Global Design Project - Theme Challenge - GDP203

August 19, 2019

A new baby calls for a handmade card! My cousin recently added to her family and I finally got a chance to use this set for a baby card. The timing is also perfect as we have a SUN, MOON AND STARS challenge at Global design Project.

What I like about this card … Gold embossing, watercolor, black and white polkadot stars and sequins. Ha! That’s pretty much everything. This card is long and skinny. I’ll package it with the gift and mail together. Now i’m off to buy a gift. Lol. Card first, gift second. Seems about right.

Join us. Want to play along? Give this theme a try. I can’t wait to see what you come up with for this Global Design Project Challenge. Be sure to take your project #gdp203 so we can see your creation.

Birch - Stamp Review Crew

August 18, 2019

Welcome to the Birch Edition of Stamp Review Crew. I love background stamps. What could be better than a really large stamp? When I say I love them, I really do. I have a collection. I never get rid of them. I’ve posted a few pictures of my collection at the end of this post.

This background stamp is the pattern of a Birch tree. I’ve used it on my card inside the stitched window. I’ve also created a couple of napkin rings. The Birch looks so real. Just like it was shed from a tree. Both projects also use the Beautiful Friendship stamp set.

What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of paper crafters that get together to feature and review a single Stampin’ Up! stamp set on the first and third Monday of each month. All of our previous stamp set reviews are archived. Click here to see all of the hops!

Ready for more inspiration using this stamp set? Next up is Lou. Be sure to go through the hop to see what ALL my talented friends have created using this set. Thanks in advance for taking the time to comment. I love to hear from you.

TGIF Challenges: TGIFC225 - ALL ON BLACK Challenge

August 15, 2019

ALL ON BLACK - what a fun challenge for this weeks TGIF Challenge. There are so many fantastic new Halloween products coming out on September 1 from Stampin’ Up! that I had to play with a few for this challenge. The stamp set is called The Raven. I added a bunch of sparkling black embossing powder to give the details on the black card stock a little punch.

I am a HUGE fan of Halloween and decorating for Halloween. This little 6x6 piece of decor will be a nice addition to my Halloween decorations.

Play along with us! Check out the TGIFChallenges Blog for more details. Tag your projects #tgifc225 so we are sure to see them.

Time for Global Design Project. Our challenge this week is a sketch challenge. I really love his sketch and there are so many great way it could be interpreted. I love the little flag element and decided to make this bigger for my focal point. I decided to use the Birch Background stamp and the Beautiful Friendship stamp sets. I love these two set together, they really work! The flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral and Petal Pink my two go to favorite colors. The Birch has been stamped off in Gray Granite for a more subtle look.
