Fusion Card Challenge - Pink Typewriter...


Hey,

Welcome to another fabulous Fusion Card Challenge.

This time we have 'Pink Typewriter' for you! As always both the sketch and the inspiration image are awesome.


Which will you try?

Weirdly for me, no fusing this time, the typewriter inspired me so much, I didn't use the sketch!

I love these sets from Lawn Fawn - Just My Type and Love Poems. They make super cute little scenes and I thought it would be fun to make a little scene for this challenge.

I stamped everything onto watercolour paper and watercoloured everything - easier I find when you have lots of bits and pieces! I constructed the 'room' by sticking all my papers together to get the right division for the wallpaper, skirting board and floor and then I die-cut it all out as one piece.

It's SO cute, I love it and it is accompanying a gift for a friend.

Make sure you check out all the rest of the inspiration by the DT over at the Fusion challenge blog, and play along with your own creation! When playing along you may use the sketch OR the photo to inspire your makes. OR, if you are feeling adventurous, you can fuse them together (see what I did there!).

Can't wait to see your makes. 

Challenge ends on November 9th.

Retro Rubber Challenge #170 - Fallin' for Autumn...


Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

This time we want you to use fall / autumn-inspired imagery on your card.



I love fall/autumn imagery. I also love Hedgehogs and they make me think of autumn in my parent's garden when the family of Hedgehogs start appearing! I have no idea if they are a family, but my parents have been in their house for 32 years and every autumn a Hedgehog appears!

I love this set by Jen Hadfield 'Warm & Cozy' which I bought in Jan 2020.. to my shame I have NEVER used it! I stamped the Hedgie in brown ink and coloured him with copics. Then I fussy cut him.

The papers are by Lawn Fawn from their Sweater weather collection and I added a Taylored Expressions simple strip that was stamped for me by a friend.

It came out so cute and is going to a friend.

What fall/autumn goodies will you pull out? Don't forget to pop over to Retro Rubber and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends November 5.

Don't forget to tell us the age of your stamp, that is part of the fun of our challenge, and please only enter 10 challenges including Retro Rubber.

Fusion Card Challenge - Pumpkin Mug...


Hey,

Welcome to another fantastic Fusion Card Challenge.

A bit of an absence from me, with the move, etc, but I am back! 

This time we have 'Pumpkin Mug' for you. As always both the sketch and the inspiration image are awesome.


Which will you try?

I loved both, so I fused them!

The pumpkins and the mugs inspired me. I used a fave set of mine by Waffle Flower 'Happy Fall' - are you like me and don't always use the tiny stamps in a set? Well this was a great opportunity to do that. I used a bunch of scrap papers to mimic the sketch and created a little pumpkin, pie, mug scene.

Sorry my photo is a touch dark, but I am still getting used to the light at night in the new house.

Make sure you check out all the rest of the inspiration by the DT over at the Fusion challenge blog, and play along with your own creation! When playing along you may use the sketch OR the photo to inspire your makes. OR, if you are feeling adventurous, you can fuse them together (see what I did there!).

Can't wait to see your makes. 

Challenge ends on October 26th.

Retro Rubber #169 - Anything Goes - Big Thanks


Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

I have missed about 5 weeks of Retro Rubber challenges, as Hubby and I relocated from NYC to Tampa!! It was a LOT and I needed to focus on my little family for a while.

But I am back, with everyone's fave - Anything Goes!




I love this set by Concord & 9th 'Big Thanks' I have had it since 2019 and I use it a lot, it comes with an awesome die-cut and looks great stamped in a rainbow of colours. Love your face is one of my all-time fave sayings.
