A Wish for Everything and Timeless Tropical : Purple Mother’s Day Card, Charlet Mallett - Stampin’ Up!

Global Design Project - GDP238 - Sketch Challenge: A Wish for Everything

April 27, 2020

Painted in Purple! I took this sketch from this weeks Global Design Project challenge and painted a purple gradient striped background using Highland Heather. Each stripe a little lighter than the last. It’s not perfect but I like the effect.

The sentiment stamp set and dies are from the A Wish for Everything bundle. The flower and leaf stamp are from the Timeless Tropical stamp set.

Mother’s Day is only 2 weeks away (in the U.S.), I’m getting ready to pop a few cards in the mail.

TGIF Challenges: TGIFC221 - Christmas in July

July 19, 2019

Do you make Holiday projects in July? Sometimes the fancy strikes. ‘Christmas in July’ is this TGIF Challenge for this week. The Stampin’ Up! Holiday mini catalog is just around the corner but since we don’t have those new Holiday products to play with yet I thought I would take a stab at creating a Christmas card using Waterfront stamp set and the A Wish for Everything bundle. It turned out pretty cute!

Global Design COLOR Challenge - GDP193 (Free as a Bird & A Wish for Everything)

June 10, 2019

Grab your sunglasses … the Global Design Project has a BRIGHT color challenge for you. This week we are using Pineapple Punch, Granny Apple Green and Night of Navy. Grab these colors and get to making. While we use Stampin’ Up! colors please note that any bright yellow, green and deep blue will do.

I made few cards using these colors. Isn’t it interesting to see how much color plays a role in your crafting? This first card features the small flower for the Free as a Bird Stamp set. I created a quick circle watercolor wash on the base layer in Pineapple Punch. The ‘Thanks for Being You’ sentiment is stamped directly onto the yellow in Night of Navy. The Flowers and leaves are also stamped on watercolor paper in Night of Navy and Granny Apple Green. The ink was pulled from the stamped images to create this painterly effect. This card is very petty in these colors don’t you think?

The next two cards I created use the new word bundle called ‘A Wish for Everything’. That name says it all - this stamp set truly has a sentiment for just about every occasion. The dies include larger sentiments that pair with the smaller stamp greeting. These colors scream HAPPY so this next card is all about the HAPPY. The ‘happy’ die has been cut in the three colors and stacked on the front of the card for the focal point. The background features the stamp set. I stamping WISHING YOU in Pineapple punch, HAPPY in Granny Apple Green and BIRTHDAY in Night of Navy a bazillion times to create that all over background.

This is a great color combo for a birthday card. This last card pulls in the balloon punch to help give a few more pops of color.

What do you think? I can’t wait to see what you come up with for this Global Design Project Challenge. Be sure to take your project #gdp193 and happy stamping!

Fancy Friday Blog Hop - All about the Designer Series Paper!

May 30, 2019

Hello friends! It’s all about the Designer Series Paper for this Fancy Friday hop.

Do you ever have an idea where a project is going to go and then it doesn’t come to fruition? Well, that is what happened to me this round. I had grand plans to create a home decor piece using papers but I came up empty handed. I am typically a crafter who makes with a purpose and I had no idea what to make. Lol. I did however need to make Father’s Day cards and so I set off to create a few of those focused around a FANTASTIC new paper called Come Sail Away. These papers are available next week (June 4th) and are nautical in theme but also have really useable generic patterns.

Often a little snip of paper can go a really long way. On this Anchor card the blue and white stripe paper really packs a punch with just a little peek. The Anchor is from the stamp set called Sail Away and the Greeting is from the set called A Wish For Everything.

It’s hard to pick a favorite pattern from this paper pack but I might been leaning toward the old newspaper clipping sheet. It looks pretty authentic, just like it was torn out of an old newspaper. I pushed that look a little farther by tearing and stressing the edge of the paper.

The Father’s Day die cuts are from the A Wish For Everything bundle. Additional card supplies are listed at the end of this post.

Thanks for taking a minute to stop by today. Who are we? The Fancy Friday team is a group of Stampin' Up! Artisan's, both past and present. We hop once a month, on the last Friday of the month.

Are you ready? So much inspiration is in store from my fancy friends. Next up is Teneale. Seriously, this girl is so talented! I can’t wait to see what she made.
