Blogger's Challenge #127: Alter It!

This was supposed to be my inspiration for my Blogger's Challenge this week: I had it all figured out. I got out my Pop-Up Christmas tree die out and cut away using my Big Shot. I even put the tallest piece in before I made the tree...it fit. Until, I finished the tree. I forgot about the base!

So, I put my tree into this container I bought a year or two ago for something at school. I have NO idea what to call this...other than simply "Cute Christmas Decoration!"


Be sure to check out what the other Blogger Challenge players altered this week! I'm going to right away...(I always wait to see theirs until I finish mine!!! I don't want to accidently copy them!) Happy day..remember to check out my website for the Stampin' Up! Holiday Extravaganza Sale!!!!! www.lisabohler.stampinup.net

Blogger's Challenge #126: Giving Thanks!

I didn't make a traditional fall-looking card this week. I was inspired by this card by Debbie Olson. I put my own spin on it for a Thank You card and came up with this:



I began with the Damask image from Friends 24-7 and Very Vanilla Craft Ink. Then, I ran it through my Big Shot and added the Pattern texture. I highlighted the texture with my Elegant Eggplant ink pad. Lots of distressing later plus adding ribbon and my background was complete!

Be sure to be thankful this week and also I would thank you to check out what the other BC players came up with!

Blogger's Challenge #125 Happy Fall Y'all!


Our challenge for this week was to create a fall card with the theme, Happy Fall Y'all! I brought out a stamp set from the dormant list (available to purchase but not shown in any catalog) called Branch Out. I just had to have this set last year and I'm so glad I got it!

I stamped the tree in Chocolate Chip on Naturals Ivory cardstock. Then using the leaf stamp from the set, I used Old Olive, Ruby Red, Really Rust, More Mustard and Pumpkin Pie to add the fall leaves on the trees and the ground.

I saw this layout on a recent blog but didn't keep who had done the layout originally so please let me know if you do!!! I used More Mustard, Ruby Red and Pumpkin Pie strips of cardstock to layer the border on the side. Adds lots of texture!

Please make your own fall card today and check out what the other BC members "fell" for this week!

Blogger's Challenge #124: Technique Time!



Our challenge today was to feature a technique. I love to heat emboss and this is a fun way to do that!

First, decide on your background image. I used Bella Toile background stamp in Dusty Durango. I allowed that to dry and then used my embossing buddy over it. Then, using a Versamark pad and Clear Embossing powder, I stamped and embossed the Medallion stamp right over the first image. This allows you to "protect" parts of the background image with another image. Then, I sponged all over the Medallion image with Soft Suede and a Sponge Dauber.

Try your hand at this technique and also check out what techniques the other Blogger's Challenge members were trying out this week!
