Background Bits - TGIF Challenge Summertime Blues

July 21, 2017

It's a Theme Challenge this week over at TGIF Challenges. Every Friday the TGIF Challenge team creates projects based off a specific theme, layout, color scheme or stamp set. The theme this week is Summertime Blues.

Stamping is totally the cure for the summertime blues. My summery / blue themed project includes a blue pocket full of bright, summery flowers. I don't really have the summertime blues, but I do have the summertime busies. We have been so busy around here. I squeezed this card in super last minute.

The stamp set on this card is Background Bits. It is a host rewards set and can be earned with a qualifying party or purchase. The pocket comes from the Pocket Framelit Dies. I added a little white stitching around the pocket with my sewing machine.

What does 'Summertime Blues' mean to you? We'd love to see what you create. Play along with us over on the TGIF Challenges blog.

Wood Words - A Note For You - GDP096 Case the designer

July 20, 2017

I'm back with another challenge card for you. Today's morning card inspiration uses Wood Words. This is such a fun set.

I just LOVE the Global Design Project challenges. These are so much fun to play along with. Guess what? The GDP shared the love and I was selected as a winner in the #GDP095 theme challenge! Super cool, right? You can see that winning card here, and here.

The challenge this week is a Case the Designer challenge. CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit. My jumping off point started with the layout of Tanja's card. I completely mixed up the colors and stamp set but you can still see the inspiration. #GDP096

See more of Tanja's inspiring work here. Happy stamping!

Pieces & Patterns, Pick a Pattern - Dinosaur Hello card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

Pieces & Patterns is a super fun, cute and diverse stamp set. I've finally gotten around to playing with it a little bit and ended up making some cards perfect for the wee ones. These projects are for the kids! Dinos & critters, what more can I say.

Both cards use images hand cut from the Pick A Pattern designer series papers and paired with a cute sentiment from the stamp set.

Want to see more kid related cards and projects? Check out the Global Design Project challenge for this week. It's a kids theme challenge.

Daisy Delight - What Will You Stamp

July 10, 2017

Hi guys and happy Monday! Daisy Delight is the challenge stamp set over on the What Will You stamp blog. What does that mean? Every Monday, a group of stampers create projects using a preselected stamp set. Our goal is to show you some of the many ways a set can be used. If you have this stamp set you can play along with us. Details can be found on the WWYS blog.

Today I am sharing two cards using the Daisy Delight stamp set and punch. These projects are pretty similar in supplies, just a little different in layout. The timing is perfect to feature Daisies this week. My yard is blooming with them. They are so pretty.

Thanks for taking the time to visit and please know I appreciate you making my blog an inspiration stop.
