It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

We have a new sponsor, Penny Black, for the Curtain Call Inspiration: Bouquet!  A randomly selected participant in the Bouquet challenge will have their choice of a Penny Black gift certificate, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!


I loved working with the You & Me stamp set! I inked the stamp directly with Distress Markers, then went over it with more ink and a water pen to soften the look. I inked in a background and left the layer  wavy to match the tissue paper background.

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Beginnings


It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!


The Beginnings LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!

I just loved the soft colours in the inspiration photo - and all the natural elements. Happy Place from Verve was perfect for the challenge - and for me, my craft room isn't entirely unpacked but it's definitely starting to resemble MY Happy Place!

I also used the Happy Doodles die set - rather than coloring the flowers I embossed them in white. The sentiment is stamped on a layer cut with the Banner Bundle. I used the Pennant Trim die along the edge of the long panel.

Of course I HAD to use the perfect Donut You Know Confetti Cuts and Donut You Know Stamp Set from Reverse Confetti! My super CAS card was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch 110!

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Kissing Booth!


It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge! 

I've used lots of fabulous Reverse Confetti goodies on my card today!

My card started with a fun Happy Heart Day Quick Card Panel and papers inspired by the graphic. The sentiment is from I Like You, and the ampersand is from the new Documented Confetti Cuts. The vellum layer was cut with Circles 'n Scallops and I used Tag Me Confetti Cuts for the sentiments. The Arrow die got a nice thick coat of glossy accents before I added some enamel dots.

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Soft Scarf


We have a new sponsor, Hero Arts, for this challenge!  A randomly selected participant will receive SIX new clear stamp sets from the Hero Arts, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!



For my card, I worked with the Totally stamp set - it really is totally awesome! I heat embossed the skyline in white and went over with a watercolor wash in the colors from the graphic. I was super impressed with how well the bold images stamped - no conditioning needed!

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Winter Wonder!


It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

We have a new sponsor, Altenew, for this challenge!  A randomly selected participant will receive a stamp set of choice from the Altenew shop, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!


This was my first time working with Altenew stamps, and they are just lovely! I chose something really different from anything else in my (sizeable) stamp collection, Persian Motifs. For this notecard - 3x4" - I heat embossed the images, filling them in and shading with a silver Wink of Stella pen before fussy cutting. Though they look quite shiny here, I embellished with matte silver sequins so the sequins didn't compete with the amazing images!

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Clearly Christmas!



It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

photo source: bhg.com

We have a new sponsor, Winnie&Walter, for the Curtain Call Inspiration: Clearly Christmas!  A randomly selected participant in the Clearly Christmas challenge will receive a $30 Winnie&Walter shopping code, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!

I was excited to work with the lovely Winter Woodland stamp set - I love all the images in this set, but I especially appreciate the size of the lovely sentiments, just perfect! I was so inspired by the fab colors in the inspiration, as well as the big bow and the ornaments. I heat embossed the fun pine boughs, and went for a CAS look reminiscent of an ornament on the tree. 

The card base is a really shimmery cardstock for even more shine - but it just refuses to show up in photos!

Curtain Call - Boho Bright!


It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

We have a new sponsor, Verve Stamps, for the Curtain Call Inspiration: Boho Bright!  A randomly selected participant in the Boho Bright challenge will receive a $30 gift certificate to use at  Verve Stamps, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!


The flourish details in the inspiration image immediately had me thinking of the gorgeous peacock image in Moments Remembered. I used a dark purple ink on some ombre paper and fussy cut. I've also used the wonderful Pennant Trim Die, folding in on a right angle to adhere behind the rectangular panel.
Stop by the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Boho Bright for the challenge details and to play along with us!
