#GDP353: Color Challenge

This week's challenge at Global Design Challenge is a color challenge.

Aren't those colors beautiful together?! I pulled out an oldie but goodie stamp set for this challenge - the Whale Done stamp set.

 

This card is pretty sweet and simple, and I didn't use nearly as much Blackberry Bliss as I thought I would - that rich, deep purple is one of my favorites! The Iridescent Pearls make perfect bubbles, and I love that little heart stamp as a subtle background on the card base.

 

 

Here is a full list of products used on this card:

Stamps: Whale Done

Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Bermuda Bay, Soft Sea Foam

Paper: Soft Sea Foam, Bermuda Bay, Basic White

Embellishments: Iridescent Pearls

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals

Happy Stamping!

#tgifc377: Christmas in July

If you've been following me for awhile, you know that I love to craft for Christmas all year. So this week's challenge at TGIF Challenges was a fun one for me!

 

I used a few Sale-a-bration products and a non-traditional Christmas color combination - Starry Sky and Fresh Freesia is such a pretty combo, don't you think?!

 

The Tree Lots Dies were used to cut out the snowy trees, as well as the silver stars. This is a HUGE die set that you can get for free with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-bration. I'm not sure the photos show it well, but I added some Wink of Stella to the trees. They sparkle just like the fresh snow does in winter!

 

The other Sale-a-bration product I used is the silver polka dot paper in the background. This paper is part of the Silver & Gold 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper pack, free with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration.

 

Here is a full list of products used on this card:

Stamps: Brightest Glow

Ink: Fresh Freesia, Starry Sky

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Starry Sky, Watercolor Paper, Silver Foil 12" x 12" Specialty Pack, Silver & Gold 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper

Tools: Tree Lots Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Water Painters, Wink of Stella

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Happy Stamping!

#GDP351: Wonderful World Thank You

 This week's challenge at Global Design Project is a theme challenge:

Such a fun theme, don't you think?! My mind immediately went to the hexagons in the Hello Beautiful Bundle. I've had this bundle for awhile, but hadn't used it yet. I paired it with the beautiful Wonderful World DSP.

 

This paper can be earned as a free reward with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-bration. You'll also get a stamp set that coordinates with the paper. BUT the stamp set doesn't include any sentiments, so as part of your order, I suggest picking a bundle or stamp set that includes some sentiments you could use with the paper and the floral images in the free stamp set.

 

 

Here is a full list of supplies I used on this card:

Stamps: Hello Beautiful

Ink: Starry Sky

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Starry Sky, Wonderful World DSP

Embellishments: 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots, 2022-2024 In Color Baker's Twine

Tools: Beautiful Shapes Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

Happy Stamping!
