mmm...Stampin' Time

Hello and thanks for popping by to check out today’s post.

For a while now I have been taking part in a variety of blog hops and challenges to keep me on my card making toes.

This is my project for this week’s Global Design Project challenge. This week the challenge involves CASEing one of the GDP team member’s card.

GDP reminds those of us who take part that when we CASE a project we can take what we like from the design and make it our own. It might be the stamp set – the colors, the layout, the theme, the images – whatever we like that has inspired us to make a card of our own.

For my card CASE, I went with the layout.

I decided to use the Celebrate with Flowers Stamp Set for this project. It is the first time that I have used it.

Having chosen the main stamp set, I went on to choose the colours for the card – Evening Evergreen, Pale Papaya, Smoky Slate and Soft Succulent.

I stamped the three images several times across the piece of Basic White cardstock. Then I coloured each of them using the coordinatiing Stampin’ Blends.

The stamped panel was then adhered to a base layer of Evening Evergreen cardstock.

The scalloped die from the Penned Flowers Dies was used to create the base layer for the greeting. I stamped ‘friend’ from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set onto a piece of Basic White card and then cut a slightly wider piece of Soft Succulent card.

The Pale Papaya layer was adhered diectly on to the card base before the next two layers were each popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

‘Hello’ was stamped and fussy cut before adding it to the greeting banner.

I embellished this card by stamping, colouring and fussy cutting the smaller flower and popping them up using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The final step was the stamp and colour the dragonfly/butterfly image on the inside of the card and the envelope.

It still surprises me that I can occasionally find a stamp set on my shelf that I haven’t used. Are you the same?

I’m on a mission to make sure that I have no unused stamp sets before the next catalogue goes live!

Until next time, happy stamping.

Hello! Today’s post is a little later than planned but it’s here and I’m pleased you have popped by.

Yesterday was Father’s Day here in Australia. About an hour before our daughters arrived to join us for lunch, there was an 11th hour request for a card for their dad.

So here it is!

So this is what a last minute card can look like. I used Mossy Meadow and Night of Navy cardstock, as well as Basic White.

A quick card is not a complex card. I decided to add a piece of Paper Lattice to give the card something extra.

I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the goat, from the Way to Goat Stamp Set, before popping ti up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiments are from the Way to Goat and Best Year Stamp Sets. They were stamped and then trimmed. Just like the goat, they were popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Two different goat images were stamped onto the card insert and envelope.

Surprisingly, there are no embellishments on this card.

Did you make any Father’s Day cards this year?

UNtil next time, happy stamping.

Hello and happy Sunday. I’m so pleased that you have popped by.

It’s Father’s Day in Australia today – so happy Father’s Day to the men in your family.

Today I have a Christmas card to share with you.

For this project I have teamed the Merriest Moments Bundle with the Tidings of Christmas 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper. The colours are Basic White, Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen, Sahara Sand and Soft Succulent.

I also used the Seasonal Labels Dies, from the Christmas Season Bundle, to create the layers on the centre front of the card. A length of Evening Evergreen Chevron Weave Ribbon was folded under the Cherry Cobbler panel. I folded a narrow strip of DSP to create a paper ribbon and adhered it over the top die cut panel. The greeting, from the Merriest Moments Stamp Set, was stamped and trimmed.

The poinsettia shaped flowers and leaf were cut with the Merriest Frames Dies. I used the Snowy White and Red Velvet Sheets to cut these elements. The texture of these velvet sheets is lovely and soft.

I added die cut velvet flowers to the card insert and envelope before placing Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the card.

The next time I make this card I will dry emboss the Cherry Cobbler and Soft Succulent panels.

Until next time, happy stamping.
