Happy Birthday Friend #GDP153

Hi Everyone,

It’s time for a Global Design Project colour challenge! Wish me luck, the winner will get the opportunity to be a guest designer… That would be amazing!

See what the design team have made here.!

So these colours are quite a challenge. Not a combination I would have chosen, though it does remind me of neopolitan ice cream!

This is what I created.

The Timeless Textures stamp set was used to make a tone on tone distressed background on the Daffodil Delight card base.

A panel was made by adding Flirty Flamingo DSP to another piece of Daffodil Delight card stock. This was adhered with dimensionals.

The circle topper was made using combinations of layering dies and punches. The sentiment was stamped with 2nd generation Soft Suede ink and cut with the matching Darling Label punch.

Soft Suede ink was used to stamp the flowers. Sponge daubers were used to apply the ink colours of the challenge to the image.

This was die cut and added to the card with dimensionals. A few rhinestones and Wink of Stella completed the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

2 cards, 1 design

Hi Folks,

Sometimes I like to make the most of my craft time by making multiple cards of the same design.

Today the same layout has been used to make a landscape and portrait card.

Two card bases can be made from one sheet of Old Olive A4 Card stock. Score the short side first at 5-7/8 inches and then cut lengthways a 4-1/8 inches.

Patterned paper was cut to 5-3/4 by 4 inches, then cut diagonally. Each piece was adhered to the loose corner of the card base.

A pearlized doily was added next with the sentiment. This was stamped with Old Olive ink and cut with the Everyday Label Punch.

Leaves were punched from black and white Vellum card stock.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Just Add Ink #423

Hi Everyone,

I hope those of you in the UK are enjoying the Bank Holiday.

Today I am playing along with the Just Add Ink challenge.

This is an interesting combination, see what the design team have made here!

And this is what I have created featuring the Follow Your Dreams stamp set and dies.

I built the background first using the Artisan Textures stamp set. To soften this a little, a Vellum overlay was placed over the top. The panel was added to a Basic Grey card base.

There are lots of layers on the dream catcher.

First, the largest image was stamped in Basic Grey and Die cut.

The additional layers were cut from Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede card stock. These were secured together with a silver brad.

The large feathers were cut from white card stock and Soft Suede ink was added to the ends with a sponge dauber. The smaller feathers were stamped with Bermuda Bay ink on to matching card before Die Cutting and adding to the dream catcher.

The Friendly Expressions stamp set was used for the sentiment which was heat embossed with silver powder.

This was cut with the Pretty Label Punch and adhered with dimensionals. A few silver pearls completed the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Oh Darling! #GDP152

Good Afternoon,

I am playing along with the Global Design Project today.

The challenge this time is to case the Designer. Janneke has created this beautiful card as inspiration.

The design team have made some fantastic interpretations of the card. You can see them here!

The inspiration card uses the Stitched All Around stem set, which I carried through to my design. I also kept the purple colour theme.

The card base was made by adding Highland Heather card stock.

A smaller layer was embossed with the stitching Die from the set. The layer was mounted on to Whisper White card stock and adhered to the base with dimensionals.

The Stitched label was cut from Vellum.

The sentiment was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and cut with the Everyday Label Punch. This was added to a a starburst punch shape and then on to the card with dimensionals.

Rather than flowers, I added butterflies from the Painted Glass stamp set. The outline was Blended slightly and Wink of Stella Glitter brush added some bling.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Lisa’s Colour Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Welcome this month’s InspireINK blog hop.

Lisa has chosen a colour challenge. I had to think a long time about this one!

In the end I opted for a grungy style card.

I used the Artisan Textures stamp set, starting with Merry Merlot. This is a strong colour, so I used only a little bit. This later became the backdrop for the sentiment.

Other images from Artisan Textures were used to build up the background. Bermuda Bay first, then Daffodil Delight. The panel was mounted on to a Merry Merlot card base.

Bermuda Bay ink was used to stamp the sentiment on to a strip of white card stock. The Everyday Label Punch was used the shape the ends.

A few rhinestones finished the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Trio of Vases #FMS351

Hi Everyone,

Today I am taking part in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. The idea for this week’s sketch was based on the rule of thirds.

So I have created a trio of beautiful Vases, each filled with a trio of flowers!

I started by Stamping and punching all the Vases, flowers and leaves. The outlines were stamped with Memento and then the solid images were used to fill them in. I chose Soft Sea Foam, Petal Pink and Balmy Blue. Granny Apple Green was used for the leaves.

The flowers were left white and vanilla.

On a Whisper White layer, I stamped the “shelf” with Sahara Sand ink.

I lay out the Vases without adhesive to judge where to add some green stalks. The Vases were then secured with dimensionals.

Leaves were added with Multipurpose glue and the flowers with mini dimensionals.

Wink of Stella clear glitter pen add sparkle to the flowers and Vases.

Gray Granite ink was used to add the sentiment. The panel was mounted on to a Tranquil Tide card base.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Inspire.Create. #025 Guest Designer

Hello Everybody,

Today is a very special day for me… Today I have the enormous pleasure to be a guest designer for this Inspire.Create.Challenge.

This week is a colour challenge, and wouldn’t you know they are three of my favourites!

So this what I have designed.

I have kept the card simple to allow the beautiful colours to shine through.

I used the Chase Your Dreams Framelits to cut five feathers from Whisper White card stock. The word “dream” was cut three times.

The inks were applied to the die cuts using a sponge dauber.

The die cut words were stacked and adhered to the card with Multipurpose glue.

Mini dimensionals were used to adhere the feathers to the card.

A touch of Wink of Stella was added over the top of the die cuts for a little extra sparkle.

I hope have enjoyed this project as much as I did making it!

The supplies used to make this card are listed below.
