Good Morning everyone and welcome to another
My Creative Time Designers Challenge Thursday!
For today's challenge we have 2 inspiration pictures for you. A gorgeous color combo/photo inspiration as well as a fun sketch!
So here is my set....lets take a closer look and I will tell you how I made each project :)
First up is my card based on the sketch.
I started with a brown cardstock base and added a layer of designer paper die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies (one of my all time FAVORITE new dies!) Next I added 3 strips of brown cardstock and wrapped each strip with some cream colored hemp cording that I picked up in the dollar bin at Target. Moving onto the focal point of my card, I die cut 3 of the stitched eggs from the Hello Spring Stamp Set to make my pumpkin. I know you have seen alot of the DT girls do this...Such a FUN way to make another pumpkin using your MCT dies. I popped the pumpkin up onto an altered Stitched Journal Die. All I did to alter that, was cut the shape down alittle to fit better onto the card mat. I did add a
Stitched Decorative Banner for the pumpkin stem and also die cut 3 more for the side banner pieces....those also altered to fit onto my card. I finished my card by adding 3 orange enamel dots, just to add a pop of additional color!
Next moving onto my coffee mug......
I have been playing with vinyl a lot lately and saw something similar to this on Pinterest. I picked up the coffee mug at the Dollar Tree and using my cameo I cut out the pumpkin face with some black vinyl. I placed it onto the front of the mug and then filled it with some yummy caramel Hersey kisses. I had to make a cute tag to tie the bag together and I used the frame dies from the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More set. I used matching designer paper that I used for my card and stamped the sentiment using the Fright Night stamp set.
A few more enamel dots and a bow with the cream colored hemp cording and my project was completed!

Ok, You have flippin' got into my head and are freaking me out. I was planning on trying these. (to get more comfortable working with vinyl) I was just talking to my DH who I am ashamed to say has more experience then I do working with it that I wanted him to help me with this before he leaves for the year.
