#GDP417: Make the Season Sparkle

This week it's a color challenge at Global Design Project - my favorite!

 

These colors are such a pretty combination, don't you think? I used the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set and the beautiful Snowflake Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper to create my card.

 

The snowflakes in this stamp set fit some of our circle punches perfectly! I used the 2", 1 3/4", and 1 3/8" (retired) Circle Punches. 

 

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

Stamps: Sparkling Snowflakes

Ink: Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Snowflake Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper

Embellishments: Rhinestones, Silver & White 1/2" Sheer Ribbon

Tools: 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, 2" Circle Punch, Stylish Shapes Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Happy Stamping!

#GDP415: Patterned Fall Card

The challenge at Global Design Project this week is a theme challenge.

 

I chose to create a pattern with Designer Series Paper. It was a little time-consuming, but I love the result!

 

Can you guess which Designer Series Paper I used? It's an Online Exclusive paper - One Horse Open Sleigh. Of course it's meant as a Christmas paper, but the patterns I chose work well for this fall-themed card.

 

I started with a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4" x 5 1/4". I cut 1-inch squares of the Designer Series Paper in half to create my triangles, and then just glued them down until the entire piece of cardstock was covered. Start with the center triangle at the top and work your way out and down. I ended up trimming the entire piece down to 3 3/4" x 5" after I was done.

 

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

Stamps: Autumn Leaves

Ink: Early Espresso

Paper: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Basic White, Gold Foil, One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper

Embellishments: Simply Elegant Trim, Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins

Tools: Autumn Leaves Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

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

Happy Stamping!
