Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our There’s No Place Like Home Challenge! Since Pennsylvania literally means “Penn’s Woods”, I wanted to go to the forest for this one.


I started by combining images from a whole bunch of stamp sets, including Butterfly Kisses, Scootin’ By, Porcu-pine for You, You Autumn Know, Scripty Autumn Sentiments, Let’s Go Nuts, You Are Sublime, and I Like You (A Lotl). I stamped the images in Jet Black Ink, colored them with my Copic markers, and trimmed them out with their matching dies.


Then I blended Distress Oxide Inks onto a panel of Bristol Cardstock. Working from the top down, I used Seedless Preserves, Worn Lipstick, Spun Sugar, and Bundled Sage. Then I die cut the Spooky Forest Backdrop out of another panel of Bristol and blended on Bundled Sage for the grass, and Vintage Photo and Gathered Twigs for the trees. I did some splatter detail with the Vintage Photo and added some metallic watercolor splatter on the sky with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.


I added some 1/8” double-sided tape to the back of some of the branches so I could adhere my leaves to the treetops, then popped the Spooky Forest Backdrop over the background with foam tape and glued that to a Kraft card base. I adhered the rest of the images with a mix of foam tape and liquid glue. For the sentiment I stamped the word “hello” on the background, then stamped the word “fall” in Walnut Ink and used the matching die to cut it out. I finished off the card with some Stardust Stickles. I also did some stamping on the inside in Walnut Ink.

If you’d like to watch the whole process of creating this card, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! We hope you’re enjoying our There’s No Place Like Home Challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant inspiration today, Christy!

Samantha’s tropical themed birthday card features Toucan Do It and Hang In There with a Tropical Leaves Backdrop! She included birthday party fun with a cake from Elphie Selfie and balloons from Scootin’ By. She also added lots of amazing color with Rainbow Ever After and Spiffier Speckles papers!

I love the sparkly yellow stars! She used Spring Sparkle cardstock to cut the stars with Starry Skies, then she sprinkled them in the background.

Thank you so much for this wonderful inspiration, Samantha!

It’s the last weekend for the Into the Woods challenge and Mimi has a super fun idea to inspire you! Her interactive whitewater rafting scene is filled with fun and adventure!


Mimi used the Reveal Wheel to add the fun interactive element to her card! She built her scene with stenciled clouds, Stitched Mountain Borders, Forest Border and Stitched Wave Borders. She used animals from Scootin’ By and You Autumn Know. The helmets are from Scootin’ By, the “paddles” are spoons from Baked with Love and the rocks in the river are from Mermaid for You, Ocean Shell-fie and Christmas Fishes. The raft is made using an altered Flamingo Floatie.


Here are Mimi’s step by step instructions:

I die cut 2 large stitched rectangle panels (top/bottom) and die cut a notch on top of each for the reveal wheel.

I masked all the edges of my top panel. I ink blended with distress oxide inks. The clouds were blended with Wild Honey at the top 1/3 of the panel. The rest, I ink blended with Salty Ocean.

I die cut the stitched mountain border, ink blended with Hickory Smoke and the forest border with Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness.

Using a 5 3/8” x 3” piece of vellum, I die cut 4 stitched wave borders, carefully not cutting pass the ends, leaving about 1/4” in tact. I used white paint and brushed streaks to create water waves.

I stamped, colored and die cut all my images. The raft was made from the Flamingo Floatie, trimming off the head/neck and tail.

I placed the vellum on top of my top panel and die cut the arc-shape window (from the Reveal Wheel die set). I put the vellum piece aside and assembled the the reveal wheel mechanism along with the bottom panel. I also die cut 3 circles from the Flamingo Floatie die, glued them together and placed it on my wheel through the exposed arc-window.

I assembled the card by adhering the vellum piece first, then the mountains and the forest border. I glued the critters in the raft and attached it to the circle die on the reveal wheel. I then glued the paddles and the water drops/splatters to the raft. I randomly placed the rocks in between the wave borders. I used a few foam squares to ‘lift’ the bottom wave border up so the raft can move back and forth smoothly. Lastly, I also added some final touches of water waves on the rock with the white paint.

I stamped the ‘turn’ and the sentiment in Jet Black ink to finish the card, adding some sparkle glaze to the water drops/splatter for some interest.

Turn the wheel and watch the critters raft through some whitewater rapids on the river!

Thank you so much for this amazing inspiration, Mimi! Such a great way to close out the Into the Woods samples!
