Happy Day - Lift Me Up Bundle with Cupcakes and Carousels Card #GDP079

If you haven't noticed I am totally in LOVE with the Cupcake and Carousels Paper Stack. This card goes perfectly meets this week's Global Design Project 079 Theme Challenge: Amusement Park. I started with the Bermuda Bay Rays paper and took the Up and Away Thinlits clouds and die cut them in Big Shot along with a Calypso Coral and Peekaboo Peach Hot Air Balloons from the Lift me Up stamp set. I stamped the cupcake Ferris Wheel also from the same set in Early Espresso ink on another of the patterns of paper and hand cut it out. I added the swirly pattern from the same paper stack behind the die cut clouds. I added the Happy Day sentiment from the Perfectly Wrapped stamp set. The hot air balloons  were added on Stampin' Dimensionals and as a finishing touch I used some matching Enamel Shapes.

You've Got This, Diagonal Stripe, Perfectly Wrapped Card with WWYS #67 and GDP #039

I have a confession the You've Got This stamp set has long been neglected on my stamp self since last year, I even had a friend recently mention I should use it more and low and behold it was the stamp of the What Will You Stamp? challenge blog this week and I have teamed it up with the Global Design Project theme challenge - Get Well Soon

To start the card I stamped the flower from the You've Got This stamp set in Basic Black Archival Ink on Thick White card stock. I then took 3 of our NEW 2016-2018 In Color Ink Pads - Sweet Sugar Plum, Emerald Envy and Peekaboo Peach. I used our Blender Pens to colour in the flower. Next I took our new Diagonal background stamp and Ombre Rich Razzleberry Ink Pad. When using the Ombre Ink pad I ensured to ink up the stamp in a circular motion so you don't get the harsh lines of the individual colours in the pad. For the last layer I took a strip of Sweet Sugarplum card stock and stamped it with the dots from the Perfectly Wrapped in Sweet Sugarplum ink. I layered these stamped pieces together on a Thick Whisper White card stock. I stamped the sentiment from You've Got This onto a piece of vellum in Rich Razzleberry ink and wrapped that around the card to finish it off.

Mixed Borders, Papillon Potpourri, Perfectly Wrapped Card with Global Design Project #038

I have been struggling with my mojo and time this week. So have taken on the Global Design Project Sketch Challenge #038 to help me climb out!! and I am fairly happy with the result 

I started by grabbing the Mixed Borders Stamp Set and the new 2016-2018 In Colours. I stamped the flower border in Sweetsugar Plum, Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo directly next to each other on a piece of Whisper White card stock. Next I took the leaf border and stamped it with Emerald Envy on top of the flower Borders. They are made to work together!!! I adhered this piece to a Thick Whisper White card base. I then took the Sweet Sugarplum card stock and made it the height of my card base and measured from the border piece to the edge of the card base to get those pieces the right width. I stamped the circle stamp from Perfectly Wrapped set in Versa Mark ink over both Sweet Sugarplum pieces. When I placed these pieces against the border stamping I felt they really clashed so I added a piece of vellum over the border stampin adhering it in the break in the border. This really helped a lot. I adhered the dot stamped pieces with NEW Foam Adhesive Strips (these are double the height of our Stampin' Dimensionals) to each side of the vellum covered border. I stamped the sentiment from Mixed Borders set in Dapper Denim on Dapper Denim card stock. I quickly covered this in clear embossing poor and melted it to give a touch of shine. this was punched out with this with the 1 3/4" Circle punch and matted it on a 2" circle punched Peekaboo Peach and Vellum and adhered them all together with Fast Fuse and to the card with triple layer Stampin' Dimensionals so it is higher that the Sweet Sugarplum pieces. As a final touch I stamped a butterfly from Papillon Potpourri in Dapper Denim ink onto vellum and covered it Clear embossing powder again to match the sentiment and punched it out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch and shared it using a Glue Dot folded in half.
