#GDP355: Birthday Piggy

There is a theme challenge at Global Design Project this week:

I knew right away that I wanted to play with my brand new This Birthday Piggy stamp set and Playful Piggy Dies (available to customers next month).

 

This stamp set is so fun, but the dies make it AMAZING! To be honest, I don't spend a long time on most of my cards. They're pretty sweet and simple (and quick!). This one took a little bit longer, but it was really enjoyable to try out lots of the dies and build a scene.

 

The Playful Piggy Dies will be available to customers next month, while supplies last. OR you can get them now by adding them to a starter kit. There are also five other die sets coming that coordinate with stamp sets in the annual and mini catalog. SO fun! 

 

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

#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!
