Best Wishes #GDP181

Hello Everyone,

This week is a colour challenge!

See what the Design Team have created with this colour palette here

I have to say when I pulled these from my colour caddy I wasn’t instantly inspired.

But I remembered something I had shown my downline about using the Stamparatus to create multicoloured images.

With that in mind, I decided to use Petal Palette to make my project.

And this is my card…

I started by preparing the florals.

I mounted the stamp onto the clear door of the tool. I used sponge daubers to apply the inks.

I stamped with Daffodil Delight ink first. Cleaned the stamp and then applied Grapefruit Grove. I repeated this with Lemon Lime Twist. The images were die cut with the coordinating Framelits.

I prepped a card base using Daffodil Delight card stock and added a Lemon Lime Twist layer.

Before adding Whisper White, I first stamped some foliage to add detail to the background.

The die cuts were adhered to the bottom of the card with dimensionals.

A sentiment was stamped with Grapefruit Grove ink and cut with a die from the same set.

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

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Petal Passion with Calypso Coral

Hello Everyone,

Today’s project was inspired by some fabric.

I have replicated the design using the Petal Palette stamp set.

The main image was stamped with Smoky Slate and Tuxedo Black inks.

The flowers were “coloured” using the circle from Wood Words.

I added a die cut sentiment with dimensionals and embellished with Bitty Blooms, black gems and vellum leaves.

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

Inspire.Create #027

This week marks the first anniversary of the amazing Inspire.Create challenge blog!

Congratulations to Hannah McCurley for making it all happen.

So the theme challenge is……

You can see what the design team have made here! Why don’t you join in too?

I have created a bright congratulations card featuring Petal Palette and the Buffalo Check background.

The check was stamped with Lemon Lime Twist ink and cut down to size… (I didn’t measure it). I also cut a piece of white card stock and stamped the leaves. This was added to a Lovely Lipstick card base.

The flowers were watercoloured with Lemon Lime Twist and Lovely Lipstick inks before Die Cutting. These were adhered with dimensionals.

The sentiment was tucked in to the flowers also using dimensional adhesive.

A few artisan pearls completed the card.

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

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.

Petal Passion Sweet Box

Good Morning,

I don’t make many 3D projects. I find them quite tricky to do, but this turned out really well.

The box itself is a pizza style box made with full A4 sheet of Powder Pink card stock.

The card was scored at 1 inch and 2 inches on all four sides.

The long side was also scored at 5-3/8 inches and 6-3/8 inches.

The score lines were folded and burnished.

Each corner has four squares. The three outer squares were cut away. The remaining square was cut to form a tab.

The centre score lines were also cut in to tabs.

The Petal Passion paper was coloured using a brayer and Flirty Flamingo ink. Whilst flat, paper was added to the lid and the inside panels.

The box was constructed by forming the base first, then the lid.

For a snug closure a belly band was made with Powder Pink ribbon and some flowers from the Petal Palette stamp set.

The flowers were stamped with Memento ink, coloured with Stampin’ Blends and die cut the the coordinating framelits.

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

Inspire. Create. Challenge #009

Hi Everyone,

I am joining the Inspire. Create. Challenge again this week. The them is…. Love! You can see what the design team made here!

I have used Heart Happiness and Petal Palette stamp sets from the Spring Summer catalogue.

I started with the sentiment. This was stamped with Calypso Coral ink and die cut with the coordinating die.

Before adhering this down, I decided where the ribbon would lie and then stamped hearts with second generation ink.

The sentiment and ribbon were secured in place. A bow was also added to the ribbon.

An additional heart was stamped and die cut. This was adhered with dimensionals.

As a finishing touch, some basic pearls were coloured with a Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend marker.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Two of You Together #GDP120

This week the Global Design Project has a Case the Designer challenge. This was created by Krista Frattin. You can see what the design team created here.

And this is what I have created:

The background on the original uses DSP, which I have also pulled in to my design. This paper is black and white, but I coloured the flowers with Stampin’ Blends.

The centrepiece uses the pretty florals from the Petal Palette stamp set. The images were stamped with Memento ink and coloured with Blends.

Coordinating dies were used to cut the images. One was adhered flat whilst the other was raised on dimensionals.

A piece of ribbon was added along the bottom, also inspired by the example card.

A pair of little birds were stamped, coloured and die cut. The were added to the flowers.

The example uses the Everyday Label punch to mount the sentiment. I have used this to cut my chosen sentiment from Whisper White card stock. A second label was cut from Pink Pirouette card stock.

Some silver bakers twine was looped underneath the label which is also visible on the original design.

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

Happy Boxing Day!

The Christmas things are packed away, time to start playing with new products from the new Spring – Summer catalogue.

One of the perks of being a demonstrator is being able to get hold of new products before the catalogue goes live to customers.

This card features some of the elements from the Petal Palette stamp set.

I have used Basic Grey ink rather than black for a softer look.

The bird image was sit with the Starburst Punch and adhered to a Bermuda Bay starburst.

I added some simple decoration with Bermuda Bay Shimmer Ribbon. This is a special item that will be available during Sale-a-tion, check out the details at inkybutterfly.stampinupuk.net
