Hello and thank you being here. I am so pleased that you are popping by to see what my latest project is.

So, my new Friday posts will be a project from the Global Design Project’s weekly challenges.

This week, the challenge is to CASE a card by Krista Frattin, a talented GDP team member from Canada.

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

The tip we are given is that when you CASE a project, you can take what you like from the design 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.

I chose to go with the layout and definitely changed colours, stamp set and dies.

It was time to dust off my NOTHING’S BETTER THAN STAMP SET, LOVE YOU MORE THAN DIES and PAINTED LABELS DIES.

I’m not sure if the RAINBOW GLIMMER PAPER will carry over into the new 2021 – 2022 ANNUAL CATALOGUE, so I definitely want to use it up and I knew that it would be great for this card. Bright, bold and shimmery!

I decided to use the SUBTLES 6″x 6″ DSP – the new designs that will be in the upcoming 2021 – 2022 ANNUAL CATALOGUE. As a demonstrator, I was fortunate enough to order all four colour families and the 2020 -2022 In Colours DSP packs during Sale-a-bration. By using it here on this project, I hope that you will like the pattern well enough to add the new DSP to your collection.

I think that I am going to remove the bow – what do you think? I think it needs to be black or gone.

Happy stamping!

Hello to each you wonderful crafters who pop by regularly to see what I have been ‘up to’. If you are popping by for the first time – thank you!

Today’s card has been made for friends of ours who are now grandparents for the first time. Thank goodness for the TREASURES OF LIFE STAMP SET.

This stamp set is in the 2021 January – June Mini Catalogue and I hope that it carries over to the 2021 – 2022 ANNUAL CATALOGUE.

I stamped the grandmother and grandchild image onto FLUID 100 WATER COLOUR PAPER, using Jet Black Stazon Ink. Then I used my WATER PAINTERS to colour this image using Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Petal Pink, Rococo Rose and Soft Suede. Then, I added some Wink of Stella to the Rococo Rose ‘sweater’.

After stamping and colouring, I used my STITCHED RECTANGLES and STITCHED SHAPES DIES to cut prepare the layers for the card front.

Then I used strips of vellum, card stock and ribbon to create the centre segment of the card.

The sentiment was placed under the stamped image and central layer.

I made a double Linen Thread bow for the card front.

Open the card and this is what you will see, in the first card layer!

The envelope front, and the final card layer, feature the baby hand within the grandmother’s hand image.

The final, inside layer features DSP and the hand in hand image – which was stamped onto Vellum using some Jet Black StazOn’ ink.

Do you have a friend who has recently become a first time grandparent? Do you think they would like to receive this card?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping!

Hello and thank you so much for popping by. I am so pleased that you have dropped by to see what I have been making. If you have popped by before, I am so grateful for you taking the time. If this is your first time you have visited my site, thanks – I hope that you like what you see.

A recent goal has been to make sure that I have made projects from any of the stamp sets that I have bought from the 2021 JANUARY – JUNE MINI CATALOGUE BEFORE I preorder any products from the 2021 – 2022 ANNUAL CATALOGUE. I am so close to achieving this goal!

Today’s project uses the BABY PULL TOYS CARD.

The LAYERING CIRCLES DIES are perfect for this card. I wanted to use them to create focal points for each of the three pull toy images. The first pull toy is this super cute giraffe.

The next pull toy is this very brave lion. I was able to use the circle cut out from the front of the card on the inside card flap. The hearts image stamp looks so cute, stamped in So Saffron.

And, onto the next layer.

Flip the next layer and you will find the elegant elephant pull toy. There are more hearts stamped and another card stock circle.

Lift the final flap and …

… there is lots of white space to write the message you want to share with the parents or grandparents of the new baby.

This is such a cute card to send to someone who has a new baby in the family. The baby pull toys are sooooo cute.

Do you have someone to send this card to?

Happy stamping!
