It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! For each Thursday in July, we pick a different sample from Stampin’ Up’s! Annual Catalog to use as our inspiration. We are not copying the card but using it to inspire our creation…maybe we use the same set or the colors or the layout or some combination of all the above…it is fun seeing where the inspiration piece will take each of the designers! Here’s this week’s inspiration:

TWISTED IN TIME
I’m SO sad that this Twisted in Time bundle is on the Last Chance List…it really is a fun set to work with! Grab it now before it is gone (but make sure to purchase the stamps and dies separately…you’ll save more than the bundled price!)

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 1 x 4 strip of green striped Floral Impressions DSP was cut with a flag end and added at the top left.
- A 3 x 5 piece of Basic White cardstock is stamped by inking the Size B block with Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive, and Mossy Meadow Inks, spritzing them with water before stamping them staggered on the paper.
- The Twisted in Time tree is stamped with Early Espresso Ink in the lower right corner. The panel was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Linen Thread is tied with a large loop bow and added to the upper left corner with a Mini Glue Dot.
- The greeting was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on 1 x 2 piece of Basic White cardstock and the end flag cut. It was added over the bow with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive Backed Dots were added in the background around the greeting.

I used the layout of the challenge card but changed out the colors and the images! I love how it turned out! Check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
