Hello again! Today's card is one I have entered into the Global Design Project CASE the Designer Challenge #GDP296. This week the challenge is to CASE the amazing Emma Goddard (Coastal Crafter).

When I created this card, I decided to use my favourite bundle of the moment, the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle. I combined it with the Pattern Party Designer Series Papers and the Forever Flourishing Dies. I was inspired by the border in Emma's original card and the subtle Smoky Slate Butterflies which provided the colour inspiration for background of the card and the sentiment.

Instructions:

- Stamp (with Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White card) and die cut the large floral using the Hand-Penned Bundle. Colour the image using the 2021-2023 In-Colour Stampin' Write Marker and a Blender Pen. 

- Use the Forever Flourishing Dies to die cut some Vellum leaves. Attach the leaves and the gold Simply Elegant trim to the card using Glue Dots. Attach the floral image over the top of the leaves and trim using Stampin' Dimensionals.

- Stamp the sentiment from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set onto a strip of Basic White card. Fussy cut this out and then attach to a piece of Smoky Slate card stock and fussy cut this also. Attach the sentiment to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals

- Add some 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels to the front of the card.

Hello again! Today's card is for the TGIF Challenge Blog - #TGIFC320 - Sketch Challenge. I decided to use the very cute Hey Chick stamp set for this sketch challenge. I have had this set for a little while but this was the first time I have used it. I have been enjoying my recent animal cards, as it allows me to do a bit of colouring with my Stampin' Blends.

The products I used include the Hey Chick and Artistically Inked stamp sets, Stampin' Blends as well as the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (Stampin' Up!® Host Rewards paper).

Instructions:

- Use the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch to cut three rectangles from Basic White card. Use the Artistically Inked stamp with Crushed Curry to add some interest to the rectangles. Edge the rectangles with Sahara Sand Stampin' Write Marker. 

- Stamp with sentiment from the Hey Chick stamp set onto a small strip of Basic White card and mat onto the reverse side of the Pattern Party DSP. Attach the smaller Basic White card to the DSP with Liquid Glue then wrap some twine around. Attach the card/DSP to the card base with Liquid Glue. 

- Attach the Rectangles to the card with Liquid Glue. Attach the Chicken and Eggs to the rectangles with Stampin' Dimensionals. Attach the sentiment to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. Attach a smaller piece of twine tied into a knot and fray the edges to add interest.

Hello again! I have two cards today. I love the variety of stamps in the new 2021-2022 Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalogue and one very versatile set is the Stellar Birthday stamp set. This set is being highlighted this week by Stampin' Through The Catalog so I thought it was a perfect opportunity to make some cards. 

For the first card, I wanted to make a simple card using Designer Series Paper to create my starry background. I also used Stampin' Blends and some pieces of left over die cut pieces from THIS card, which I used to create the effect of planets.

Instructions:

It was hard to photograph the texture and sparkle from the embossing, so I thought I would film this short video to illustrate it better.

For my second card, I wanted to show a background created using ink blending and heat embossing as well as having some fun colouring with Stampin' Blends.

Instructions:

- Use a piece of Gorgeous Grape card A4 cut in half lengthwise and folded. Attach a smaller piece of Basic White.

- Use a piece of Shimmery White card and using Blending Brushes blend multiple shades of pink, purple and blue inks on to the card (see below for product list). Stamp the stars again from the Stellar Birthday set using Versamark Ink onto the blended background. Heat emboss with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Allow this to be purposefully messy to give more of a realistic starry background.

- Stamp the rockets and sentiment using Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White card. Fussy cut the rockets out and colour with Stampin' Blends (see product list below). Mat the sentiment onto a piece of Gorgeous Grape card. Attach both the sentiment and rockets to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.

- Add some diamond shaped Silver and clear Epoxy Essentials to the card to mimic more stars.
