Runway Inspired Challenge #82–You’re (Kind of) a Big Deal!


Hello my peeps!!

I’m back today to share the latest Runway Inspired Challenge with you!  And it’s a STUNNER!!

RIC82 Graphic

Is that not so beautiful?!!  And uber trendy right now!  I decided to give Jennifer McGuire’s embossing powder foiling technique a try!  Here’s the result!

RIC82 - You're Kind of a Big Deal

Okay, so obviously I was inspired by the black dress with the blingy dots.  Here’s how I created my project:

  1. Trim an A2 top-folding card base from black cardstock; score at 5.5” and use a teflon bone folder to perfect the crease.
  2. Trim an A2 sized card panel from black cardstock; stamp the Confetti background onto the panel using VersaMark; heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
  3. Apply heat reactive gold foil to the embossed polka dot panel and run it through a laminator; remove the gold foil sheet.
  4. Mark off a diagonal space on the card base using post it tape; stamp the sentiment using VersaMark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
  5. Apply heat reactive gold foil to the sentiment and run the card base through a laminator; remove the gold foil sheet.
  6. Using the post it tape as a guide, trim the polka dot panel on a diagonal to create a space for the sentiment.
  7. Adhere polka dot panels to the card base with foam squares.

Easy peasy!!  That Jennifer McGuire is a smart cookie!!  I’ve listed the products that I used below.

I know my sweet teammates have created some gorgeous projects to inspire you further, so I hope you’ll click on through to the Runway Inspired Challenge Blog!  Ellen Hutson LLC is our sponsor extraordinaire and she is offering up an amazing prize for the winner of this challenge!!  You have until Friday, May 1st to play along with us!

That’s it for me today, friends!  I’m off to have lunch with my bestie today!  I have a crazy week of activities to handle, but I’ll try to pop in again soon.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!!  I am ever so grateful when you do!  Have a great day!

Runway Inspired Challenge #81–You Are Made of Awesome!


Hello Friends!!

It’s time for the next Runway Inspired Challenge and this one is pretty stinkin’ fun!!

RIC81 Graphic

It’s funky, right?!!  Here’s my take on the inspiration photo:

RIC81 - You Are Awesome

Okay, so obviously I was inspired by the graphic lines of the dress.  As I usually do, I tried to simplify the design, since all of the “activity” going on in that dress stressed me out just a little.  Like it’s so intense, right?!!  So I minimized it a bit, and this is what I came up with.  I wanted to match the colors in the flair that I used (provided by our amazing sponsor Bossy Joscie), and I didn’t have the perfect matching cardstock.  So I pulled a trick out of my hat, and used some of my Copic Markers to color up some white cardstock, and then die cut it using the same triangle background die that I used to die cut the front panel.  Perfect!  I’ve listed the products that I used below!

We’d love for you to play along with us!!  Please click on through to the Runway Inspired Challenge Blog where you’ll find additional samples created by my other teammates to inspire you all!  You’ll also find the rules and regulations of the challenge, as well as the linky tool to link up your take on the challenge!  You have until Friday, April 17th to play along – and to win an amazing prize provided by our sponsor, Bossy Joscie!  Can’t wait to see your amazing work in our gallery!!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I’m headed to lunch with an old friend, and then back home to get caught up on some deadlines!!  Have a great day!

Runway Inspired Challenge #80–Lucky Stars!


Hello sweet peeps!!

RIC80 Graphic

It’s time for the next Runway Inspired Challenge, and boy is it awesome!!  Check out that dress, people!!  Is it not amazing?!!  Here’s my take on the inspiration photo:

Karolyn Loncon - Proposed Inked Background - Smooshed Ink Technique

Fun, right?!!  Clearly, I was inspired by that celestial background in the dress.  I did my faux watercolor/smooshing technique with this background, where I pounce my mini distress ink pads (Broken China, Salty Ocean, and Chipped Sapphire) onto a craft mat, spritz the bajeebers out of them, and then smooshing some watercolor paper onto it, making sure that the whole panel is covered with ink.  I let it dry, and then die cut it with the Falling Stars Die from Simon Says Stamp.  Once I attached the sentiment panel, I die cut both panels with one of the Stitched Rectangles from Lawn Fawn.  The whole card was assembled with foam tape – BOOM!  LOL

The sentiment panel was die cut using the cloud border from Mama Elephant, and the sentiment is from an amazing stamp set by WPlus9 Designs.  I’ve listed all the products I used below, if you’re interested.

We’d love for you all to play along with us!  You can click on through to the Runway Inspired Challenge Blog for all the deets of the challenge, as well as the link up tool for you to link up YOUR take on the challenge!!  The challenge is being sponsored by Ellen Hutson LLC (who just happens to be having a GINORMOUS sale in her store TODAY ONLY (March 17th) – 17% OFF all products in stock in honor of St. Patrick’s Day!), and they are offering up a very generous prize for the winner!  So I don’t know what you all are waiting for – get on over there and play!

That’s it for me today, friends!!  I’ll be spending the day in my craft room trying to get some stuff caught up.  I’m struggling of late with a bit of Vertigo, so I’m hoping that the room will stop spinning enough to let me get some work done1  Ha!!  Thanks so much for stopping by – I sure do appreciate it!
