Paint Play Anniversary Card - GSF Blog Hop

Over at Global Stamping Friends we are having a Special Anniversary Blog Hop. It is not very often that I give an anniversary card but it is very special time no matter what type it is. Today's card I have made a generic anniversary card ready for the next anniversary that comes up. I have used the Paint Play stamp set from Stampin' Up! which is quickly becoming a firm favourite of mine.



This whole card is stamped!!! I know it would have been easier grabbing a piece of our beautiful Designer Series Paper but I do love creating my own unique stamped background and I have used the colours pictured below to create the background with the Paint Play stamped set. I have layered a few of the images to give a more finished look like the roses in Powder Pink and Rose Red inks and the daisies in Peekaboo Peach and Daffodil Delight inks. I made sure to add some of the small leaves to roses in Wild Wasabi ink from the stamp set.

The sentiment was created using the Happy from Paint Play in Perfect Plum stamp set in and Anniversary from the Banners for You stamp set in Rose Red ink. This was punched out using the upcoming Everyday Label Punch available from September 1st. I stamped more of the smaller images to fill the punched shape and added a strip of Rose Red card stock to the back to make it stand out from the background. Now everything is looking really busy right? Well I simply added a strip of vellum adhered under the sentiment to break up the background and give some subtle white space while still seeing the stamped background. For that finishing touch I added a scattering of silver Metallic Enamel Shapes.

Serene Scenery with Scenic Sayings and Detailed Dragonflies Card #GDP080

I have had a head cold this week so I am keeping it simple with my cards, it's all my foggy brain can handle. I took on this weeks Global Design Project 080 Case the Designer - the designer is the amazing Louise Sharp. I was inspired my neglected stamp set Scenic Saying and the congrats stamp sun rays that I took the Serene Scenery Paper Stack design with the matching rays to use s my background. I stamped the congrats in Delightful Dijon ink on Whisper White card stock and cut it out using Stitched Shapes Frameilts as well a vellum circle in the larger size. I also took the bee from Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits and cut it in the Big Shot using the Precision Plate out of vellum and coloured it with Delightful Dijon Ink. I added a off cut of the Serene Scenery paper and added the reverse pattern to ground the sentiment.

Close up of the sentiment cluster.

I used the off cut from the Paper Stack to decorate the inside of the card using a sentiment from Banners for You on Vellum punched out with the Banner Punch.

So Very Much, Banners for You and Affectionately Yours Paper Card

The Thank You from the So Very Much stamp set in the Sale-a-Bration brochure makes the perfect hero to any card. For this card I double stamped the Thank You to create a shadow in Night of Navy ink.  I added the scroll from the Banners for You to finish the sentiment on Crushed Curry ink. I created the background using scraps of my Affectionately Yours Speciality Designer Series Paper and added to it a Thick Whisper White card base.

Banners For You, Irresistibly Yours Paper, May Flowers Framelits Card using PPA309

The Irresistibly Yours Speciality Paper has been calling me for a while an today was the day to break it out and pair it with the weeks Pals Paper Art Colour Challenge

To start the card I took out new Sponge Brayer and a piece of the Irresistibly Yours Speciality Paper and inked it with both Sahara Sand and Sweet Sugarplum. I made sure to buff the glaze on the card with a tissue to reveal the pattern on the paper. Using the Big Shot I die cut 2 flowers in Sahara Sand and Island Indigo card stock 2 leaves in Always Artichoke card stock from the May Flower Framelits and scribble in Sweet Sugarplum acrd stock from Swirly Scribbles and attached this to the bottom of the card. I offset the 2 flowers and and added the 2 leaves and attached it over the scribble border. I stamped the banner from the Banners For You in Sahara Sand ink on Vellum and sentiment in Sweet Sugarplum ink and attached it to the card using tomboy multipurpose glue on the shadows so it doesn't show. I attached this piece to an Island Indigo card base to finish the card.

Banners for You with Serene Scenery and Bunch of Banners Framelits Card

I am totally in love with this beach scene paper from the Serene Saying 6x6 Paper Stack. I made this card very simple to showcase it.

I started the card by trimming the 6x6 patterned paper to slightly smaller than card front. Next I stamped the double banner from Banners for You stamp set in Island Indigo ink onto a piece of Vellum and let it dry. Then I bent the words to match the banners on a clear block and stamped them in Crumb Cake ink once this was dry I cut the banner using the matching Bunch of Banners families in the Big Shot using the Magnetic Platform. I adhered this to the card by putting th adhesive behind the solid stamping. To finish off the card I wrapped some Linen Thread around the card above the sentiment to add some extra texture. The card front was the added to a Island Indigo card base.
