There's so much happening during the month of October! I decided that I would do a catch-all post with all the details for you - so here's a breakdown of everything that you need to know.

Secondly, you can currently save up to 30% on Kits Collection sets; this 3 day sale finishes at 11pm this evening, so if you're quick you've still time to grab some - and remember they make great Christmas gifts.

Today it's Sunday and time for this week's new challenge over at The Paper Players! It's the turn of the fabulous Claire to host this week and she has a fun theme challenge for us to work with:

Halloween costumes - hmmm. This week's challenge really was just that; I don't have any current stamp sets or retired ones featuring Halloween costumes, so it was time to get creative! I took my inspiration from the photo in the middle of the top row on our challenge badge this week - a dog dressed as a ghost and grabbed the 'Long Time No See' stamp set to see if I could create something similar. Take a look at what I came up with:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

I used both the llama and the sausage dog (reverse stamping one so that he faced in the opposite direction) and decided to use their striped clothes to dress each animal in his own Halloween costume. Can you guess what they all are? I added a hat and spectacles and with the red and white sweater, the llama is dressed as Wally/Waldo of 'Where's Wally?' fame. The sausage dogs are a bumble bee (complete with deely bopper antennae although missing his wings - a post photo oversight) and a bank robber (complete with eye mask) respectively. I showed each of them peeking through the diecut letters of the word BOO! and added some stamped images from the retired 'Spooky Fun' stamp set to add to the Halloween feel. Aren't these two cute?

So what do you think? Did I manage to mee the challenge brief this week? I'm looking forward to seeing what you make for our gallery this week.

Enjoy your day; yesterday was the DH's birthday and we travelled across country to visit the James Junior and take him out for lunch, which was fun. Today we are out Nordic walking; we were supposed to be paddle boarding to the Burrito Boat restaurant again, but Storm Amy put paid to that! I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!

Today I'm sharing my design team card for our new challenge over at As you See It where it's time for a seasonal 'fill in the blank' challenge from Deborah:

I embraced the autumnal colours over at Color Hues and the sketch at Atlantic Hearts (I rotated through 180 degrees as I wanted my sentiment to fit between the flowers at that point as I thought it balanced better - hope that's ok) as my card features one of my favourite things about autumn/fall: sunflowers! Take a look at my card:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

3D Embossed Sunflowers - Today's card features front-and-centre the Sunflowers 3D embossing folder. I have a love-hate relationship with embossing folders, often loving the way that others using them but struggling to incorporate them naturally into my own designs. So I love it when an embossing folder can stand on its own - it makes things much easier! And the Sunflowers 3D embossing folder definitely does that! It's a huge folder, that can emboss two whole cardfronts in one go if you choose and the design is beautiful, both embossed and debossed (today's card features the debossed side of the design).

Autumn Beauty Colours - You may think of sunflowers as a summer flower, and you'd be right - but it is one of those blooms that transitions through to autumn/fall and in fact there is a variety of sunflower called 'Autumn Beauty' that has the most amazing yellow and rust coloured petals - just the look I was trying to capture in my card today. I experimented with lots of colour combinations, cardstocks and techniques, before settling on Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze inks, applied with sponge daubers to the petals and leaves/stems of my sunflowers on the debossed side of a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock (working on white didn't give the same yellow hue that I wanted). I then dragged a Cajun Craze inkpad across the whole of the cardfront to fill the gaps with solid colour:

I can't tell you how pretty this looks in real life - the photos really don't do it justice. 

Words For The Season - I added a thin border and my diecut sentiment in Early Espresso as I needed something to stand out against the bold colours of the sunflowers, featuring a stacked sentiment from the new Words For The Season bundle and paired it with this sentiment from the stamp set of the same name on the inside:

This is a great sentiment bundle that is useful for lots of different occasions and has lots of wording that works nicely inside cards too.

I am not generally one to go in for messy ink techniques, but I absolutely love the finished card - those sunflowers really encapsulate fall for me.

Today I'm sharing a card that was inspired by the gorgeous mix of terracotta and blues over at The Color Throwdown and the current sketch layout over at CAS on Friday: 

I thought those colours would be perfect to break out an Online Exclusive set I've had a little while but not yet broken the seal on; perfect for a sausage dog, don't you think? Take a look at what I came up with:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

OK, so how cute is the sausage dog in the 'Long Time, No See' stamp set?! The llama too, for that matter! So many fun creative possibilities with this set. I did get more creative than you might have expected with the CAS on Friday sketch, but bear with me; if you turn the sketch through 90 degrees, add a piece of Timeless Plaid paper to ground my sweet sweater-wearing pup, then the dog itself is the narrower horizontal element. It works, right? I coloured him with my Stampin' Blends, adding my punny sentiment in the same line to keep my card clean and simple:

Of course the front of that cute pup must be somewhere ... cue inside:

And voila - a clean and simple belated birthday card that is so cute it's sure to go some way to making up for its tardiness as far as the recipient is concerned!

Today it's Sunday and time for this week's new challenge over at The Paper Players! It's the turn of the fabulous Stef to host this week and she has my favourite, a sketch challenge for us to work with:

This is such a great sketch with so many creative options! Go simple, go layered and use any shape you like as a central focal point. I stuck with the circle, but decided to go big on the layering and create with some pretty florals that I had yet to break out of the packaging - time to put paid to that so take a look at what I came up with:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

Floral Charm - Today's card is all about the Floral Charm Suite, one of the Online Exclusive Suites available in the online store. The beautiful Floral Charm designer series paper is full of bright colours and fabulous watercolour-style floral patterns and I chose the pink and brown patterned piece as the inspiration and basis for the colour scheme for my card. I don't usually feature a whole sheet with such a bold pattern as a background, but I decided today was a 'more is more' card and went with it!

Charming Day - I used a diecut circle for the central shape, stamped with a simple sentiment from the 'Charming Day' bundle from the suite, then added a combination of diecut leaves and a stamped and diecut floral accent that I coloured with my Stampin' Blends. I stamped my image in Early Espresso onto Basic Beige cardstock before colouring; this did cause the colours to bleed more than they would have if I'd stamped onto Basic White, however I wanted my image to be more in keeping with the DSP and to have a more vintage feel, so I didn't mind so much. You can see what I mean when you look at the close up below:

I even added a rather showy Crumb Cake ribbon bow, which I'm sure I'll regret when it comes to posting this card but I felt like it didn't look as out of place as it usually would on my card, so I'm sure I'll work something out!

Finishing Touches - I stamped a single flower on the flap of the envelope and the same floral cluster inside to complete my card; I don't always make time for these details, but I think these finishing touches ae what sometimes set a hand finished card apart, don't you?

I made this card for someone I haven't seen in a while who I know will appreciate the extra detail, so I can't wait to pop it in the post and hopefully brighten her day!

Enjoy your day; it has turned decidedly cold and grey here in the UK these last few days, so today I am going to make a fruit crumble - a sure sign that autumn has made itself known! The only question is whether to fill it with rhubarb or apples, both of which have been harvested this week. I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!

Today I'm sharing a card using Narelle's layout over at Freshly Made Sketches this week:

I love things in threes so I knew I would have to play along with this sketch. I had so many ideas for this sketch but in the end I went super simple - take a look:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

I used my retired Stitched rectangle dies to cut two rectangles of note patterned paper from the Turtle-y Cute designer series paper, then a third one from Basic White, to which I added my tongue-in-cheek sentiment (from the retired 'Music From The Heart ' stamp set), then added a fussy cut accordion-playing turtle as my focal point:

And that's all there is to it! I considered adding some extra embellishments, but honestly didn't think it needed it - a simple card that was ready in a jiffy! I am using a lot of notecards lately since the youngest of the James Juniors has left for university. Whilst he generally prefers a video chat, usually because he is after some cooking or laundry advice, I like to send him little notes and care packages just to let him know he's in my thoughts and these fun turtles always raise a smile.

Today I'm sharing my design team card for our new challenge over at As you See It where it's time for a colour challenge chosen by me:

I chose this inspiration photo because it contained three of this year's new in-colours. I considered creating a similar night sky, but then decided to go in a completely different direction and actually create some off-the-wall florals using this week's Atlantic Hearts Challenge layout. I'm also playing at Festive Friday (I chose blue, ribbon and patterned paper) - take a look:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

I've been wanting to use this background paper from the Florals In Bloom set for ages and since it features two of this week's colours, it as the perfect choice. I stamped the flower stems in Secret Sea and diecut my trio of Timid Tiger flowers using the Pretty Florals dies and mounted them on a Cloud Cover rectangle cut with a Nested Essentials Die:

I didn't have any ribbon that matched so used a clever trick to remedy that - I coloured some white linen ribbon with a Secret Sea Blends marker and hey presto - matching ribbon!. A simple stamped 'hello' and a trio of sparkly enamel dots in Pumpkin Pie complete my card.

It's Tuesday and time for a new challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. Nancy is hosting this month and our second challenge is a colour challenge: 

These colours have a wintry/autumnal feel and for my card today I decided to try them on a Christmas card using a new set called 'Joyful Tidings' - take a look:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

This stamp set contains two wreath images and some lovely sentiments - great for clean and simple Christmas cards. I stamped my wreath in Secret Sea, which might seem an odd choice, but some pines/firs have a distinctly blue tone, so I thought I'd give it a go! I coloured the pine cones in Pecan Pie, then used Mossy Meadow light and dark Blends markers for the remaining greenery and the citrus fruit - I used my colour lifter to create a much paler green, to give the impression of limes:

I added a few white dots to the berries with a white gel pen and added a couple of Mossy Meadow coloured brass enamel dots and simple sentiment to complete my card. 

This is not a colour combo I would ordinarily choose, and especially not for a Christmas card, but I actually like the finished effect - I guess that's why a challenge is just that, right?

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

You can see all of my 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any.

We use Stampin' Up! colour names for reference, but you are welcome to use any other companies' products as long as you match the challenge colours as closely as possible.

Enjoy your day and I'll be back later in the week with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!

Today it's Sunday and time for this week's new challenge over at The Paper Players! It's the turn of the fabulous LeAnne to host this week and she has a fresh colour challenge for us to work with:

Ann's trio of chosen colours is so fresh and pretty; they pulled me right back to spring/summer and some pastel florals, using this week's TGIF Challenges sketch for my layout - take a look:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

I diecut a trio of flowers using the Delightful Wishes Dies and used one of my favourite tricks to create a variation of shades by colouring the cardstock with my Stampin' Blends markers. You could of course use two-tone cardstock for a quicker result, but by using markers you can get 3 different shades. I layered my flowers onto a trio of squares cut with my Stylish Shapes Dies: two squares were cut from Thoughtful Journey DSP (which I also used for the matting layer) and the central one which I stamped onto Lost Lagoon cardstock with one of the Elements of Text stamps for a tone-on-tone effect. There is a ton of detail in this small section of the card:

A simple sentiment from the same set and a tiny bee trinket complete my card.

I actually have a second card to share today too; these colours reminded me of some pretty floral paper I had in my retired stash that I thought I could use up in a quick card using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge layout this week:

Patchwork strip layouts like this are so great for using up scraps. The floral paper features Lost Lagoon and the retired colours Pistachio Pudding and So Saffron, so I grabbed some co-ordinating papers and made this fun 'use it up' card:

 I just added lots of 2cm strips to a panel of cardstock, then trimmed to fit my cardbase, adding a banner greeting from 'Impressions Abloom' and embellished with a couple of enamel dots and a linen bow:

Pretty, right? Super quick and I used up more of my retired papers, so win-win!

Today it's Sunday and time for this week's new challenge over at The Paper Players! It's the turn of the fabulous Ann to host this week and she has a fun theme challenge for us to work with:

Food and drink - I sense that the gallery is going to have us drooling this week! I don't have much in the way of food-related supplies currently - so I headed to one of my favourites, the Celebratory Sips designer series paper with my paper snips for some fussy cutting! This is what I came up with:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

Today's card was all about that designer paper - and those refreshing looking drinks! I fussy cut a whole bunch of full size glasses and layered them onto my card. I had to go slimline, to fit them all in! Some simple layering with one of the glass patterns in the pack providing some border detail and a diecut sentiment courtesy of my retired Cheers Die:

A scattering of sparkly gems completed the front of my card. I couldn't resist adding a few extra offcuts to the inside for a little extra decoration too: 

That's all there is to it!
