Hello and welcome back to my blog. I have a card for you today that I created for the Global Design Project Challenge #291 this week. The challenge this week is a 'theme challenge" featuring a "Birthday" theme.

I decided to use one of the very cute new stamp sets "Stellar Birthday" from the brand new Stampin' Up® Annual Catalogue, and combined it with a whole lot of ink blending and the new "Picture This" Dies.

Instructions:

- Use a piece of Basic Black card for the base A4 cut in half lengthwise and folded.

- Use another slightly smaller piece of Basic White  and attach it to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

- Use a piece of Shimmery White cardstock, and blend the following inks onto it - Bermuda Bay, Polished Pink, Gorgeous Grape, Misty Moonlight and Tuxedo Black using the Blending Brushes. Once happy with the blend, spritz some water and dab off, then splatter some Wink of Stella to create a galaxy/starry look to the card.

- Use the Picture This Dies to cut circles from the blended card. Keep the circles to re-place on the finished card.

- Stamp the sentiment and images from the Stellar Birthday stamp set onto Basic White card and colour with stamping blends. Fussy cut the images out and trim the sentiment. Mat the sentiment onto a piece of Polished Pink card.

- Cut another piece of Basic White card to the same size as the blended Shimmery White card. Stamp some of the stars in the Stellar Birthday stamp set onto the Basic White using Tuxedo Black corresponding with the smaller circles in the blended card. Use the Blending Brushes to add some of the previous ink colours to it, and colour the stars with Highland Heather blends. Attach this piece to the blended card with Liquid Glue. 

- Attach the larger die cut circles back onto the blended card into their correspond die cut holes (rotated to add interest), using Stampin' Dimensionals. Attach the sentiment and the images onto the larger circles using Stampin' Dimensionals.

- Use Wink of Stella on the Rocket image and the smaller circles. 

- Adhere some 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels to the  card.

As always, I find that the shimmer on the card never really photographs well, so I have added a quick video below to show you some of the shine on the card.

Hello again and welcome back! So I couldn't help myself and had to create another card for a couple of challenges again this week. I absolutely love bright colours and the new products from the Stampin' Up!® 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue, just invite me to use them. I entered this card into two challenges this week. Firstly the TGIF Challenge Blog - #TGIFC315 - Colour Challenge and also the The Spot Creative Challenge - Spot Challenge 160 - Congratulations.  

This card just uses some simple stamping and colouring. I used the Dasiy Garden Stamp Set and Stampin' Blends to colour the flowers. The colours for the #TGIFC315 Colour Challenge are Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight and Magenta Madness.

Instructions:

- Stamp the Daisy Garden stamp (using a Stamparatus) onto Basic White card using Tuxedo Black ink.

- Colour the flowers using the Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight and Magenta Madness Stampin' Blends. Colour the leaves and stalks using Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends.

- Flick Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight and Magenta Madness inks onto the card to add dimension to the background. Attach the card front to the card base using Liquid Glue.

- Stamp the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set using Tuxedo Black onto Basic White card. Mat this piece with Basic Black card and attach to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. 

- Add some Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card.

- Use a piece of Basic White on the inside of the card.

The theme this and every month is 'Thank You'. Below there is a button where you can visit the gallery and vote for your five favourite cards (I am hoping mine will be one of your favourites 😊!).

I used the Flowers of Friendship Stamp set and combined it with the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper and some of the new In Colour Ribbon and Twine. These beautiful new products are releasing today with the brand new 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. 

Instructions:

Use a piece of Pale Papaya card stock for the card base . Use a piece of Soft Succulent and emboss with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder and then attach it to the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Use a piece of Hand-Penned 12" x 12 " DSP, splatter some Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent ink onto the DSP and then adhere to the Soft Succulent card using Liquid Glue. Adhere a square vellum doily to the DSP using small amounts of Liquid Glue.

Stamp the flower from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set onto Basic White card. Colour the image with Pale Papaya Stampin' Blends and the leaves with Soft Succulent Blends. Fussy cut the image out. Wrap some Bakers Twine and Pale Papaya Open Weave ribbon around the stem of the flower in a bow, then adhere the stamped flower onto the vellum doily using Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set onto a small strip of Basic White using Tuxedo Black ink, then adhere this onto the card using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. 

Add some Genial Gems to the card on the DSP Layer

Measurements:

- Pale Papaya card base A4/Letter cut in half lengthwise and folded
