Carousel Birthday and Lift Me Up Cupcakes and Carousels Paper Paper GDP 072

I am totally in LOVE with Carousel Horse from the Carousel Birthday stamp set. It takes me right back to some special times in my childhood so I had to create this card with Silver Embossing and Masking using this weeks Global Design Project: Case the Designer for the design of the card.

I chose the cloud patterns from the Cupcakes and Carousels Paper Stack on an Early Espresso card base to start. To create the cloud circle I used our Circle Punches and adding some die cut clouds from the Up & Away Thinlits and sponged them Soft Sky ink  over the circle, then added those clouds to the circle for interest. The Carousel Horse is embossed with Silver on Vellum. I added the masked circle over our sweet Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon and added the sentiment from the Lift me Up stamp set.

Lift Me Up and Up and Away Thinlts Card

I wanted to share this very simple card today. Sometimes the simple cards have the most POP and I love that this card that I shared as a Display Stamper at Onstage Live in November has it.

I have used the Lift me Up Bundle on this card as well and the colours in the Cupcakes and Carousel Paper Stack - Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Peekaboo Peach, So Saffron, Early Espresso. I used these colours of card stock to cut the Background Ballon Shapes in the Up & Away Thinlits with Big Shot and arranged them on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock using Stampin' Dimensionals. I then stamped the Sentiment from Lift me Up in Early Espresso under the Balloon and attached it to an Early Espresso card  to complete the project.

Mini Treat Bag with Glassine and Detailed Dragonfly GDP 071

Sometimes I just get the calling to make a project with NO stamping. GASP! I Know. I Know. But I have been able to showcase so many of our beautiful Stampin' Up! products all in one cute Treat Bag for this weeks Global Design Project Challenge to make a 3D Item.

I started by getting Big Shot ready for a bit of a work out by using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits to out one Rose Red card stock and adhered it together and added a belly band using the Sending Love Glassine. To make the Tag I used the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate cut with the Banners Framelits added a Lace Doily for the base of the Gold Foil Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits and an Elegant Eggplant card stock love from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits. To attach the Tag to the Treat Bag I used our adorable Gold Binder Clips.

A perfect bag for a Love Note or Treat this Valentine's Day

Hey, Chick with Hexagons Dynamic Embossing Card GDP070

I has been forever since I participated in the Global Design Project. A lot has happened -Display Stamper at Onstage in Brisbane, I came home to get my craft room renovated and then all my Christmas cards and craft I do as gifts. So here I am ready to play again with this awesome sketch!!

This week I just had to play with the Sale-A-Bration set Hey, Chick. These chickens are just everything at the moment and are super popular . I stamped them in 2015-2017 In Colours -Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush and Delightful Dijon in a row just hanging around on some Whisper White card stock. I embossed a piece of Smokey Slate with the Hexagons Dynamic Embossing Folder in the Big Shot. The sentiment is stamped on a piece of Delightful Dijon in Smokey Slate ink and placed on a strip of Cucumber Crush card stock. I sponged all the pieces in Smokey Slate Ink and attached them to a Watermelon Wonder card base.

Quick Tip - Lining Up Long Stamps on Clear Blocks

I have had a few questions since I posted my Suite Sentiments and Delicate Details Cardlast week about how I mounted the longer Stamps so straight on the Clear Block. So here is a You Tube Video for you showing how to do it. This tip can also be used of longer sentiment stamps as well.

Ink Smooshing Dragonfly Dreams Card

My fellow demonstrator friend Renae's husband Matt randomly like to set us a #mattschallenge these come about by him randomly picking 4-5 craft items in Renae's craft room and asking us to use them on a project. This Challenge was to use the Dragonfly Dreams Stamp Set, Yellow, Heart Punch/ Framelit and Frayed Ribbon. I started by using the Ink Smooshing Technique on Watercolour paper with Perfect Plum and Rich Razzleberry Ink. I have a video below on showing you how I do the Ink Smooshing technique.

Ink Smooshing Technique Video

To create the rest of the card I stamped the dragonfly in Perfect Plum Ink into Vellum and then covered it in Clear Embossing Powder and melted with our Heat Tool and cut it out using the matching Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits in the Big Shot. I took a small length of our Burlap Ribbon frayed the edge and added it to the card with Fast Fuse. I mounted the dragonfly onto a 1 1/2" punched circle of Rich Razzleberry card that I coated with Clear Wink Of Stella. I added the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry from Dragonfly Dreams and stamped a small Daffodil Delight card strip and stamped in the matching ink with the dotty stamp from the set and placed it onto of the ribbon. I punched out a bunch of hearts using the  Confetti Heart Border Punch and adhered them behind the dragonfly. I matted the Watercolour piece onto Rich Razzleberry card and then a Perfect Plum card base. To add a finishing touch a added Clear Wink of Stella to the wings, hearts and dotty strip.

Urban District with Hexagon Dynamic Embossing Folder Masculine Card

I love nothing more than challenging myself using just one stamp set on a card and sometimes I find it really hard to do! We don't have Father's Day in Australia till early September so really wanted to to use the Urban District Stamp Set to create an all purpose male card. I used the amazingly detailed Hexagon Dynamic Embossing Folder in Tip Taupe as the base and used the "You're the Best" stamped repeatedly in Island Indigo Ink on Island Indigo car and stamped the "Number One" stamp in Mint Marcon Ink on Whisper White card. I added some Metallic touches using Silver Foil, Sequin Trim and 1/8" Ribbon. I layered the embossed piece on Mint Macron card and placed it on a Thick Whisper White card base.
