Here For You - Framed Florets and Sending Support - GDP380 - Case the Designer

Monday, February 06, 2023

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for Global Design Project's GDP380 Case the Designer Challenge . This week we are CASEing the amazing Janneke Dijkstra - de Jong. Janneke makes the fantastic CAS cards, and I was inspired particularly by her layout and colours.

For my card, I used the Framed Florets (flowers & leaves) and Sending Support (Sale-a-bration sentiment set) Stamp Sets, coloured the images with Stampin' Blends and added some ink blending and For Everything Fancy Sequins.

Instructions:

- Use a piece of Basic White A4 card, cut in half lengthwise and folded. Layer with a piece of Daffodil Delight card and then a piece of Basic White with Daffodil Delight ink applied softly with a Blending Brush.

- Stamp the floral and leaf images from the Frame Florets stamp set using Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White and fussy cut out all of the images. Colour the images with Stampin' Blends (Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Polished Pink, Pool Party) and adhere.

- Stamp a sentiment from the Sending Support stamp set onto a strip of Basic White using Tuxedo Black ink and add to the card. Add some For Everything Fancy Sequins to complete.

Celebrate - Framed Florets & Quiet Meadow - CAS on Friday

Friday, February 03, 2023

Hello and welcome back to my blog! My card for today is for this week's CAS on Friday Challenge #250 theme which is "Ink Splatter".

I used the Framed Florets stamp set, the Quiet Meadow stamp set for the dotted splatter and use Stampin' Blends to colour the images and also on a plastic sheet with rubbing alcohol to create the splattered background effect.

Make sure to visit the blog HERE to see the rest of the team's projects.

Instructions:

- Use a piece of Basic Gray A4 card, cut in half lengthwise. Use a piece of Basic White, and scribble some Pale Papaya Stampin' Blends onto a plastic sheet (eg plastic packaging) and then spray this with rubbing alcohol and apply the packaging to the card to apply colour. Keep adding colour until sufficient amounts have been applied.

- Use the splatter stamp from the Quiet Meadow set with Pale Papaya ink and stamping onto the Basic White card to add more details.

- Stamp the larger floral image and leaves from the Framed Florets stamp set and fussy cut. Colour with Stampin' Blends (Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron, Mint Macaron and Soft Succulent) and adhere to the card.

- Stamp a sentiment from the Framed Florets set using Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White card and adhere. Finally add some Polished Dots to finish.

Global Design Project Love Cats Saying Thanks Kit

I Love You - Love Cats - GDP379 Theme Challenge - Love

Monday, January 30, 2023

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for Global Design Project's GDP379 Theme Challenge . This week we have a theme challenge about “LOVE”. I decided it was all about the hearts for me.

For my card, I used the Love Cats Stamp Set, Country Floral Lane DSP and the pre-cut heart piece from the Saying Thanks Kit. I stamped the cat in an orange tone (Mango Melody Ink) to mimic my own cat (see her below) and used Stampin’ Write Markers to add a little detailing. It’s not an exact replica, but it certainly reminds me of her when I look at the card.

Instructions:

- Use a piece of Sweet Sorbet card (US Letter Size to match the kit), cut in half lengthwise and folded. Take a piece of the pre-cut heart paper from the Saying Thanks Kit and pop out hearts to create a heart shaped design and layer onto a piece of the striped Country Floral Lane DSP. Adhere the pieces to the card base.

- Stamp the cat image from the Love Cats Stamp Set onto Basic White using Mango Melody ink. Add some detailing with Mango Melody and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write markers and colour the heart with Mango Melody and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Write Markers.

- Stamp a sentiment from the Love Cats stamp set onto a strip of Basic Black using Versamark ink, heat emboss with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Cut the sentiment down to create a new sentiment and adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add some Matte Black Dots to complete.

Just Add Ink Share A Milkshake

Celebrate - Share A Milkshake - JAI637 Just Add Ink - Sketch Challenge

Thursday, January 26, 2023

Hello again and welcome back to my blog! I have another Just Add Ink Design Team post for you today. This week's challenge is Just Add Ink #JAI637 Just Add A Sketch Challenge

I decided to use the Share A Milkshake bundle with the Delicate Desert DSP, Layering Circles Dies, the Very Best Trio Punch and Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles (retired). I cut down the Delicate Desert DSP and raised the top and bottom piece with Stampin' Dimensionals to create additional details.

Click HERE if you would like to be taken straight to my store if you would like to shop any of these items.

Instructions:

- Use an A4 piece of Basic White, cut in half lengthwise and folded. Use a piece of the Delicate Desert DSP and cut into 4 pieces like the sketch. Adhere the side pieces to a piece of Basic White card with Liquid Glue. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to elevate the top and bottom pieces. Round the corners of the DSP/ Basic White card using the Very Best Trio Punch and adhere to the card base.

- Die cut a circle using the Layering Circles Dies and Basic White card. Use a die cut lattice piece (using the Share A Milkshake Dies and Basic White card) and lightly apply Pale Papaya ink using a Small Blending Brush onto the die cut circle.

- Stamp images from the Share A Milkshake stamp set using Early Espresso and Blushing Bride ink and fussy cut with Paper Snips. Stamp cherries from the set using Sweet Sorbet ink and use a Black Stampin' Write Marker to create the stalks. Use the Share A Milkshake die and die cut the cone from Crumb Cake card, lattice from Basic White and stamped cherries. Adhere all the pieces to the die cut circle.

- Stamp the sentiment from the Share A Milkshake stamp set onto Basic White card using Flirty Flamingo ink. Add some Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles to the card.
