Sunshine Sayings – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

Nine Blooms #GDP182

Hello Everyone,

This week is a sketch challenge!

See what the Design Team have created with the sketch here

And this is my interpretation of the sketch. I love how it turned out.

The card base was made with Powder Pink card stock. The front was embossed with the Petal Burst embossing folder.

Stitched Rectangle Framelits were used to build the topper. Powder Pink ribbon was tied around the first two layers.

The third later was adhered with dimensionals. Nine Bitty Blooms were punched and added to the card. A rhinestone was placed in each of the centres.

A final rectangle was used to cut a sentiment that was stamped with Berry Burst ink.

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

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Green Swirl Birthday

Hello Everyone,

This card I made for an Irish friend who loves green.

And if green isn’t your colour, this design can easily be made in colours to suit your taste.

I like building backgrounds with different colour inks. The Swirly Bird stamp set is perfect for this.

I started with the largest image, stamped in the lightest colour, Soft Sea Foam. Stamping in threes is generally pleasing to the eye too.

The smaller images were added in the other colours, finishing with the splatter that was stamped with the darkest colour, Shaded Spruce.

Shaded Spruce was also used for the sentiment. This was added to over hang the layers behind the background panel.

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.

Lovely Floral Wreath #GDP168

Good Morning,

This week’s Global Design Project challenge is to Case the Designer…. Sarah Berry.

The rest of the design team have made some beautiful projects which you can see here

I have used the Floral Frames bundle to create my wreath design.

To build the wreath, I first die cut 2 of the large motifs. These were adhered together and then to a white card base.

Flowers were stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink. A Wink of Stella pen was used to blend the lines adding soft colour to the flowers.

These were die cut and layered on to the card with dimensionals.

Leaves were cut from Old Olive card stock.

Finally, the sentiment from Sunshine Sayings was stamped with Old Olive ink. Some rhinestones completed the card.

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

Happy for You – Just Add Ink #432

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to my blog, I hope you had a great weekend.

Today’s post is my entry in to the Just Add Ink challenge.

Have a look at the design team projects by clicking here

I have chosen to work with the Pop of Petals bundle, faceted buttons and twine bows.

The flowers were stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink and punched out.

Silver Baker’s twine was threaded through some faceted buttons and tied in a bow. These were adhered to the flower centres with Multipurpose glue.

Meanwhile, some polka dot tulle was wrapped around a card layer. Foliage was added with Shaded Spruce ink.

The flowers were added in a cluster. A sentiment was stamped with Gray Granite ink.

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

Inspire.Create #028

Hello Everyone,

There’s a new Inspire.Create challenge going on right now…. Look at these colours!

As always the design team have pulled out all the stops with their samples. You can see them here.

For my design, I wanted to use a stamp set with lots of complementary elements. I ended up choosing Swirly Bird.

The card itself was really easy to put together. First, I decided which stamps I would pair with each colour, (except Lovely Lipstick). I then built up the design, keeping in mind the “rule of threes”.

The corners were punched with the Detailed Trio Punch and adhered to a Lovely Lipstick card base.

I also used Lovely Lipstick card stock to die cut the word ‘love’ which I adhered to a Vellum circle.

The additional sentiments were stamped on to strips of white card stock. These were also added to the Vellum, this time with dimensionals.

The vellum was then adhered to the card with dimensionals, hiding them behind the other elements.

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

Happy Birthday #FMS355

Hi Folks,

Friday means a sketch challenge! This week the inspiration is provided by Kim.

The design team have made some fabulous cards which you can see here.

This is my card using Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper.

The paper was cut to 3-3/4 by 5-1/2 inches and adhered to black card stock measuring 4 by 5-3/4 inches.

Happy Birthday from the Sunshine Sayings stamp set was stamped three times onto a strip of black card. This was embossed with white powder and added to the card with dimensionals.

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

Petal Squares

Hi there Everyone,

Today’s project is a bit different to my usual style but really liked how it turned out.

The card base was made with Mossy Meadow card stock.

For the background panel, Whisper White card stock was cut to 4-3/4 by 3 inches. This was added to a piece of Rich Razzleberry card stock measuring 4-7/8 by 3-1/8 inches.

Rich Razzleberry velvet ribbon was wrapped over the left hand side. The panel was then adhered to the card with dimensionals.

Some Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper was cut in to 1-1/4 inch squares and added to Mossy Meadow card stock. Each square was then adhered to the card using dimensionals.

To complete the card, I added a sentiment from Sunshine Sayings and some Artisan Pearls.

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

Happy For You #GDP138

Hello there,

As it is Wednesday, today I am sharing my entry for this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge.

You can see what the design team created here!

This is the card I made.

I have used a Crumb Cake card base which was stamped with coordinating ink with the Touches of Texture stamp set.

To make the topper, I cut a 2-1/2 inch strip of Lemon Lime Twist Foil Frenzy designer series paper. To this I adhered a 2 inch piece of Crumb Cake.

Some Lemon Lime Twist Finely Woven ribbon was ruffled along the bottom edge. The panel was then adhered to the card base with dimensionals.

A small piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock was made into a banner. The butterfly from the Butterfly Basics stamp set was stamped and fussy cut.

The sentiment is taken from the Sunshine Sayings set. This was stamped using Soft Suede ink.

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

Take Heart #GDP134

Hi there Everyone,

Today I am sharing my entry for the Global Design Project. This week is a sketch challenge.

You can see what the design team created by clicking here!

This is my project.

I have used the gorgeous Sweet Sugarplum card stock as the base.

I also punched out an Everyday Label and tiny heart from the Cookie Cutter punch.

A piece of Petal Passion designer series paper was coloured with Pink Pirouette ink pad applied directly to the paper.

A one inch strip of Pink Pirouette card stock was adhered to some black card stock. This was wrapped with black bakers twine before adhering to the card.

I then added the label shape using dimensionals. A die cut heart was embellished with punched heart, then adhered with a dimensional.

Finally, I picked out a greeting from the Sunshine Sayings stamp set. This was cut with the Classic Label punch.

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

Hi there,

Here’s another simple card for you today.

From the Sunshine and Rainbows bundle, I stamped and die cut the sun along with some clouds.

The pieces were arranged across the middle of a Smoky Slate card base. These were adhered with Snail and dimensionals.

“You are my”, is a stamp from the Sunshine Sayings set in the annual catalogue.

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

Lots of Lavender

Hi Everyone,

Lots of Lavender is a beautiful new set that is available during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying order.

The lavender image was stamped with black Memento ink. The set includes stamps that can be used to “colour” the main image. I used Perfect Plum, Pear Pizzazz and Crushed Curry. All were stamped off once for a more subtle effect.

The panel was added to Pear Pizzazz card stock and then on to a Wisteria Wonder card base with dimensionals.

There are no sentiments in the set, so I used Sunshine Sayings and Garden Green ink.

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

Congrats #FMS318

Hi there,

Another fun sketch challenge from FMS for today’s project.

I decided to give Christmas a break and designed this cute congrats card.

I have used So Saffron card stock cut to 1 inch and 2 inch strips and adhered them to a Whisper White card base.

A 2-1/4 by 4 inch piece of white card stock was stamped with an image from the Flower Shop set. This was added to the card with dimensionals.

Two additional flowers were stamped in Rose Red ink and cut with the coordinating punch.

The greeting was taken from Sunshine Sayings. The Leaf Punch was used to cut Lemon Lime Twist card for a pop of extra colour.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Poppies

Hi there,

Welcome to week 2 of this months Pootler’s Design Team projects.

The featured stamp set is Flirty Flowers, and today I am using the lovely poppy image.

I have stuck with the traditional red poppy colour and with some careful selective inking, manage to stamp the stalks. I used Real Red and Wild Wasabi inks.

The white layer was matted on to Cherry Cobbler card stock.

Some beautiful white sheer ribbon was tied around before adding to a Crumb Cake card base.

The sentiment has been taken from Sunshine Sayings. I was thinking about Remembrance Day and the message it brings. This was cut with the smallest scalloped square from the Layering Squares framelit set, and then added with a dimensional.

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

Thanks for stopping by… Be sure to look at the projects created by Laurie, Jill, Julie and Tracy.

Hi there,

Autumn is definitely on the way!

This card uses the lovely Vintage Leaves set.

On a Very Vanilla card layer, I stamped five leaves in Cajun Craze ink.

I filled in the gaps using Pumpkin Pie ink, stamped off once.

Some stitched ribbon was added along the bottom. A separate little bow was added to this with a glue dot.

The sentiment is from Sunshine Sayings. The layer was then adhered to a Tangerine Tango card base.
