Sweet 16 card - Cake Soiree stamp set - Charlet Mallett - Stampin' Up!

Notice the ink technique on the yellow cake stamped image? This cake is a 2-step image (solid base and line art top piece) I swiped the solid base image across the ink pad to get a brushed look and then colored the top of the cake and the flowers in solid with a Stampin' Write Marker.

A Little Merry Card - Sketch Challenge #GDP114

November 20, 2017

HELLO & welcome to another Global Design Project challenge. This week we have an awesome sketch for you to follow. I just love sketch challenges because sometimes coming up with the layout of a card is the hardest part.

My card uses this sketch pretty literally. Look at these darling little holly berry and leaves! I liked them so much I created 6 to repeat in the grid. The paper holly leaves are cut from the Christmas Quilt Thinlets, and the red holly berry is created by me! Ha, kidding but turning Perfect Accents into shiny red berries is super easy to do with Stampin' Blends. I started with a white Perfect Accent left on the sheet. Do not remove from the sheet, it's so much easier to color first and then remove. Simply color the accent with the dark Cherry Cobbler Blend marker. Alcohol ink dries quickly and creates NO transfer mess.

Disclaimer: Using you Blends to color anything beyond paper may shorten the life of the marker. Be sure to take care, there is no need to push hard on the tip. Color the Perfect Accents lightly. Repeat coats as needed for the desired saturation.

Super shiny red berries created with a Cherry Stampin' Blend marker and white Perfect Accents.

The Global Design Project has a new challenge every week that you can play along with. Every week is a different type of challenge; It could be Colour, Theme, CASE or Sketch inspiration. The designers on the GDP team are active Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, super duper talented, and are from all around the globe!

Check out the Global Design Project blog to see all the various projects the designers have created and PLAY along with us. Be sure to tag your project with our challenge hashtag #gdp114. Happy Stamping! I can't wait to see what you create.

In the City - Case the Designer #GDP112

November 6, 2017

Boy, do I have exciting news. I've been asked to become a design team member with the Global Design Project! You guys, this is awesome! I've been a long time fan and player of the GDP weekly challenges. The designers on the GDP team are active Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, super duper talented, and are from all around the globe!

The Global Design Project has a new challenge every week that you can play along with. Every week is a different type of challenge; It could be Colour, Theme, CASE or Sketch inspiration.

This weeks challenge is to CASE the beautiful card that Connie Collins created. There are so many fun ways to interpret Connie's card.

I ended up making two cards for my first post with the GDP team. My first card ended up looking so much like Allison's card that I scrapped it and started over. HA - that's what can happen when you CASE! That card, using Christmas Sweaters, at the end of this post.

For the card I did end up submitting I decided to use the IN THE CITY host set. We have a lot of new neighbors moving into our area and this is perfect card to have on hand. The supply list of products are listed below.

Check out the Global Design Project blog to see all the various projects the designers have created and PLAY along with us! I can't wait to see what you create. Happy Stamping!

Great minds think alike ... This Santa sweater from the Christmas Sweaters stamp set is darling and looks great tiled to create a background. I colored with our new Stampin' Blends!

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. It’s so satisfying to remove the masking tape… always a fun reveal. Card created for @global_design_project Stamp set is ‘Keeping Traditions’ Stencil is made from the negative die cut fir shape from the ‘Calm & Bright’ kit. #stampinup #cardmakingreels #cardmaker

Make Merry! I love pops of red and green with aqua for a holiday cards. Feel so fresh! I used the Keeping Traditions stamp set and leftover pieces from the Calm & Bright kit to create this card for #gdp524 - we are CASEing @herzundhandgemacht over @global_design_project #stampinup #keepingtraditionstampset

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. This CAS kit has tons of cute and tiny elements (yippee for tiny stamps) that are perfect for creating an adorable little holiday scene. 166461 Card created for @global_design_project BRRR theme. #gdp523 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingreels #madewithmine
