mmm...Stampin' Time

Hello! Thanks for popping by today. I appreciate the time each of you take to visit my site.

My project is for this week’s Global Design Project Challenge – and, it’s a Theme challenge.

So, my question is – where does the sky end, to find ‘the limit’? I decided to go beyond Earth’s blue sky and reach for the stars, for this challenge.

My first decision was to use some of the Night of Navy Ombre Specialty Paper because I love the shimmer that it has. And, while it is ‘Night of Navy’ the ombre effect allows it to coordinate with Misty Moonlight. I adhered a full card front panel of the Ombre Speciality Paer to the Basic White cardbase.

My second decision was to use the Stellar Birthday Stamp Set and the so very cute rocket image. I stamped the image many times on a piece of Shimmery White cardstock with Versamark before heat embossing all the rockets with white embossing powder. Then I water-coloured the cardstock using Misty Moonlight. When dry, I cut three panels – 2 each at 1″ and 1 at 3/4″. These panels were then adhered to the card front, equally from the centre.

The greeting, from the Stellar Birthday Stamp Set, was stamped in Misty Moonlight and cut using this great die from the Bloom Dies set. Before attaching it to the front of the card, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I added some Metallic Mesh Ribbon behind it. Several stars, from the Stitched Stars Dies, were cut and popped up onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also stamped the rocket on the card insert and envelope.

I really love the way the Silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon works with the Night of Navy Ombre Specialty Paper. What do you think?

Who, in your world, is out of this world?

Happy stamping.

Hello everyone! I am so pleased that you have popped by today.

This card is one that I made during my Facebook Live this Wednesday.

it is time for another blog hop. I am really enjoying taking part in different blog hops and challenges. It is a great way to ensure that I am using my Stampin’ Up!® products and posting projects regularly. I hope that you like today’s.

The ongoing theme for this blog hop is THANK YOU. I really like this theme, while it might seem like the idea of thanking someone is unfashionable, it is alive and well and needs to be modelled for others. If I send someone a thank you card, that is a prompt for them to remember to thank others for what they appreciate.

This is the card I made for the April 2021 Blog Highlights – an image of my card is posted on Kylie’s gallery.

This gallery features everyone’s submissions and gives you the opportunity to vote for up to 5 of your favourite cards. The top 10 vote winners then get to participate in an International Blog Hop. Would you consider taking a moment and voting for my card? I’d really appreciate it!

How to do Voting?
Once you click on the link below you can see the photos. Please look for my rainbow thank you card (#11) and click on the little heart sign on the right-hand top side of my photo. Once you’ve touched the little clear heart it will turn to Red Color and that is the notification that you voted. You can vote for up to five, but it’s not required, you can also just vote for one. Thanks so much!

My rainbow was created by using one of the images from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set and five bright rainbow colours – Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, Pacific Point and Poppy Parade.

To achieved the even spacing and aligned position of each image by using my Stamparatus. I had a second stamped image and used it to create the stem of leaves. By placing Adhesive Sheet on the back of the stamped cardstock, I was able to secure the bottom half of the stem to the card front. I secured the top half, in one spot, using a Mini Glue Dot. This meant the top four leaves were able to float.

The greeting was stamped in Granny Apple Green and cut using one of the Tailor Made Tags Dies. I used white and black twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack. After stamping the image on the card insert and envelope, I then added some Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card as well.

I was very pleased with the way this card turned out. It was a successful ‘experiment’ because I wanted to see what this set would look like in very different colours.

Who would you send a rainbow thank you card to?

Happy stamping.

Hello! Thanks for popping by today. I am so pleased that you are here.

Today I wanted to share a Birthday card that I have made. It features the Pattern Party 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper, that is one of the Stampin’ Rewards products in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue.

As you can see, I am also featuring the Stitched Rectagles Dies. I carefully positiond the die so that each piece would look almost identical. Working from the centre out, each triangle was glued onto a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock, with spaces in between. One of the striped triangles was cut in half for each end. The Granny Apple Green piece was attached to a slightly wider piece of Coastal Cabana card.

Using one of the Basic Borders Dies, I cut two lengths of Basic White cardstock and adhered them behind the Coastal Cabana. These layers were then popped up onto a Flirty Flamingo card base using lots of Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The birthday greeting is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set and it was cut using the banner die from the Hybrid Bloom Dies. The card insert and envelope had a half triangle attached before Coastal Cabana Playing with Patterns Resin Dots were added.

I used three different sets of dies for this card. This card is all about the DSP and the shapes that have been cut. These two designs, from the huge 48 sheet bundle of DSP, are so gorgeous.

These is only one stamp used, once. My fingers didn’t get very inky with this project.

What do you think?

Happy stamping.
