Hello, friends of Time Out. Welcome back! If you are a newcomer to Time Out Challenges, we extend a very warm welcome to you. We're glad you are here.
We have a new challenge that opens today and runs through April 1. This time it is a Theme challenge:
USE A CLEAR ELEMENT OR ELEMENTS ON YOUR PROJECT.
Think sequins, enamel dots, gemstones, stickers, and nylon thread, to name a few. Also, clear elements like acetate sheets or window plastic can be used on handmade cards to create shaker windows, floating elements, interactive overlays, or full transparent card bases. They add dimension and a modern feel, perfect for highlighting stamped, embossed, or die-cut designs behind a glossy surface. YouTube has many videos on how to use acetate on cards. Here's a wonderful one by Jennifer McGuire in case you are interested: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/52424783146996336/
Challenge #309
Our wonderful sponsor, UNIKO, is generously offering a $25.00 store credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner, who will also get an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.
We are joined by Verena Shapiro of Simple Stamper on Instagram, and winner of Time Out #304 as Guest Designer. Verena is a frequent player at Time Out. She has a wonderful sense of color and design and we are so pleased to have her with us as Guest Designer again. Here is a little bit about Verena's crafting journey in her own words:
"Hi! My name is Verena, and I live in Ottawa, Canada. I originally started paper crafting about 20 years ago, but as a mom of three life got too busy to fully get into it. Now, as I have more time again, I'm fully embracing card challenges as they push me out of my comfort zone and make me look at my stash differently. I tend to lean towards clean and simple cards. Life can be pretty chaotic, and there's just something incredibly calming about clean lines and white space. Thank you everyone at Time Out for the wonderful inspiration you always provide!"
This is Verena's gorgeous Challenge Card. Check out all the details HERE. Do treat yourself to a visit to her Instagram and leave her some love. You can't help but be inspired by her work.
And now for some inspiration from our design team!
