TIME FOR SOME FUN

Hello crafty friends. Welcome to today’s project share. I am so pleased that you’re visiting my post.

I wanted to use my Give It a Whirl Dies again because I’ve only used it once so far. One of my goals for the rest of the year is to work my way through all of my Stampin’ Up!® goodies that I have only used once.

For this project I decided to use the Brew Some Fun Stamp Set and Pattern Play Designer Series Paper.

I wanted to use smaller images and stamp them several times to fill the spaces on the spinning card piece. The tea bag cup, party hats and flowers stamps were the perfect size to do this. After they were stamped I coloured them using Stampin’ Write Markers™. Let’s take a spin and I’ll show you the other two segments.

I used the same die, that cut the viewing space, to cut two pieces of the DSP. These were then posiotined to create the segmented circle.

To assemble the card I added a layer of striped DSP to the base. Then I used a brad to hold the spinning mechanism in position under the Misty Moonlight front panel.

I stamped the greeting in Misty Moonlight onto a small piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock. Then I used the scalloped die to cut the circle that I could place inside the Bumblebee scalloped frame.

More scalloped frames, in coordinating colours, were cut and adhered to the card front, card insert and envelope.

It was fun to make another spinning card. Now I’ll need to think of some other card ideas for this set of dies.

What do you think? Who would you like to brew up some fun with?

Until next time, happy stamping.

A PAWFECT CHRISTMAS CARD

Hello! Thanks for popping by.

Today I have a Christmas card to share with you. It features the Sweet Stockings Suite.

SWEET STOCKINGS SUITE COLLECTION (ENGLISH)

The Suite consists of the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set, Stockings Dies, Jolly Felt, Matte Decorative Dots, Pool Party 3/8″ Striped Ribbon and Sweet Stockings 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. The ribbon was the only product that I didn’t use in this project.

Sorry that this photo is a bit blurry.

I wanted to make each of the three sizes of stockings using the Jolly Felt. So, that was my first step. As you can see, I added the white felt trims and some holly to each of the stockings. For the stocking fillers I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the two gifts and puppy. As soon as the gifts were adhered to the stockings, I mounted them on the three Basic White and Old Olive panels.

Phew .. a much better photo!

A half inch strip of Bumblebee and Old Olive cardstock was cut and I used the Tailored Tag punch to create the banner end on each of them. These were adhered to the Designer Series Paper panel which was then positioned on the card front.

The three stocking panels were also posiitoned and secured onto the card.

I stamped the greeting in Cherry Cobbler before trimming it and popping it on the card, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The small gift box was stamped on the card insert and envelope. Then I attached a few of the Matte Decorative Dots to the card.

This card is PAWfect for my brother this Christmas – now that he has a second puppy in the family. I hope that he’s going to like it.

Are you a #cat or #dog person?

Until next time, happy stamping.

SKETCH CHALLENGE #GDP306

Hello everyone and welcome to today’s project share. I appreciate the time each of you take when you pop by.

As many of you know, I have been trying to be involved in as many blog hops and challenges as I can. They are a great way to try something new and they give me a concept for another project.

Today’s project is for the Global Design Project Sketch Challenge. If you pop over to the GDP website, you can see the cards made by their design team and the projects that are being entered into the challenge. If you click on the sketch challenge image below, the link will take you there.

For my project I wanted to use the new Cork Specialty Paper as well as the Garden Birdhouses Stamp Set. I hope you like the end result.

After preparing the Early Espresso card base, I cut the Cork frame using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I also cut a White Vellum frame using the Scalloped Contours Dies. The vellum was then coloured using the Dark So Succulent Stampin’ Blend. These two frames were then glued together.

I stamped and coloured the birdhouse and bird images onto a die cut piece of Very Vanilla cardstock before placing it in the centre of the card front, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The layered frame was then centred on the card front and popped up using more Dimensionals.

The branch, from the Birds & More Dies, was cut from a piece of Soft Succulent card that had Foam Adhesive Sheet attached. I positioned the branch to sweep across the top of the frame and the foam sheet added height to the card. The greeting was fussy cut and attached to the bottom of the frame.

I stamped the birdhouse on the card insert and envelope before adding a few 2021 – 2023 In Colour Jewels to the card.

It’s been a while since I’ve used dies from so many different sets for one project. I love the versatility of my Stampin’ Up!® products.

I think this card would be perfect, with a pillow gitft, for someone visiting your home.

Until next time, happy stamping.
