Simple Z-Fold

 

I'm playing along with the new Tic Tac Toe challenge where I included the far right vertical row of fun fold, kraft cardstock and die cuts from the challenge board created by Betty. I decided to make a fun and easy Z-fold card using measurements found on this YouTube video. I went with an older and seldom used set from the September 2023 Surprise Box from Papertrey Ink. 

 

STAMPS: September 2023 Surprise Box (PTI).

INK: Pure Poppy, New Leaf, Simply Chartreuse, Pinefeather, Classic Kraft, Dark Chocolate (PTI).

PAPER: 12x12 kraft patterned paper & Gumball Green (long retired from Stampin' Up); Stamper's Select White (PTI).

DIES: Into the Blooms: Swag (PTI); Rounded Banner STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).

WAW Zephaniah 3:17

Hello friends! We have a new Word Art Wednesday challenge with the verse from Zephaniah 3:17 for our inspiration. I printed it at 65% then die cut using the fancy Extravagant Floral Frames die by Papertrey Ink. The beautiful patterned paper is from a favorite 6x6" pad called Ink Drops - Candy and is sold by Stamp Simply who is our generous sponsor this month. If you play along with us, you have a chance to win a $25 gift card from Stamp Simply!

I embellished with some color blended florals from PTI's Into the Blooms: Wreath set and rounded the corners.

Hope to see you in the gallery!  ~Wanda

Buckeye Leaf

 

There's a great new challenge on the Inspired By challenge blog with a theme of panels. My leftover pile came to the rescue with the strips over acetate panel and the water colored background already made ages ago! I placed foam tape behind the strips to make them seem they are floating. The leaf was die cut and also popped up with foam tape.  Easy peasy!

 

 

STAMPS: Sentiment Suite: Thinking of You (The Greetery).

DIES: Jumbo Curiosity: Buckeye Leaf (The Greetery).

Freshly Made Sketches

 

Playing along with the new Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. I am adding another pair of the same design to my Christmas stash which is currently at #30. I love getting them done earlier this year! I tweaked the sketch a bit by adding the horizontal striped border.     

Initially, I didn't use a textured background, but changed my mind and used this awesome 3D embossing folder by Altenew. Gotta love some added texture!

STAMPS: Merry Greetings Builder Stamps (Kristina Werner for Concord & 9th.

INK: Versamark.

PAPER: Stamper's Select White, Pure Poppy; Metallic gold; Red glitter paper; two shades of green from my scrap pile.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge

I love playing along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge and this week, I went with the diagonal row of stencil, free and embossing. This berry background stencil collection by Kristina Werner for Concord & 9th was unused, so it was time to remedy that! I decided to go with pink berries instead of red so it's a more non-traditional Christmas color palette.

 

I layered up the gift bow dies and then matched the silver "ribbon" by silver embossing the "merry" part of the sentiment. Kristina's Merry Christmas Builder stamps and dies are highly recommended because you have endless options for a large variety of sentiments!

STAMPS: Merry Christmas Builder (Kristina Werner for Concord & 9th).

INK: Lemon Tart, Limeade Ice, New Leaf, Raspberry Fizz (Papertrey Ink); Versamark.

PAPER: Bristol Smooth Surface; Stamper's Select White, Raspberry Fizz, New Leaf (PTI); Metallic Silver (My Favorite Things).

DIES: Merry Christmas builder, Gift Bows (Kristina Werner for Concord & 9th).

OTHER: Berries & Leaves stencils (Kristina Werner for Concord & 9th). 

 

It's turned much colder here in VA...time to layer up and finally turn the heat on. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!  ~Wanda
