Ain't You Grand!

 

Challenge #313 has just gone live at Time Out Challenges and this fortnight we have the theme

Playing Music 

Playing music could be playing a musical instrument or playing music on a turntable or cassette deck or walkman, or a pair of headphones or a CD - whatever playing music means to you!

Challenge #313 is generously being sponsored by Gina K and they are offering our Top Pick as chosen by the design teams $25 credit to their 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 Cindy Chui, one of our honourable mentions from Challenge #308!   You can check out how Cindy and my talented team mates have interpreted our Playing Music theme over on the Time Out Blog!

I had quite a few NBUS dies that I could have used for this theme but I decided on this Grand Piano die from Gummiapan and made a card for my choir director's birthday!

I snipped and stacked several die-cuts of the piano to give it dimension.  I winked it as well but it's not obvious from the photo. 

I had this lovely frame (Gummiapan) already cut and used it to showcase the grand piano.  I cut some quavers and semi-quavers to indicate music being played and coated them with Glossy Accents.

The sentiment (Spellbinders GLP-380 Must Have Sentiments) was foiled using black foil and mounted with foam tape.

The bouquet of yellow roses (Spellbinders Flower Cart) helped break up all that black and white - my choir director also loves flowers and her favourite colour is yellow!  I mounted the bouquet on double foam tape so it sat neatly on top of the piano - there's quite a lot of dimension to the piano!

Here's a closeup though it still doesn't show up the sparkle of the winking on the piano.

TWOFER :

Since I had the Flower Cart set out, I made up another card using the other bouquet from the Flower Cart set.  I added centres to these flowers with White Enamel Accents.

Hope and Blooms

Time Out Challenge #311 has just gone live and it's another Pick 2 Challenge and as you can see I got a little carried away - 6 cards for this challenge!

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

The Word Prompts for this challenge are

Pastel, Earth, Rain, Hope, Tree, Bloom

You can interpret these words any way you like but please explain if it isn't obvious and please remember we only allow a total of 5 challenges - ours plus 4 others!  I hope you enjoy our challenge and that you can take a little Time Out and join us for some fun!  

Challenge #311 is generously being sponsored by STAMPlorations and Shery is offering our Top Pick as chosen by the design teams a $25 credit to the STAMPlorations 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 Karen Walker our winner from Challenge #306!  Be sure to check out the Time Out Blog to see how how Karen and my talented team mates were inspired by these six words!

Shery very kindly sent me a set of her amazing Quickcards #3 - Spring Florals A2 Card Fronts!  These absolutely gorgeous watercolour designs are super thick (325gsm), super smooth and an absolute delight to work with!  

To start with, I stamped this lovey piece of text from an old WMS set (Fine Feathers) which included the word "Hope" onto the bottom right hand corner of one of the more pastel card fronts - there was a nice little blank space there that accommodated it perfectly.  Then I used the eclipse technique to cut the word "hope" (Winnie and Walter) from a floral section of the card - subtle but love the dimension of this!  Then I scattered a few purple butterflies and pearls around.

I couldn't stop there though!  Since I had the WMS Fine Feathers set out, I grabbed another sentiment from the set and stamped it onto a scrap of vellum.  I wrapped this around the card front and cut a pink feather (Memorybox Plumed Gypsy Feather), distressed it a little with Picked Raspberry DI and placed it under the sentiment.  I had a bottle of white enamel accents (that I hadn't touched for years) and after a good shake laid some white dots on the feather for some interest.  It still needed something more so added a few of these tiny butterflies (also distressed with Picked Raspberry DI using a finger dauber).

I thought this lovely NBUS butterfly (Gummiapan's 2025 Easter Advent Calendar) went rather well with the watercolour blooms and made up another 3 cards fairly quickly using the panels that were predominantly purple.  The butterflies were cut from a light purple card stock but I distressed them with Seedless Preserves and Chipped Sapphire DIs .  I winked them as well though it's hard to tell from the photos - they look so much lovelier in real life!  I cut just the body from some darker purple and laid it down the middle - these Gummiapan dies are designed to snip away easily.  I just love how well these turned out!

• I added 2 butterflies to the first purple panel and a "hugs" sentiment (Spellbinders Vivid Script) and tried some photo corners (Sizzix Bigz Movers and Shapers ATC).

• I added a "comfort" sentiment to the second with a single butterfly and some different (and NBUS) photo corners (Gummiapan).

• I stamped a birthday sentiment (WMS Big Day Today) on the 3rd. and added a single butterfly and a few smaller butterflies.  

For the 6th card, I stamped some text that included the word "BLOOM" (Poppystamps Colorful Life) onto another of the card panels and added a swallowtail butterfly (JustPaper Butterfly Mix by Justine Hovey) cut from blue card stock (this panel was more blue than purple).  I wanted to add "rain" drops to the panel but couldn't make them work on this card and ended up using these to line the body of the butterfly instead so they're really just clear pearls not rain drops - uhh!

So I've managed Pastel, Hope, and Bloom!  I hope you can take some Time Out and join us this fortnight.  You have until the April 29th to link up your entries ... can't wait to see which words you choose and how they inspire you!

La Dolce Vita

A new challenge has just gone live at Time Out Challenges and we would like to see how you are inspired by Sweet Treats!

Challenge #310 is generously being sponsored by Lawn Fawn and they are offering our Top Pick as chosen by the design teams a $25 credit to their 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 the very talented Dawn of Dawn's World our winner from Challenge #305!   You can check out how Dawn and my talented team mates were inspired by their favourite card making techniques over on the Time Out Blog!

This Strawberry Charlotte die came in last year's Gummiapan Advent Calendar and being NBUS was my first thought for this challenge!  The Dolce Vite banner die (Spellbinders) was also a recent acquisition and as La Dolce Vite literally translates to The Sweet Life, it seemed the perfect sentiment.  Then it was just a matter of deciding out how to put a card together.  In the end I chose another NBUS die to frame the dessert (also from last year's Gummiapan Advent Calendar).

With a little snipping, I was able to build up layers to give the dessert some dimension.   I also shaped the lady fingers with a stylus and 'winked' them to give the appearance of a sugar coating but this wasn't picked up by the camera unfortunately.

I am grateful for and would like to enter the following challenges

NBUS Challenge #85 - NBUS Charlotte die, frame and sentiment

Jolly Jumping Elf

 Sparkles Christmas Challenge 183 has just gone live and Melanie has chosen Elves and Gnomes as our theme for April!

For this challenge I pulled out this jolly little elf (Charlie & Paulchen Wichtelreihe), which was a good thing as I had forgotten I'd bought this little box die (Charlie & Paulchen Kleine Geschenk Box) for him to jump out from. 

The elf was cut from white card stock and coloured with alcohol markers and his beard was also cut from white felt.  I coloured his little shoes black and added a little glossy accents so they'd shine

For his nose, I coloured it with a flesh coloured marker and coated it with glossy accents to make it bulbous.

Here's a closeup

I added a trimmed down wobble element behind his back to give the impression he really is jumping out of that box and also so he would stand clear of this large sentiment (Waltzing Mouse Stamps 'Tis the Season) - I'm having printer issues at the moment but I would have liked to say "Have your-elf a merry little Christmas"!

The rather splendid frame is from the 2023 Gummiapan Advent Calendar.

I am grateful for and would like to enter the following challenges:

NBUS Challenge #85 - NBUS Cloud Frame and Box;

Ahoy 70

 

Challenge #309 has just gone live at Time Out Challenges and this fortnight we have the theme

In the Clear 

We would like to see you use at least one clear element on your project.   That might be acetate, vellum, glossy accents, crystal drops etc. - as long as you can see through it, it's clear!

Challenge #309 is generously being sponsored by Uniko and they are offering our Top Pick as chosen by the design teams £25 credit to their 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 Verena of Simple Stamper, our winner from Challenge #304!   You can check out how Verena and my talented team mates have interpreted our CLEAR theme over on the Time Out Blog!

My husband is a bit of a sea dog and around this time of the year I'm always trying to think of a new nautical idea for his birthday ... and this year it's a big one!

This clear theme was the perfect opportunity to dig out this NBUS window die (Memory Box Ocean Porthole) and a yellow submarine (Gummiapan Cute Submarine) seemed like the perfect thing to put on the other side of that window!

I cut an aperture in a front panel and the card front using a circle die slightly larger than my porthole and sandwiched a sheet of acetate between them.  Then I cut the porthole twice - to cover the hole on the front and back sides of the aperture (inside of the card).  I cut them from the same dark grey card stock but applied gilding wax to get that tarnished brass look!

The submarine was cut three times.  The bottom layer was kept intact.  The next layer up, I trimmed off the periscope and propellor.  From the last submarine I trimmed off the turret.  These Gummiapan dies are designed so that you only need to snip in one or two places to build up 3-D images.  Finally I cut just the porthole from another snippet and removed the inside window part.  I blacked out the window then added the porthole on top.  I cut all the layers from yellow cardstock but added shading with alcohol markers.  To give the submarine's porthole a glassy appearance I added glossy accents.

I found this DP featuring ocean creatures and cut a circle just large enough to be seen through the porthole.  In this way the DP was visible through the window but there was enough white space inside on which to write (I thought the pattern was a bit too busy)!

So I hope I've given you some ideas on using a clear element and I hope you can take some Time Out and join us this fortnight.  You have until the April 1st to link up your entries ... we can't wait to see how you get In the Clear this fortnight!

Not so Frosty Hugs

 Sparkles Christmas Challenge 182 has just gone live and Caz has chosen Snowman (men or person/s) as our theme for March!

Finally, I had an excuse to use this NBUS snowman that came in the 2024 Advent Calendar from Gummiapan ... and this lovely Holly frame that came in the 2025 Advent Calendar!

The frame was cut twice and stacked.  I embossed one of the frame negatives with an unbranded embossing folder for a snowy background.

The snowman's body was cut three times for strength and dimension.  When I cut the first one, I placed a little sellotape behind the snowman to keep the bits in place (nose, eyes and buttons), then I coloured these bits and the arms with alcohol markers - I didn't need to be too careful because I cut another snowman (sans bits) and added this over the top!  On the 3rd snowman I removed the arms so they seemed to be further back than the body.

Once I'd cut the snowman's man (from black cardstock) I went over with glossy accents and added this sprig of holly!  I also added glossy accents to the buttons.

After agonising over a sentiment for way too long, I remembered that Olaf the snowman liked warm hugs and so I used this unconventional seasons greeting (Spellbinders Vivid Script) instead of something more traditional!  I also added glossy accents to this sentiment!

Don't forget to check out all the great snowman inspiration on the Sparkles Christmas Challenges Blog and I look forward to seeing your snowmen in the gallery!

I am grateful for and would like to enter the following challenges:

NBUS Challenge #84 - NBUS Snowman and Holly Frame;

Clever Cogs

A new challenge has just gone live at Time Out Challenges and we would like to see how you are inspired by Your Favourite Card Making Technique!

Challenge #305 is generously being sponsored by Top Flight Stamps and they are offering our Top Pick as chosen by the design teams a $25 credit to their 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 the very talented Gundi of Papierelle our winner from Challenge #300!   You can check out how Gundi and my talented team mates were inspired by their favourite card making techniques over on the Time Out Blog!

If you've ever scrolled to the very bottom of my blog you may have come across my (verbose) About Me entry squirrelled away at the bottom of the left hand column describing my crafting journey and how I love to "move it" - that is to make interactive cards not to exercise!  So when I had to make a card inspired by my favourite card-making technique, it was really just a matter of how not what!  

As is usually the case, I first examined my ever increasing pile of NBUS stash and these gears (included in the Gummuiapan 2024 Christmas Advent Calendar) seemed like a great idea for a masculine card and I desperately needed ideas for my son's fast approaching 30th birthday!   Then I found this witty sentiment on the Gummiapan FB page and it went from being a great idea to being the perfect idea for my son  (he really is a "clever cogs" or at least a "clever clogs" as the expression goes) and I could imagine the cogs turning and this clever sentiment popping out the side!  

In the end I also used some other gears (Sizzix Mini Gears Movers and Shapers) which weren't as elegant but meshed better and these were the only two that actually moved - the other gears are just there for show!

Since my son was turning 30, I thought it only fitting that I place "30" (Gummiapan Numbers Set) on one of the gears that actually turned and placed the "30" so that it was straight when the sentiment was revealed and therefore at a 90° angle when the sentiment was hidden (if that makes sense) - I hoped that as the 30 wasn't straight, it would be obvious that it needed to be turned.  He was staying here on the morning of his birthday so I was able to straighten the crooked cog and watch his surprise as the little "clever cogs" sentiment popped out the side.  It wasn't perfect but it worked well enough.  

To give the gears an aged patina I cut them from black cardstock (stacked 3 high) and went over them gilding wax using a finger dauber and I did the same with the sentiment (Poppy Stamps Happy Birthday Script)!

To add interest to the background panel I second-generation stamped a blueprint for a bicyclette hirondelle (Stampers Anonymous Steampunk CMS107) - an NBUS set still in its original packaging that I had completely forgotten I owned and came across accidentally while looking for a different rubber stamp.  

The  computer generated sentiment (Freaking Awesome Font) was printed and cut with a fishtail tag (Love2Craft Multi Frame Die Set)!  

I punched a hole in the front panel using a 1cm punch (my circle dies were all too large) and stacked a few circles which acted as a spindle connecting the gear on the lower right corner of the panel to the fishtail banner underneath.  It was important to make sure the stacked circles moved comfortably within the punched hole so I shaved them a little with a file.  It was also important to make sure the gear was only attached to the spindle of stacked circles so it moved freely on the panel.  Then I needed to work out where to punch a tiny hole to attach the other moving gear to the panel with a brad ... the hole in the gear was too big so I so I had to add a false bottom and punched a hole in that for the brad!  

You can see why I only ended up making just two of the gears movable!  Note to self ... next time don't overcomplicate the design and just make one of the gears moveable!  

Finally I added the panel to the card base with foam tape so there was room for the swing out sentiment to move underneath being careful not to impede the movement.

We'd love to see how your favourite card making technique inspires you and hope you can take some Time Out and come play cards with us this fortnight.

Festive Fir

 Challenge #303 at Time Out has just gone live and this fortnight we have another

Photo Inspiration Challenge

Our lovely team member Ishani shared this photo with us of a family celebration and we thought it might inspire you - here's a closer look!

Challenge 299 is being sponsored by Birch Press and they are very kindly offering our top pick as chosen by the design team a $20 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 Trina Pham of Phamtastic Designs - our winner from Challenge #298!  

You can see how Trina was inspired by our photo as well as my talented team mates over on the Time Out Blog!  I do hope you can take some Time Out and come play cards with us this fortnight!

There was so much inspiration in this photo it was hard to know where to start but eventually I decided on the left dress and made up a Christmas tree (Gummiapan Divided Fir) using a patterned paper that was as close to the colour of that first dress as I could find!  I draped a sentiment banner (inspired by the wrap) across the middle in green and added some green baubles and a star.

And of course by swapping out alternate segments of the fir with plain white I get a twofer!  

Then I thought I'd try the same with dress 2 and after an exhaustive hunt through Christmas papers, found this lovely paper and made up another two trees with some snippets of copper mirror card stock.

I am grateful for and would like to enter the following challenges

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - It's Die-cember so use those dies!

Celebration Fika

 

Challenge #295 at Time Out has just gone live and this fortnight we have another

Photo Inspiration Challenge

Here's a closer look at this fabulous source of inspiration that our team mate Jenny snapped of Queenscliff Harbour !

Challenge 295 is being sponsored by Lawn Fawn and they are very kindly offering our top pick as chosen by the design team a $25 store credit and 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 Schweinfurth of Stamps at Play - our winner from Challenge 290!  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!

What I noticed straight away was that yummy pastry (Jenny's two feathered visitors seem to be eyeing it as well).  Which made me think of this NBUS Gummiapan Swedish Fika set and the timing could not have been better because one of my oldest friends in Luxembourg celebrates her 60th birthday this year and she just happens to be Swedish!  

A little gilding wax and a few more NBUS items later and finally had a design I was happy with and I hope Lena will love!

Here's a photo I snapped in the sunshine earlier in the afternoon.

And here is something I found on FB

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!

I am grateful for and would like to enter the following fabulous challenges

NBUS Challenge #75 - NBUS Stamp Set, Gummiapan Sweeties;
