A BIG Thank You! - Global Design Project - CASE Connie Collins

July 23, 2018
GDP148.jpg

This week the Global Design Project is casing longtime Artisan and super talented Connie Collins! I love Connie's style. I find her projects super detailed, full of depth and texture, and always RICH in color. Her layouts are also so well designed. 

Here is my attempt to mimic her style. I opted to use the same papers (Share What You Love) and colors that Connie used on her card. I hand cut the large purple flowers and leaves directly from a sheet of the papers.  The only item that is stamped on this card is the sentiment. This large greeting is from the A BIG THANK YOU stamp set. 

Are you ready to see what the team has create inspired by Connie? Visit the Global Design Project blog and play along! #GDP148

Do you see this texture on the Crumb Cake cardstock (to the right)? The texture is created with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions folder. This is a genius product! How smart is it to be able to turn any smooth card stock into a textured card stock?! This folder has to be my most favorite tool right now.

Alright, ready to play along? Visit the Global Design Project blog to see more inspiration, get details and to submit your project. Thanks for visiting.

Blended Seasons - Global Design Project - Inspiration Challenge Farm Life

July 16, 2018
GDP147.jpg

Going a little country this week over at Global Design Project. The Theme is Farm Life. I went Country chic!

How would you interpret country / farm life? I instantly wanted to use the Wood Textures Designers Series Papers and the Blended Seasons Stamp set (avail to purchase Aug 1).

I love the look of images stamped and colored on this faux wood paper. After heat embossing the flower image in white I colored with Stampin' Blends. What do you think? Ready to give this theme a try? Hop over to the Global Design Project blog to see even more farm and country inspiration and for details on how to participate. #GPP147

A BIG Thank You! - Global Design Project - Color Challenge

I love COLOR CHALLENGES! They always push me to think a little differently and put colors together I would ordinarily overlook.  This week the Global Design Project has a color challenge for you: Grapefruit Grove, Fresh Fig and Mint Macaron.  #gdp145

 

 

148404G.jpg

Have you seen the A BIG THANK YOU bundle in the Stampin Up! catalog? It's a hidden gem that hasn't gotten much play in my craft room yet. In fact this is the FIRST project I've made with the bundle, and I'm in love. The THANK YOU Die is fantastic (this is the large white Thank You shown on my card), I will be using this often.

The stamp set has unique sentiments and so many fun little pieces that can be used in many ways. I'm LIKING the little striped border. I created a long border with this along the bottom of my card. So fun! I will be using this now that the diagonal background stamp is retired. Also, I'm liking the funky and graphic flowers, leaves and border elements in this set. I can't wait to try and make pattern with these elements.

I created a watercolor wash using the Grapefruit Grove and Fresh Fig ink with an aqua painter - my goal was to have these colors blend into each other without getting muddy when they blended. I think it worked out ok. FYI - if you add Mint Macaron IT WILL GET MUDDY.  Lol.

The flowers in this set are 2-step. For the larger flower I first stamped the outline in black ink. Then I stamped off the solid flower image in Grapefruit Grove. Then I colored the interior petals with a Grapefruit Grove marker for that two-tone look.

I added a few faceted dots to the flower centers for dimension. The flowers and leaves are all hand cut but fairly simple to cut out.

What do you think? Are you ready to give this color combo a try? More inspiration from the fabulous GDP designers and participation details can be found on the Global Design Project Blog. Happy stamping!

This blue and purple winter card uses tidbits from the Calm & Bright kit. I used the negative shape from the fir die cut to create a stencil and layered from there. Blend, stencil, stamp. Colors are Highlander Heather, Cloud Cover, & Lost Lagoon. @global_design_project #gdp525 #stampinup #calmandbright
Masking and stamping! On this card I mask with tape, blend ink, then stamp, then stencil, and stamp again to create a layered scene.

Sending Joy! I created this wintry scene using the Calm and Bright card kit. I love the look of white on white. I pulled in some gold embossing and Crumb Cake to balance out all that white.
