mmm...Stampin' Time

I was delighted to check the Global Design Project website last night and discovered that my card design was a WINNER!

If you look at the GDP Design Team members, you will begin to understand why I am so thrilled to have my card design chosen as a winner this week. These women are totally amazing Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators and card designers. Many of them are, or have been, Artisan Team members. This is such a creative and impressive group of paper crafters.

This is the card I ‘entered’.

I do not often make predominently white cards but I am enjoying working outside my comfort zone. The little hint of Early Espresso popping out from behind the Timber 3D embossed and distressed layer of Basic White provides a subtle colour element.

Then. of course, there is the trimmed back circle of Tasteful Textile embossed Basic White circle that hosts the totally cute trees from the Christmas Tree Dies.

It was a total delight having my card chosen, from this broad array of card makers’ ‘entries’. as one of this week’s winners.

Until next time, happy stamping.

The Back on Your Feet Stamp Set is one of the sets that is on my list of unused products that I need to make sure I use before the end of the year, and before the new Mini Catalogue is released.

This set is so cute and the images would cheer anyone who is feeling unwell or injured.

I started by choosing the colours for the card base and layers. The top layer, in Smoky Slate, has texture added by using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. All these layers were thenadhered together and added to the card base.

The image of this poor injured sloth is cute yet sad. I stamped it and then coloured it using Stampin’ Blends. Then it was cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. When the ink was dry, I brushed some Clear Wink of Stella over the image.

The ‘ouch’ was stamped and trimmed down to size and the other sentiment were stamped and cut using the same die.

Before adding these Basic White layers to the card front, I took one of the Paper Lattice pieces and colout it using the Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blend. The lattice was glued in place and Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back of the white panels to pop them up.

The sloth was stamped on the envelope and the ‘ouch’ stamped inside the card.

The final touch was to add some Matte Black Dots to the front of the card.

I was so pleased with the result of colouring the lattice. There are so many possibilities for the lattice.

I have two more cards using this stamp set to share with you later in the week.

Until next time, happy stamping.

The All for Baby Bundle is so cute!

The ‘Hello, Little One’ greeting is perfect for a card to welcome a newborn.

For this card I used the same Brights colours as I used for yesterday’s card.

The Brights 6″x 6″ DSP was perfect for the base layer on the Basic White card base, as well as two of the jumpsuits.

The other three jumpsuits were stamped and die cut.

I stamped the clothesline image in Soft Suede on a Basic White layer. The two DSP jumpsuits were glued straight onto the stamped layer and the stamped and die cut jumpsuits were popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

After placing some Adhesive Sheet to a piece of Soft Suede card, I cut out 10 of the pegs to finish the image.

The greeting was stamped in Daffodil Delight and trimmed down to size before dimensionals were added to the back.

I stamped the bib on the inside of the card and envelope.

I really prefer bright colours, rather than pastel, for baby cards. What do you prefer?

Phew – that’s one more stamp set and dies that I have made sure I have used before the end of the year. I set myself the goal of using all the stamp sets I have, at least once, before the end of the year. I only have seven more to focus on and tomorrow I will share the first of three Back on Your Feet Stamp Set projects that I have made.

Until then happy stamping.
