Merry Wishes #GDP117

Good Morning,

I am so excited to share that I received a special mention for my card entry last week!

This week is a colour challenge! You can see what the design team made here

Today’s design is very simple.

I have used a Crumb Cake card base and added a Stitched square die cut.

The trees from the Carols of Christmas stamp set were cut from Lemon Lime Twist card stock. The were were layered at different heights for son dimension.

The sentiment is from the Oh What Fun set. This was stamped with versamark ink on to Real Red card stock and heat embossed with white powder.

A few rhinestones finishes the card and adds a bit of bling.

 

I hope you enjoyed this project.

The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on to white card stock. The Layering Oval dies were used to cut this and a black Scalloped oval which were layered together.

A Whisper White sheer ribbon bow and a silver foil snowflake finish the card.

Falling Snowflakes #GDP114

Hi there,

It is a Sketch Challenge over at the Global Design Project this week!

Click here to see what the Design Team created to inspire us!

This card started with making the window frame. After rummaging in my scraps box, I found a piece of Perfect Plum card stock…. Not a colour I use a lot of… So I went with that.

The apertures were cut with the smallest Layering Square die, carefully spacing them as I went.

Somewhere along the line, I decided to use snowflakes within the apertures, so I pulled out Snowflake Sentiments and the matching dies.

I cut the snowflakes, layered them together and added a rhinestone and allowed them to dry.

I stamped the card layer with snowflakes using Wisteria Wonder, stamped off once.

The sentiment was stamped using Elegant Eggplant ink. White sheer ribbon was added to the bottom.

The window frame was adhered with some multipurpose glue. The die cut snowflakes were then added to each aperture.

 

I hope you enjoyed this project.
