Welcome! At Inspired By, we believe creativity can spark from the simplest things—a cozy photo, a fun sketch, or a seasonal theme. Each week we share a fresh inspiration image and a coordinating sketch to get your ideas flowing. Whether you’re into cardmaking, scrapbooking, mixed media, or any type of project, you’re invited to interpret the challenge your way. There’s no right or wrong—just inspiration and creativity. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Current Challenge

Fall Leaves is the theme this week! I took my inspiration from the theme and the wreath in the inspiration photo.

To create the leaves, I used various ink smooshed pieces from my stash, stamped them with different background stamps, and embossed them with fine gold embossing powder. Next, I die cut leaves using a couple of different Spellbinders club kits, and then arranged them into a wreath.

Next, I hot foiled the “Thankful, Grateful, Blessed” sentiment directly onto textured beige cardstock.

This was a fun project that came together quickly. I think fall cards are my favorite to create.

We hope you’re inspired to join us this week! ~MarDi
