TIME FOR A SUNDAY SHARE

Today I want to share my project for this week’s Global Design Project. This week it is a theme challege.

If you click on the image below, you will go to the GDP site and you can see all the amazing projects created by the design crew and other crafters who are participating.

For my project, I decided to combine the Share a Milkshake and Simply Sparkling Bundles, to make a milkshake shaker card.

I started by cutting out the milkshake glass. This panel worked as a perfect template to stamp the glass filler image onto a second Basic White panel.

I secured a Window Sheet panel behind the die cut layer and then added lengths of Foam Adhesive Sheets to create the shaker space.

For the shaker shimmer, I used the Loose Silver Sequins. After I had added then over the stamped image, I secured the top layer to the base.

The Basic White layers were then adhered to a Poppy Parade card base.

I stamped, coloured and die cut the frothy milkshake top. After stamping and cutting the Granny Apple Green straw, I inserted it into the ‘froth’ and secured it in place with some Tear & Tape.

Stampin’ Dimensionals were attached to the back of the froth and then it was added to the top of the glass.

I stamped, coloured and die cut several strawberries. After painting them with some Clear Wink of Stella, I added them around the base of the glass using Multipurpose Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting, from the Share a Milkshake Stamp Set, was stamped in Poppy Parade. Then it was cut using one of the Autumn Leaves Dies. I also cut two Granny Apple Green layers that were staggered under the greeting layer.

I placed dimensionals under the greeting layers and positioned it on the card front. Then I added an extra strawberry to the greeting layers.

I coloured and trimmed down a length of White Iridescent Ribbon before tying it into a bow. Using silver trim, from the Simply Elegant Trim, I tied a double bow. I used Mini Glue Dots to attach both of these bows just under the straw.

The two extra strawberries were added to the card insert and the back of the envelope.

Finally, I used the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend Pen to colour some of the Loose Silver Sequins. They were attached to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.

I am very happy with this very sweet little card. What do you think?

Tomorrow, I will start the week with a new collection of projects featuring the Beach Day Bundle.

Until the, happy stamping.

COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE #144

I am so pleased that I am back on schedule with my project for this challenge (and the next one!). I have been late for the last few and have even missed a couple.

This challenge is a sweet treat! Chilled layers of tasty ice cream is always a great INKspiration.

With ice creamproviding the inspiration I knew that I had to use the Shake a Milkshake stamp set. I would have used the dies as well but I cannot find them. How is it possible to misplace a full set of dies?

Here is the sweet card I made – five sweet ice cream cups.

Each of the five dessert cups were stamped in Azure Afternoon. These were then cut using one of the Nested Essentials Dies.

Then I stamped the Bubble Bath, Crushed Curry, Lemon Lolly and Parakeet Party ice cream onto Basic White cardstock. The central ice cream was stamped in Versamark onto Bubble Bath card and heat embossed in white. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the ice cream up and over the dessert cup.

Four of the ice cream panels were adhered directly onto the Bubble Bath matte layer. The Lemon Lolly panel was placed diagonally on the card front, with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it height.

The sentiment was stamped directly on the card front before I added some of the Opaque Ovals embellishments to finish the card.

Now it is time to try and find my missing Milkshake Dies – again!

Until next time, happy stamping.
