The latest Time Out Challenge #307 is a special photo challenge from our sponsor Kim Heggins, a former Time Out Design Team Member and owner of Running Stitch Designs. For the past several years, Kim has donated one of her marvelous handmade bags for this special challenge as both the inspiration AND the prize. My card was inspired by sewing and her striped and polka dot fabrics.
I used some of my favorite products from Concord & 9th to make a fabric store interactive card, complete with lots of bolts of fabric that match the awning on the store front, as well as a mannequin wearing a dress made from a fabric on the shelf in the store. This card is A2 size and folds flat to fit in an envelope.
What I used:
- Concord & 9th Pop Up Shopped stamp and die sets
- Pink and Main patterned paper pack, Banner dies
- Gold cardstock
- Acetate
- Altenew Obsidian black ink pad
We are challenged to create something inspired by this bag handmade by Kim Heggins. The enlarged photo will help you to see some detail for your project. How does this photo inspire you? The colors, stripes, polka dots, the shape...? Please let us know in your post how your project was inspired. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
We are joined this challenge by Michele Ferguson of I Card Everyone, and winner of Time Out #302 as Guest Designer. Be sure to check out her amazing blog and Instagram as she is such talented and creative cardmaker. As always, visit our team's blogs to read about our cards and how we were inspired.

Hi Carol. I just had to pop over here to see more of this sweet card. It is a brilliant store front! Such a clever way to use this die set from C&9th. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
Thank you so much Birgit!
Your card is "sew" adorable Carol. Love all the cute elements and striped awning. That sentiment is perfect - love it.
I just love this Carol - so many gorgeous details! The striped awning, the polka dot fabric bolts, the potted plants, the little open sign, the mail slot ... ! Love the name of the shop too! Hugs, Kate!
Holy smokes, Carol... this is heaps of fun and so cute!
I can not even put into words how much I love this card. And how fabulous a take on Kin's bag. And how much I love that (rainbow) paper. I have watched you grow your craft for quite a while, and I am blown away by this beauty. I can't even...
Thanks a million Stephanie!!!!!!!

Wow Carol! You have created the most wonderful little sewing store!!! All those special details really telll a beautiful story! Such a clever take on the photo along with the sewing bag shown! Love everything about it!!
Not only the beautiful stripes, but the idea of a sewing shop! What a great creation!!
You sure do love to work with bits of paper, Carol. The sewing shop is adorable and a great way to use up scraps I would imagine.
Carol, what an ingenious way to be inspired by the bag. I love that you featured a sewing shop. The little dress form with the polka dots made me smile. The gold letter box and the open sign are amazing. Absolutely LOVE it
