Little Elephant baby cards - GDP206

September 15, 2019

Little 3x3 love notes are the perfect sized card to attach to baby gifts. Such a nice size for a small present and easy to make! It seems like I have so many friends having babies lately. These cards have come in handy!

Funny enough, I used this GDP206 sketch to make these cards. I’m playing along this week instead of designing for the Global Design Project. I was a little late getting my projects posted. OOPS!

Last night to play along. More info on the Global Design Project Blog.

Trick or Tweet - just for fun

September 30, 2018

It’s the last day of September. High time I get my Halloween on. Check out this little 3x3 gift card. The elephant in a bat costume has to be one of the cutest Halloween images I’ve seen this season (from the Trick or Tweet stamp set). Love him. I created a simple 3x3 card to pair with a Halloween gift. I love how deep and saturated Rich Razzleberry looks with Gorgeous Grape, a perfect color choice for Halloween. The bats come from the Spooky Sweets stamp set.

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 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
