Background Bits - TGIF Challenge Summertime Blues

July 21, 2017

It's a Theme Challenge this week over at TGIF Challenges. Every Friday the TGIF Challenge team creates projects based off a specific theme, layout, color scheme or stamp set. The theme this week is Summertime Blues.

Stamping is totally the cure for the summertime blues. My summery / blue themed project includes a blue pocket full of bright, summery flowers. I don't really have the summertime blues, but I do have the summertime busies. We have been so busy around here. I squeezed this card in super last minute.

The stamp set on this card is Background Bits. It is a host rewards set and can be earned with a qualifying party or purchase. The pocket comes from the Pocket Framelit Dies. I added a little white stitching around the pocket with my sewing machine.

What does 'Summertime Blues' mean to you? We'd love to see what you create.  Play along with us over on the TGIF Challenges blog.

One color wonder - I stamped the little birdie image on coldpress watercolor paper in Golden Glow ink and then pulled that color through the images with a water brush. I love easy technique to quickly add color. Bird image & sentiment are from the Cutest Crew stamp set. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #cutestcrew

Golden Glow. I'm going to try to create a series of one color cards using the new Stampin' Up! InColors. Today I'm showcasing Golden Glow. This new color is a soft warm light gold. It is a calming color and I think it is very a nice addition to the yellows. Those cute bird images are from the 'Cutest Crew' stamp set. Need a reason to make? We have a animal theme @global.design.project #gdp551 Play along with us this week! Looking for more inspiration on this Monday? My Monday Montage friends are sharing a bunch of fun new ideas.

Punches for the win. I needed a graduation card so I used two punches from Stampin’ Up! To create the graduation cap. The cap tassle is created using baker’s twine. Modern Oval & Tailored Tag punch. #useyourstash #graduationcard #cardmakingreels
It's been weeks since I created a card and it felt good to sit down and make something. It's graduation season and cards are needed!  I pulled together a few punches and the Bordered in Beauty bundle to create. This card works for two challenges this
It's been weeks since I created a card and it felt good to sit down and make something. It's graduation season and cards are needed! I pulled together a few punches and the Bordered in Beauty bundle to create. This card works for two challenges this week. I'm playing along with @tgifchallenges color challenge using Night of Navy, Granny Apple Green and Smopky Slate. The card layout was inspired by the challenge sketch for @global_design_project #gdp550 #stampinup #cardmaking #graduationcard
