TGIF Challenges 373 - Paper Clip Inspiration using Good feelings

June 16, 2022

It’s Friday and that means it is time for TGIF Challenges. This week we were challenged to incorporate paper clips into our projects. i created a bag envelope with a large pink paper clip that is a great match to Sweet Sorbet. This bag holds a cute matching card with some funds for a recent high school graduate.

Play along with us this week. More inspiration can be found on the TGIF Challenges Blog. Happy Stamping.

Global Design Project - GDP346 Sketch challenge using Full of Love

June 6, 2022

The Full of Love stamp set is so darling and super fun to color. I’ve stamped the large flower cluster image in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using Stampin’ Blends. I’ve done the same with the small flowers. All have been cut (using my brother scan n cut machine) and arranged on the card flowing the sketch. The background has a hint of Pool Party Blended onto the white cardstock with a blending brush. Small flowers have been stamped onto the blended background in versamark and heat set using white emboss powder.

Artisan Design Team - June 2022 - Best Butterfly

June 4, 2022

Hello friends! June’s Artisan assignment was to create project using the Best Butterflies bundle.. I decided to pull in a little watercolor in fun colors to compliment these whimsical butterflies.

I created watercolor background for this card using Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Sweet Sorbet. The circles have been stamped onto this background using coordinating colors.

These butterflies look so cute cut from white cardstock. I’ve layered vellum under the pattern wings. The butterfly bodies are cut from Silver foil cardstock. The sentiment had been heat embossed using silver emboss powder. I’ve added a few silver rhinestones to top things off.

Check out the projects the team created using Best Butterflies..

For this slimline card I painted simples stripes of color for the background. Once dry I stamped the sentiment in coordinating colors onto each stripe. I had to do a little masking to get the sentiments to appear as single words. The entire background is mounted onto Blushing Bride cardstock.

A full list of supplies can be found below.
