When I saw this week’s Global Design Project Challenge I knew immediately which products I would use.

This week it is a CASEing the card challenge. The card is from GPD German team member Madeleine Mrotzek. It is a such a gorgeous card with an interesting layout.

The idea behind a CASE challenge is that you can take what you like from the design of someone else’s project and make it your own. It might be the stamp set – the colors, the layout, the theme, the images – whatever you like that has inspired you to make a card of your own.

For my project I used a similar layout but a mirror image of it. I also wanted to add colour and die cutting to those corners and keep a floral focus.

For the cut corners I used the Poppy Moments Dies and cut away the multiple poppy shapes.

Then I water coloured two pieces of Shimmery White card. One was adhered with the die cut layer over it. The second piece was used to cut the poppy overlays. The colouring was deliberately uneven in appearance.

Using some of the Poppy Parade ink and a Water Painter I flicked the die cut layer and some extra Basic White card to achieve the speckled effect.

The speckled flower bases were cut using the Poppy Moments Dies, as were the water coloured poppy overlays. I also cut some Garden Green water coloured leaves and Basic Black filament stamens. The stamens had Clear Wink of Stellar brushed across them and the leaves were popped in under the assembled flowers.

The greeting is from the Heartfelt Wishes Stamp Set and was stamped in Poppy Parade before being trimmed down as you can see. Two small pieces of Black & White Gingham Ribbon were tucked under the ‘sending’ layer.

The poppy outline image was stamped on the card insert and envelope.

The last step for this card was to add some Matte Black Dots to the front of the card.

I am so pleased with the way this card looks and am looking forward to sharing it on the Global Design Project web page. Make sure that pop over and see what projects the team made CASEing Madeleine’s card. Over the next week you can also see what other card makers share.

Make sure you leave me a comment to tell me what you think of my CASE.

Until next time, happy stamping.

Saturday was World Card Making Day and I spent some time making Christmas cards with a friend. They were great simple cards featuring the Tidings of Christmas 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalogue.

Each card has the same layout and greeting just different combinations of the paper and ink colours.

There are six different cards in total. Each card uses one sheet of paper and shows both designs. This is then repeated on the card insert and envelope.

Each card also has three Clear Epoxy Essentials that have been coloured using a coordinating Stampin’ Blend.

Here are the other five cards!

What do you think of these super simple Christmas card?

I made a gift box and six 3″x 3″ gift cards during my Facebook Live this week.

This project features the Gingerbread & Peppermint Suite.

This simple lidded gift box has a Cinnamon Cider base and a ‘iced gingerbread’ Designer Series Paper lid. The sample gift I made was too small to hold the small square envelopes that fit the 3″x 3″ gift cards.

Not to waster this smaller gift box, I’m going to find some Christmas gingerbread treats to pop inside.

The gingerbread snowflake, cut from some of the DSP, also has a second snowflake cut from Cinnamon Cider adhered on the back. This was perfect for stamping ‘to’ and ‘from’.

Untie the bow and remove the lid to find six unique Christmas gift cards inside.

These are cards made for this gift box. One is a shaker card that has the Gingerbread & Peppermint Acrylic Shapes inside.

FOr the greetings I used Frosted Gingerbread, Be Jolly and Delivering Cheer Stamp Sets.

After my Facebook Live I decided to make a second gift box using some different paper from the Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP.

Three of the cards in this box are the same as the first box but the other three are some different.

I am looking forward to gifting these boxes before Christmas so the recipients can use the gift cards on their gifts.

This collection of products, from the Gingerbread & Peppermint Suite, is amazing to play with. Over the last week have made lots of projects using this Suite. I hope that you have enjoyed them all.

Until next time, happy stamping.
