Timeless Textures and Mixed Borders with GDP #033 Colour Challenge

I have been missing in action due to school holiday but I am back in action with this week's Global Design Project - Colour Challenge #033 and a look at a new stamp set

I started the project with a piece of Thick Whisper White card stock slightly smaller than  the card front. I took the 3 ink pads for the colour challenge, Sahara Sand, Calypso Coral and Night of Navy and sponged them onto the card stock with a wedge of out Stampin' Sponges for each colour making sure to overlap/blend the colours into each other. Next I took the Timeless Textures scratched stamp and stamped off each colour before stamping onto each sponged colour. I stamped a number of the stamps from the Timeless Textures stamp set in Sahara Sand around and on a diagonal on the card to finish the background. I also stamped off these stamped on a same sized piece of Thick Whisper White card stock for the inside panel. I stamped the sentiment from Mixed Borders into a scrap of Thick Whisper White in Calypso Coral and punch with our 2" circle punch. I used the excess ink from my sponges to create a softer but similar background on the sentiment and the inside panel. I mounted the card front to a Night of Navy card base with Stampin' Dimensionals and sentiment also on Stampin Dimensionals. The inside panel was adhered to the inside using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

You can how my design process works, hints and some chat with friends by watching the video for how I made this card on Periscope till 6pm Wednesday 27th April

Botanical Blooms and Crazy For You Stamps with Botanical Builder and Deco Label Framelits with GDP #031

This is card for an upcoming class that I cased from Jackie Bolhuis and it suited the Global Design Project Nature Theme challenge this week perfectly 

To start the card I cut and scored a card base and card front slightly smaller than the card from from Thick Whisper White card stock. I the took a scrap of the same card stock and die cut a deco label with the Big Shot. I also die cut 2 Pink Pirouette flowers and 2 leaves in Old Olive and flower centres with Melon Mambo from the Botanical Builder Framelits and embossed the card front with the Honeycomb embossing folder. I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede from the Crazy for You stamp set, I also stamped the leaved in Old Olive from the Botanical Blooms stamp set. To start assembling the card I adhered the embossed piece to the card from and wrapped some Gold Thread around the Deco Label die cut and adhered using doubled up Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish the card off I assembled the flowers and leaves and to add a touch of sparkle I added rhinestones to the flower centres and clear Wink of Stellar to the inner petals of the flowers.

Shine On and Pretty Petals Paper Card using Mojo Monday #442 with Video

I have wanted to use the cloud pattern in the Shine On Specialty Paper for ages so much so the pack has been siting on my desk waiting. Today was the day with the Mojo Monday Sketch and Pretty Petals Paper Stack

I started this card with the foiled cloud patterned paper from the Shine On Specialty Paper the size of a card front.  I decided to use a piece of Vellum as the second layer so I wouldn't loose the clouds in the specialty paper but there is still a layer. Next I chose the 2 patterns from the Pretty Petals 6x6 Paper Stack and trimmed the smaller pattern into a small rectangle and Punched a 2 1/2" circle from he large floral pattern as per the Mojo Monday sketch. I grabbed my snaps of silver glimmer paper and punch a flag end with the Banner Punch on a thin piece. I attached the patterned paper and glimmer paper pieced to the Vellum piece and then I used adhesive behind these pieces to where the vellum to the card so you can't see the adhesive. To finish off the card I adhered the card front to a Thick Whisper White card and  tied a piece of Very Vanilla Seam Binding Ribbon into a bo and attached it to the card with a glue dot.

You can how my design process works, hints and some chat with friends by watching the video for how I made this card on Periscope till 5pm Sunday 10th April or on Katch.

No Bones About It stamp and Go Wild paper with GDP #030

It has been while since I posted due to last week being a shorter week and work and getting my tax getting in the way. 

But It is a new week and I am back with a NEW card using this weeks challenge which is a sketch challenge from the Global Design Project

To start the designing process I chose the Go Wild Paper Stack and the No Bones About It stamp set. I chose the 2 patterns used on this card and trimmed the black and white pattern to slightly larger than a card front and attached to a Thick Whisper White card base and trimmed the excess patterned paper. To create the banner I measured the dinosaur I used and made the Whisper White card stock a touch wider and then the Tip Top Taupe striped piece half a centimetre wider than that again. I stamped the dinosaur from No Bones About It in Cucumber Crush and added the sentiment in Archival Basic Black ink also from the set. I edged both pieces in Tip Tip Taupe Ink and adhered them together. I cut a leaf from the Botanical Builder Framelits set in the Big Shot using Tip Top Taupe card stock. I them added detail using the Botanical Blooms stamp set in Cucumber Crush ink and attached the pieces the back of the patterned paper and stamped piece. This whole piece was them adhered to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. I finished the card by stamping the inside. You can see this on the below video.

You can watch a video and chat on how I made these cards on Periscope till 5pm Wednesday 6th April or on Katch.
