Earlier this week I posted a card I made for the Global Design Project Challenge – #GDP312. I was also working on a second card idea that I finished last night.

For my second card I used the Flower Market Die to cut out the gorgeous floral design. Then I placed pieces of Rainbow Glimmer Paper under the cut layer.

Then I cut more of the Rainbow Glimmer Paper from the Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss side of the sheet.

The birthday greeting was stamped using my Stamparatus to ensure a strong and clear image. Then I trimmed and fussy cut the greeting. It was popped up on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the card insert and envelope, I cut a stencil using the Flower Market Die and then I used my Blending Brush to colour them.

The triple bow was made using lengths of Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, white Baker’s Twine and silver Simply Elegant Trim.

The final touch was to add some Artistry Blooms Sequins to the card front.

I am so delighted by the way this card turned out. What do you think? Shimmery and bling enough?

Until next time, happy stamping.

I was having so much fun preparing this project for my Facebook Live that I completely forgot to photgraph and post it. So, I finished the Live this morning and have just taken these photos.

Thanks for popping by to see how cute this gift box is. It is filled with Christmas gift tags. I used the Be Jolly Stamp Set for this project.

The gift box uses Poppy Pararde and Shaded Spruce card, as well as a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Brights 6″x 6″ stack. The box base was cut to 5-3/4″x 4-1/4″ and then scored on all four sides at 1″. The lid was cut to 4-3/4″x 3-1/4″ and scored at ‘a hair’ less than 1/2″.

This Santa image was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured using Stampin’ Blends – Black, Cinnamon Cider, Petal Pink and Poppy Parade. Santa was then fussy cut and popped up on the lid using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting, from the Be Jolly Stamp Set, was stamped with Shaded Spruce.

When the lid comes off 12 gift tags are revealed. I used one of the Seasonal Labels Dies to make this tag.

There are four different tags – two Santas, a Christmas tree and Santa’s sleigh. These were all coloured using Stampin’ Blends before being fussy cut. Santa’s beards have Clear Wink of Stella brushed across them.

Some of them have been embossed using the snowflakes Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. The others were stamped with ‘be jolly’ using the Stamparatus to hinge-step stamp the greeting evenly along the tag.

Each coloured tag has a white tag adhered to its back. This piece was stamped with ‘to’ and ‘from’.

Now all I need to do is decide who to give this gift box of tags to.

Until next time, happy stamping.

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.
