Butterfly Gala - Global Design Project Color Challenge - GDP185

April 15, 2019

Good morning! I returned from Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage local event in Atlantic City late last night and am recovering a bit. But those of you who love Stampin’ Up! (who doesn't) will be super excited to see the new catalog and products coming soon! Oh man. I am swooning here.

Ok, onto the business at hand. The Global Design Project challenge this week is about COLOR, monochromatic color. I chose to use shade of YELLOW on my project. I just LOVE yellow. This card features Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight and So Saffron. The yellow just pops off the card when paired with a little white.

Details: Notice that little bit of shimmer coming off the bottom of the butterfly wings? That is Wink of Stella and I love the dusting of shine it adds to the butterflies.

Do you have a favorite color you are dying to see in monochrome? Play along with us, check out the Global Design Project blog for more details. Tag your project #gdp185

Beauty Abounds - Stamp Review Crew

April 14, 2019

Hello and welcome to the Beauty Abounds edition of Stamp Review Crew. This hop will be all about the Butterflies! The Beauty Abound stamp set and dies include the most beautiful images of butterflies. As I begin to write this post I noticed I didn’t use many stamps from the set, instead the butterfly die is the primary focus. The dies are fantastic and help make a stunning card every time!

The background on this card is a fun and messy watercolor using BRIGHT Granny Apple Green and Crushed Curry ink. Speaking of watercolor … I want to send out a BIG THANK YOU to all the fantastic folks that attended the watercolor technique class Jenny and I hosted Friday in Atlantic City. It was a true pleasure to meet you all.

Beauty Abounds - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Below are a few other cards I’ve created using the Beauty Abounds stamp set and dies… These cards use more than stamps than just the HELLO sentiment. Lol.

Thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to comment. I love to hear from you! Up Next is my talented friend Jenny Hall!

What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that gets together to do a blog hop on the first and third Monday of each month. All hops are archived and you can hop through any hop, any time. Click here to see all of the hops!

Climbing Roses Sympathy card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Climbing Roses - TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge - TGIFC207

April 11, 2019

Hello friends! The TGIF Design team has a sketchy challenge for you. Isn’t this a fun layout? So many fun ways you could interpret this sketch.

I’ve opted to use the Climbing Roses stamp set and have watercolored the large rose image in Berry Burst and Tranquil Tide. The color combo is a little unique. I like the way the Tranquil Tide is playing off the Pool Party and the Berry Burst. Super fun.

Little details: The piece of Tranquil Tide cardstock has been dry embossed using the Subtle Textured Embossing folder. Then it has been flicked and splattered with a little bit of black ink. Last I’ve heat embossed the sentiment onto the textured cardstock, without using an embossing buddy, so the embossing powder might stick some into the dry embossed groves. Making the white look a little splattered. I like the messy effect.

Ready to see how the team has interpreted this sketch? Details on how to play along are on the TGIF challenges blog. Check it out!

Sweetest Thing - Global Design Project CASE Challenge - GDP184

April 8, 2019

Time for another Global Design Project challenge. This week just flew by. Hard to believe it’s Monday once again.

This week we are CASEing the designer Allison Okamitsu. I just love Allison’s style. Her cards always feel so fresh.

I made a birthday card for a sweet friend who just turned 40 using this beautiful layout from Allison’s card as inspiration. I attempted to recreate her layout using the Sweetest Thing bundle. This bundle is full of adorable sweet shop imagery. I filled the jar with 40 jelly beans, just right for a 40th birthday.

What would you CASE from this project? Play along with us, check out the Global Design Project blog for more details. Tag your project #gdp184
