COLOURFUL PUFFINS

Hello and welcome. Thank you for popping by. I’m sure that you will find today’s project lots of fun.

It is Sunday and therefore a Global Design Project challenge. The first Sunday of the month is a Colour Challenge!

I decided to team the Party Puffins Stamp Set with these colours to create a colourful birthday party scene.

I started by stamping the puffins onto pieces of Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness and Bumblebee cardstock. Then they were fussy cut and painted with CLear Wink of Stella.

The birthday cakes were stamped directly onto the Basic White layer and coloured in using Stampin’ Blends and stampin’ Write Markers™. Lots of Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to pop the puffins beside their colourful cakes.

The cake was also stamped on the envelope and card insert, then coloured. The finishing touch was to add some of the 2020 – 2022 In Colour Enamel Dots to the front of the card. The puffins are so bright and sparkly.

This is such a fun card. I’m going to have lots of fun making more cards with these Party Puffins.

Happy stamping.

LOTS OF LEAVES

Hello and welcome! Thanks for popping by for today’s project.

This is one of the cards I made using the Beauty of the Earth Suite. I also used the Forever Flourishing Dies from the Forever Fern Bundle.

All the cards I have made using this suite have the Designer Series Paper as the focus because each of the designs are so lovely. This design reminds me of the Forever Greenery DSP from the 2020 – 2021 Annual Catalogue. So I cut a variety of leaf shapes in vellum, Misty Moonlight and Old Olive. I used mini glue dots to hold all of them together.

Then I used the new Bark 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to pieces of Misty Moonlight and Old Olive cardstock. Lengths of Misty Moonlight Twine, from the Well Suited Twine Combo Pack, and gold trim, from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack were wrapped around the embossed cardstock. The sentiment, from the Forever Fern Stamp Set, was then cut using one of the Tailor Made Tags Dies. I was able to shorten the tag by repositioning the die and ensuring the the small stitches were locked into place. The tag was tied using the twine already on the cardfront. The gold hoop is also from the Forever Greenery Suite.

I added Gilded Gems to the front of the card for a little bling. The splatters of Misty Moonlight on the card insert and envelope were stamped using a stamp from the Forever Fern Stamp Set. These colours are so cool and refreshing.

Happy stamping.

BEAUTY OF THE EARTH

Hello and welcome! I am so pleased that you have popped by for today’s project.

For the next few days I am going to share a number of different cards using the Beauty of the Earth Suite.

The Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper does all the hard work in all the cards I have made. I love the rich, earthy colours in this design. The background design is a forest of water coloured trees in Autumn. The panel, under the greeting, is also one of the designs. There are rows and rows of these trees on the paper.

I cut the vellum trees using the Beautiful Trees Dies. The foliage was coloured using a sponge dauber and the Saddle Brown StazOn ink. Each layer of the tree has some Stampin’ Seal used to hold them together and to attach it to the front of the card. Thenk I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the row of trees panel up for some height. The die cut sentiment, stamp and dies both from this bundle, also had dimensionals added.

The final step was to stamp the tree trunk, in Early Espresso, onto the envelope and card insert. What do you think?

Happy stamping.
