Flowering Desert - TGIF Challenges Color Challenge - TGIFC201

March 1, 2019
TGIFC201.jpg

Rabbit, Rabbit (as my friend Lori would say)! Happy first day of March. With Spring just around the corner the color combo for this weeks TGIF Challenge couldn't be more fitting. Doesn't this card feel like spring in the desert? Or how I imagine a desert spring might look? All my Arizona & Nevada friends, what do you say?

Google is my friend and helped with the curiosity. I’d say these combos are a pretty good match to our TGIF challenge color combo. Photo credits or original photo source is noted by each photo link.

The stamp set used on this card is called Flowering Desert and it just might be my favorite stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalog. It’s super easy to stamp with and to create unique little scenes. In fact, this card is ALL ABOUT the stamping. Outside of the sequins the entire scene is created using the stamp set.

Want to play along with us and show us what you’ve made using this color combo? We’d love to see it. Check out the TGIF Challenges blog for more inspiration and challenge details. Thanks for visiting!

Fancy Friday Blog Hop - February - favorite Occasions product

February 21, 2019
Feather.jpg

Hello friends! Welcome to the February Fancy Friday blog hop. Good stuff is in store.

Who are we? The Fancy Friday team is a group of talented Stampin' Up! Artisan's, both past and present. We hop the last Friday of the month.

This round we are sharing our favorite Occasions catalog products. I am so excited to see what my crafty friends have chosen as their favorites. In fact once I see what they’ve made I’m certain my favorites might change. Lol, I’m funny like that.

I’ve got so many occasions favs it’s hard to narrow it down to just one thing. If it HAD to be one thing I’d choose the rectangle framelits. These are a must have tool that I will use forever and ever. However when it comes to stamps I am swooning over the the Flowering Desert stamp set. I love the painterly style and it’s just so much fun to stamp with. The builder pieces are so versatile and allow for creating really unique scenes. Plus I’m really into cactus imagery right now (who isn’t).

Simple stamping… sometimes it fun to make a single layer card with only stamps! This card uses three images from the stamp set. You can create a similar look with any set, just use a little blue painters tape or washi tape to mask off the middle and stamp a symmetrical boarder on either side.

Flowering Desert cactus card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Flowering Desert - Global Design Project Color Challenge - GDP177

February 18, 2019
gdp177.jpg

I was so excited to see this weeks Global Design Project color challenge. These colors look amazing together. I knew immediately that I wanted to use the Flowering Desert stamp set with these colors.

Flowering Desert is a great builder stamp set. I like a set with lots of images that I can build upon and customize. This set is so easy to use and everything you stamp looks fantastic and deliberate. I created the background scene by building various cactus, flowers and leaf images. To balance it I started by stamping with the larger images and the darkest color first. Then I filled in the open spaces with the smaller images. I like this effect.

Ready to see more color inspiration using Melon Mambo, Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green?

This blue and purple winter card uses tidbits from the Calm & Bright kit. I used the negative shape from the fir die cut to create a stencil and layered from there. Blend, stencil, stamp. Colors are Highlander Heather, Cloud Cover, & Lost Lagoon. @global_design_project #gdp525 #stampinup #calmandbright
Masking and stamping! On this card I mask with tape, blend ink, then stamp, then stencil, and stamp again to create a layered scene. It’s so satisfying to remove the masking tape… always a fun reveal.

Sending Joy! I created this wintry scene using the Calm and Bright card kit. I love the look of white on white. I pulled in some gold embossing and Crumb Cake to balance out all that white. This CAS kit has tons of cute and tiny elements (yippee for tiny stamps) that are perfect for creating an adorable little holiday scene. 166461 Card created for @global_design_project BRRR theme. #gdp523 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingreels #madewithmine
