was great value!  However as is often the case, when it arrived it was a little bit bigger than I had anticipated and so it fell into that black hole that is my NBUS pile and I soon forgot about it! 

  Thankfully, Dawn has chosen Christmas Foliage as the theme for the month of April at  Sparkles Christmas Challenge 171, so I was inspired to dig a little deeper in my NBUS pile and found it!

Once I had constructed the layered elements and arranged them satisfactorily on my wreath I added a single word sentiment (from an old Reverse Confetti set I think) in red to pick up the red berries (both glossily accented) and added them to a red card base!

I'd like join the following fabulous challenges

NBUS Challenge #73 - NBUS Wreath die set;

Many of you will remember Claire Brennan from her Waltzing Mouse Stamps days!  As soon as I heard Claire was back I went shopping and this stamp set was first in my basket!  I love the mid 20th century city skyline which could be any city but I'm thinking New York ... and therefore the perfect backdrop for a card inspired by my favourite movie West Side Story.  With a little imagination, this NBUS dancer (Spellbinders Just Dance) could very well be Maria as she dances and sings I Feel Pretty!

Roll out the Red Carpet

Onefer

 

The 97th Academy Awards have just concluded and once again the bold and beautiful have graced the red carpet with their elegant (and at times eccentric) fashion choices!  Time Out Challenge #284 is all about past and present red carpet haute couture as inspiration!

Our challenge is sponsored by Picket Fence Studios who have very generously donated a $25 store credit to be awarded to our top pick as voted by the Design Team.  Our winner will also be invited to guest design with us in a future challenge.  Speaking of guest designers, we are joined this challenge by  Carol our winner of Challenge 279!  Please do drop by and see what she has made especially for this challenge and if you didn't come from the Challenge Blog, drop by there as well and see how the rest of the team were inspired by Red Carpet masterpieces!

Stephanie has handpicked a few creations from previous Academy Awards to help you on your way but feel free to find your own red carpet outfit  - please include a photo so we can appreciate how you were inspired!  Here's a closer look at Stephanie's picks

Can you guess which of these magnificent dresses was my initial inspiration for this challenge?  Yes it was Halle Berry's gorgeous number, though it was a tough choice as I also had ideas a few of the others and there was also a beautiful dress Liz Taylor wore for her first Academy Award in 1961!

Here's a closeup of Halle's dress!  Firstly the sheer bodice - I framed a panel of dark red vellum (so I'd have somewhere to hide any adhesive)!  Next the embroidery - I used this NBUS fuchsia die set (Memory Box Delicate Fuchsia Trio) to mimic the spray of greenery and flowers on Halle's gorgeous dress.

I did make up all three flowers from the trio but I only used one in the end so there was room for this "fabulous" word die (Honey Bee)!  I guess the alliteration appealed to me and luckily it just fitted inside the frame!  Lastly, once everything was in place I added a little sparkle to mimic the gold sheen in  Halle's dress with my newly acquired Wink of Stella pen (loving it)!

Twofer

I couldn't let all that inspiration go to waste and Zoe Saldana's dress with all it's billowing frills made me think of Ursula from the Little Mermaid and I was inspired to make this octopus card for my husband's birthday using 3 shades of purple - light to dark as in Zoe's dress.

The die is actually meant to be interactive with the bottom legs spinning independently of the rest of the body but I struggled to give it enough support while still allowing the legs to swing so I went with an action wobbler element instead.

And what would an Octopus do without his garden?  I cut some coral with dies from a few different sets from various coloured snippets (below is just a sample that I thought to photograph during construction).

The signpost die is from the same set as the Octopus but the sentiment is from a Poppy Stamps set (Whittle Sea Life Sentiment) - I performed surgery on it so it could be split across 2 lines.  

I'd like to enter both cards in the following fabulous challenges

NBUS Challenge #72 - NBUS Fuchsia die set, NBUS Octopus;

I'd like to enter Card 1 in the Snippets Challenge #501 - various coloured snippets were useful for cutting the coral;

I'd like to enter card 2 in the following fab challenges;

Fab n Funky Challenge #612 - Punny Sentiment;

Crafty Animals Challenge #92 - Include an animal;

Die cut Divas March Challenge - Include a critter (and a die cut);
