Hello and welcome! I am so pleased that you popped by today to see my latest project.

Rob (my darling husband of almost 36 years) and I have been chatting about taking a few weeks, later in the year, to go on a driving holiday through New South Wales and Victoria. It will be our ‘staycation’ for 2021. Inspired by this thought of being able to enjoy some travel, I knew that it was time to use the new Sweet Farewell Stamp Set.

I started by randomly stamping the suitcase and camera images,onto a piece of Basic White cardstock, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Then I chose a variety of Stampin’ Blends to colour the images – Balmy Blue, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Gree, Night of Navy, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate.

This stamped and coloured layer was adhered to a Night of Navy card base. I stamped the sentiments, in Night of Navy, before using one of the new Tailor Made Tags dies to cut each of them. Lengths of (soon to retire) Night of Navy and White Twine were tied through the holes of each tag. I overlapped them, as shown, before using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up on the card front. The lengths of twine from each tag were then tied in a knot and trimmed.

I added some of the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a touch of shiny bling. If you have been looking at my different projects long enough you will know that I typically finish my cards by stamping an image onto the card insert and envelope. For this card, the camera was perfect for this final step.

As I mentioned before – I used quite a few Stampin’ Blends for this card. There is nothing more soothing than time spent colouring.

How do you like my new background? I have discovered a very clever app that removes the background from my photos and then I can add in one of the images the app includes – like this textured concrete image. It is so quick and easy to use.

Who else has travel plans underway? Where are you headed off to? I may need to repeat this stamping and make a travel planner for later in the year.

Happy stamping.

Hello everyone! I am so pleased that each of you have popped by for today’s project.

Today I’m sharing my project for this week’s Global Design Project theme challenge – #GDP296. I am actually a few days earlier than I would normally be. I am trying to schedule some posts in advance because my sister is coming to visit for a few days. I am looking forward to seeing her and sharing time together (but, this means that I need to convert my crafting area into the visitor’s bedroom).

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

Our brief to CASE a project is that we can take what we like from the design and make it our own. It might be the stamp set – the colors, the layout, the theme, the images – whatever we like that has inspired us to make a card of yur own.

Here is the project this week that we was CASEing this week:

For my project, I have chosen to copy the general layout components – a strip of pieced elements down the left hand side, direct stamping onto the main area of the card front, a stamped sentiment and some embellishments.

I used the Elegantly Said Bunde for my GDP inspired project. Using my Stamparatus and Jet Black StazOn, I was able to stamp a strong black image of the largest stamp in the set. I used a piece of gold textured brushed metallic paper from the Gold & Rose 6″x 6″ Metallic Specialty Paper. This stamped piece of gold paper was attached to the right hand side of a Basic Black card base.

I punched three Elegant Tag pieces in the same gold specialty paper and trimmed them down to be used along the left edge of the card. The sentiment was stamped in the same way, using the Stamparatus and Jet Black StazOn, before being trimmed down and popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some gold Metallic Pearls to the card front. Finally, I stamped the same large filigree styled image on the card insert and envelope.

I think will make a very elegant wedding or anniversary card. What do you think?

So, here are the main products I used in this card. I haven’t used the Rose Gold Specialty Paper yet but it does look gorgeous. I’m sure that I will have a project to share with you soon that uses it.

Do you have someone that you would give this card to? Wedding or anniversary?

Happy stampin.

Hello to each of you who are popping by. Thanks for joining me.

Today’s project is all about the Brights Colour Family. I used all of them to stamp my own ‘Designer Series Paper’.

I used the In Symmetry Stamp Set and coordinating punch for this project. I started by stamping the larger images before going back with smaller images to fill in the spaces.

I cut the stamped Basic White cardstock to create the layer for the card front. The sentiment was stamped in Mango Melody and cut using one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. The leaves that are tucked under the sentiment piece were cut using the Symmetrical Stems Punch.

The sentiment and leaves were popped up on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The black bow was tied using some of the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack. To finish the card front, I added three Matt Black Dots. I also stamped the largest image on the card insert and envelope.

I have been enjoying adding an image of some of the products used for each project in recent posts. Let me know if you like seeing them – are they helpful?

So, who do you need to send a thank you card to? Would they like a bold and bright card like this one?

I hope you try using some of your different stamp sets to create your own DSP.

Happy stamping.
