Itty Bitty Greetings - Global Design Project Sketch Challenge - GDP178

Hello and happy Monday. I’ve got a cheery card for you today.

I opted to use a few products that I haven’t cracked open for my Global Design Project card for this week’s sketch challenge. I started out playing around the Happiness Blooms Memories and More kit. I love the designs of the little 3x4 cards and thought one might make a great base for the card layout. The Happiness Blooms M&M kit also includes some fun die cut images and that is where I pulled the ‘Smile’ sentiment from.

Bitty Blooms is a mini four pack of flower punches that coordinate with the imagery in the M&M kit. I used the 8 petal flower to punch and create a few floating flowers to frame the sentiment.

It’s a little early for graduation card however I know I will need a few of these kinds of cards in the coming months so I pulled the Happy Graduation sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set.

Fancy Friday Blog Hop - February - favorite Occasions product

Hello friends! Welcome to the February Fancy Friday blog hop. Good stuff is in store.

Who are we? The Fancy Friday team is a group of talented Stampin' Up! Artisan's, both past and present. We hop the last Friday of the month.

This round we are sharing our favorite Occasions catalog products. I am so excited to see what my crafty friends have chosen as their favorites. In fact once I see what they’ve made I’m certain my favorites might change. Lol, I’m funny like that.

I’ve got so many occasions favs it’s hard to narrow it down to just one thing. If it HAD to be one thing I’d choose the rectangle framelits. These are a must have tool that I will use forever and ever. However when it comes to stamps I am swooning over the the Flowering Desert stamp set. I love the painterly style and it’s just so much fun to stamp with. The builder pieces are so versatile and allow for creating really unique scenes. Plus I’m really into cactus imagery right now (who isn’t).

Simple stamping… sometimes it fun to make a single layer card with only stamps! This card uses three images from the stamp set. You can create a similar look with any set, just use a little blue painters tape or washi tape to mask off the middle and stamp a symmetrical boarder on either side.

Are you ready to be wowed? If you are traveling this hop in order you just arrived from Lauren. Next up is Sue. Thanks for stopping by! Charlet

Flowering Desert - Global Design Project Color Challenge - GDP177

I was so excited to see this weeks Global Design Project color challenge. These colors look amazing together. I knew immediately that I wanted to use the Flowering Desert stamp set with these colors.

Flowering Desert is a great builder stamp set. I like a set with lots of images that I can build upon and customize. This set is so easy to use and everything you stamp looks fantastic and deliberate. I created the background scene by building various cactus, flowers and leaf images. To balance it I started by stamping with the larger images and the darkest color first. Then I filled in the open spaces with the smaller images. I like this effect.

Lasting Lily - Monday Montage & WWYS

Lasting Lily - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Hi friends. Doing a little double duty today with my post. I am feeding two birds with one seed (if you will).

The Montage Montage crew is hopping and showcasing the fun new projects they are working on. The Monday Montage crew is a talented bunch. A quick refresher, the Montage gals host a blog hop every other Monday showing you fun and exciting Stampin’ Up! products. This is sure to be an inspiring show and tell of products.

I happened to be working on a card featuring the Lasting Lily stamp set for the WWYS crew. It’s seems like a natural fit to create another card for the this hop.

Do you like this coloring effect on these cards? I’ve taken the Lasting Lily stamp set and stamped the large Lily image in Grapefruit Grove onto watercolor paper. I’ve then gone in and softened the look of the flower with an Aqua painter to give the image a little more painterly feel. Then i’ve gone in onto of the image and added a little more detail and shading with Stampin’ Write markers.
