#105 Unstampabelles

 Good Evening or Good Morning everyone wherever you may be. Another month gone so it's time for our next challenge at Unstampabelles. Where has this year gone!! I for one will be glad when it's over as I've not been out of my house since March except for sitting in the garden. Hey Ho! Life eh!!

On to the next challenge. This time we would like you to think of the word INSPIRE!  In particular who or what inspired to get into the world of Paper Crafting. The Twist this time is to use the word Inspire on a Thank You card or Tag.

Here is my Inspiration for you.

My 'Thank You' tag is simply made using white card stock shaped with a corner punch. I covered it with paper from my stash. The 'Thank You' die is from Joanne Sheen added to a piece of red card stock. I googled the word Inspire and came up with this image with I snipped and mounted on to white card. Finally I punched a hole in the top and threading red string from my Christmas ribbon stash box.

When I started Paper Crafting with a passion I had no idea of the journey it would lead me on. I was first inspired by the technique of Pergamano. The delicate imagery that is created with this technique really appealed to me. As Paper Crafting began to take over my life I began wanting my creations to be completed more quickly. I found that Pergamano was time taking , beautiful but it needed time. So I expanded my techniques and knowledge to take on more Paper Crafting styles. I still have all my Pergamano tools and maybe one day I will go back to it. Who knows where our next path will lead us.

I hope you will enjoy taking part in this challenge. There is always a prize for the random drawn winner . Don't forget our one rule 'No Stamps please' We are UNSTAMPabelles.

Take care out there in this crazy world.

 Wash Your Hands, Wear a Mask and Keep your Distance!!! Then we will all stay safe.

Enjoy crafting !

CD Sunday Plus #45

 Good Morning everyone. It's time for our next challenge at CD Sunday Plus. It's 'Anything Goes' as long you use either a CD, USB or digi download when making your project. Also don't forget to tell us your source.

Here is my inspiration for you.

I used a square, scalloped. pre scored card as my base. The background and image are from the fabulous CD by Ooh La La 'Say it with words'. 

The Quotation:

 "Perhaps STRENGTH doesn't lie in never having been broken....

 .....but in the courage to grow STRONG in the broken places."

It's my turn to host this challenge and I'm looking forward to visiting your blogs to see your creations. 

Have a lovely week and stay safe!!

#44 CD Sunday Plus

 Good Morning Crafters. I hope everyone is keeping safe and well in these crazy times. WE are still merrily crafting away at CD Sunday Plus and the challenge as usual is 'Anything Goes'. The rule is that you use something from a CD, USB or download when creating your project. 

Here is  my inspiration for you.

I used a white pre folded scalloped card as my base. The CD used is from Debbie Moore 'Art Deco Christmas Dreams' I have also used some adorable scorable card from Hunkydory.

I have added some mustard Hunkydory card in strips on top of the background poinsettia paper to add interest. I then placed a poinsettia centrally and an oblong poinsettia spray in the top left corner. Then I placed the sentiment bottom right. I finally added gold gems to the central image and mustard strips.

Jo is our hostess with the mostess for this challenge and I'm sure she is looking forward to visiting you soon to see what you've been inspired to make. Don't forget it doesn't have to be a card . It could be a plaque, ATC, Journal page, scrap book layout etc etc. As long as you follow the rules. For more inspiration pop over the main blog at CD Sunday Plus ( link in sidebar).

Have a great week crafting and if you leave a comment Thank You. All comments are read and appreciated.

#104 Unstampabelles

Are you ready for another challenge at Unstampabelles/ It's a new month so a new challenge for you.

Our challenge title is Phoenix (rising from the ashes)

This could be salvaging a craft disaster, getting a career after a slow start, recovering from an illness i.e Breast Cancer or even celebrating a Divorce. So let your imagination run wild with this one. The optional twist is to use an embossing folder

Here is my inspiration for you.

This a an A4 card with background paper from Hunky Dory. The sentiment/verse is one I have in my stash and sadly I have used it several times to send to girl friends who have been  fighting this nasty disease! 

I added the pink ribbon to create a hanger for the plaque verse. This could be removed from the card quite easily.

This is just one idea. For more inspiration pop over to Unstampabelles (link in sidebar) to see ideas from the Design Team. Remember NO STAMPS please as we are UNSTAMPabelles.

Have a great time creating and I look forward to visiting your blogs real soon. Thank you for visiting and if you leave a comment , Thank You, they are all read and appreciated. 

#43 CD Sunday Plus

Good Morning crafters. It's time for our latest challenge at CD Sunday Plus. As usual it's 'Anything Goes' as long as you use something from a CD, USB or digi download and tell us your source. It doesn't have to be the main focus of your make, which means it could be the background, tag or sentiment etc.

Here is my inspiration for you.

                    ( This is looking a bit too blue as the light wasn't good when I took the photo.)

I started with A4 card stock and folded it portrait. Then I was having a browse through my Hunky Dory insert papers and found this lovely delicate image of an Owl in Winter. I thought it would make a lovely Christmas card. I've not used the inserts before as the main image but I think it worked.

The tag/sentiment  is from an Ooh La La CD 'Xmas Presence'. I added silver ribbon and a star gem to the tag. Et Voila!!

For more inspiration pop over to the CD Sunday Plus Home page to see what the rest of the team have created. (link in side bar) Remember it doesn't have to be a card it could be anything paper craft related.

Have a good week and take care out there!!
