#GDP258: Here for You

Did you read last week's post about the Get & Go promotion? You can get two free stamp sets added on to your starter kit this month! One of those stamp sets is called So Much Love, and I used it for today's card. I was inspired by the sketch at Global Design Project this week, although I didn't follow it exactly. I still love how the card turned out!

 

It might be hard to see in the photos, but I added Wink of Stella to the flowers, and it makes the card that much prettier! The large flowers in this stamp set can be stamped tone on tone for a nice background, or you can use a variety of mediums to color them. I chose to use Stampin' Blends this time, and Seaside Spray was an obvious choice because it's one of my favorite colors.

 

The card is finished off with some of the Seaside Spray sequins from the Woven Threads Sequins. Here is everything I used:

Stamps: So Much Love

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin' Blends: Seaside Spray, Old Olive

Paper: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Seaside Spray, In Good Taste DSP

Embellishments: Woven Threads Sequins

Tools: Wink of Stella, Stitched So Sweetly Dies

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals, Multipurpose Glue

Happy Stamping!

You're Cute as a Bug

I have such a fun card to share with you today! This card was one I did for a swap way back in January, but I haven't had the chance to share it here yet. 

I used colors from the Brights family to create my rainbow, and there are several fun little details - the little row of bugs is stamped in Versamark for a subtle background, and I went over the ladybug with Wink of Stella for some extra sparkle!

We made this card at my card class in January as well, and everyone loved it! Remember, you can earn this stamp set for free by hosting a qualifying party this month, or when you place a $300 order in my online store. Don't wait - there's only a few weeks left!

Stamps: Little Ladybug
Ink: Memento Black, Stampin' Blends Markers: Dark Poppy Parade, Versamark
Paper: Whisper White, Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape
Embellishments: Glitter Enamel Dots, Gorgeous Grape Mini Striped Ribbon
Tools: Stitched Shapes Dies, Wink of Stella

#TGIFC107 Hugs for a Great Friend

This week, I am participating in the TGIF Challenges theme challenge, a sympathy or get well card.

I love all of my retiring products, but those new ones are just so fun to play with! I had to pull out the Lovely Words Thinlits and the Lovely Inside & Out stamp set for this challenge because I thought they fit the theme perfectly. I didn't think I needed this bundle from the new catalog, but then Stampin' Up! shared a video with demonstrators that showed samples using these products, and I couldn't resist any longer!

 

Today's card is actually a fancy fold card. Check it out!

To recreate it, cut an 8" x 8" square of cardstock. Then score at 4" on both sides, and cut out one of the squares. Easy peasy, and so fun!


It's hard to tell, but I wanted to add a little bit of extra sparkle to match the Glitter Enamel dots, so I got out my Wink of Stella and painted over the "hugs" cut-out. I also used Wink of Stella on my White Baker's Twine. It's very subtle, but adds just a little bit of sparkle, and who doesn't love that?!

The final thing I love about this card? The color combination! Whisper White, Basic Black, Berry Burst, and Powder Pink. You'll be seeing more of those colors around here because it's my new favorite!

I hope you enjoyed today's card, and the sneak peek of all of these fun new products!


Stamps: Lovely Inside & Out
Ink: Powder Pink (stamped off once), Berry Burst
Paper: Whisper White, Berry Burst, Pick a Pattern DSP
Accessories & Tools: Lovely Words Thinlits, Big Shot, Glitter Enamel Dots, White Baker's Twine, Wink of Stella

Happy Stamping!

I thought I would share the full card with you today, but you'll have to join my Facebook group to see any future projects from my live videos there. :)
