Global Design Project - GDP288 - Etched in Nature

April 19, 2021
gdp 288.png

Hello and welcome to this week’s Global Design Project challenge. We have a CASE the Designer challenge: Manuela Geiswinkler. Manuela is a true artist and her cards are always a great place to look for inspiration. I was really enchanted by the beautiful background she created on this card using blue, green and pink. I went for a similar look/feel on my card and I love how it turned out. The stamp set shown is called Etched in Nature and will soon be available through Stampin’ Up!

To create the background I used water brushes, classic ink and watercolor paper. I played around a few times until I achieved a similar look to Manuela’s card. I actually colored and cut the bird image out first so I could see where the color might land behind the bird. Colors used are Just Just, Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake.

Hello friends! Welcome to the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Review Crew Hop. I’ve enjoyed crafting with this set. It’s not my typical style however I’ve been really happy with all of the projects I’ve created using this set. See additional inspiration at the end of this post.

CARD 1 (Thank You for your Kindness)

For this card I stamped the larger wildflower image in Crumb Cake along the bottom of the card staggering the image to make it appear less uniform. The flowers have been softly colored using Stampin’ Blends. I love this soft look.

The black dragonfly is from the Dandy laser cuts. I colored the die cut image black and love the contrast against the soft wildflower background.

I added a few black iridescent pearls to give the card a little more dimension.

The greeting has been stamped in Versamark and that set using white emboss powder.

Card 2 (You Are An Inspiration)

The flowers on this card are stamped and colored in same way as mentioned above. Same with the greetings.

For the card base I create a window frame using Mossy Meadow card stock and a square die. I added a hint of the yellow and white stripe from the Dandy Garden Designer Series paper. I like how this little bit of graphic paper changes the look of this card.

A full list of supplies for both cards can be found below.

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!

Global Design Project - GDP287 - Whale Done

April 12, 2021
gdp 287.png

Hello and welcome to this week’s Global Design Project challenge. We have a THEME challenge: By the Sea. There are so many great water/ocean stamp sets and tools lately. Do you have a favorite? I’m using the Whale Done stamp and punch bundle along with many shades of blue inks. This is as close to a one layer card as I get. Lol.

To create the opening for the greeting stamp I used old washi tape to mask the cardstock and then stamped on top of the mask and removed when finished. You can also create a quick mask using a post it note.

Like the white on white look? I used the Subtle embossing folder on the card base and popped the white stamped cardstock on top of that. The Subtle 3D embossing folder is one of my favorites and it is retiring. SAD FACE. This folder will retire at the end of April and is available now while supplies last.

A full supply list can be found below.

Kinda fabulous? I’m not sure I laid the color down in the right order on these pumpkins but they still turned out cute. The stencils are called Painted Pumpkin Decorative Masks. Card created for #gdp565 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #paintedpumpkins

Stamping a scene … I always marvel at how quickly a project can come together when stamping. Sometimes I like to stamp on wet paper as it can make the ink bleed and blur. For this card I built a collage scene with a bunch of stamps and layered with die cut shapes from the Queen Bee bundle. 🐝 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #gdp564
