#GDP228: Lily Pad Thank You

Today's card was inspired by the challenge at Global Design Project, and a color challenge issued by my upline. I loved both, so I combined them in this beautiful card!




I drew several elements from Charlet's card - the Scripty embossing folder is used on a piece of vellum, backed by Whisper White cardstock. I arranged my lilies on the left side of the card, and used a 'thanks' sentiment from the Seriously the Best stamp set. 


What is your favorite element on this card? I used so many of my favorites! Comment and let me know.

Stamps: Seriously the Best, Lovely Lily Pad
Ink: Gorgeous Grape, Pear Pizzazz
Paper: Sahara Sand, Gorgeous Grape, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, Vellum, Sparkle Glimmer Paper
Embellishments: White Baker's Twine, Woven Threads Sequins
Tools: Scripty EF, Lily Pad Dies
Adhesives: SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Glue

Happy Stamping!

January 2020 Paper Pumpkin: I'll Bee Yours Alternative

I am definitely a last minute crafter most days. How about you? Since tomorrow is Valentine's Day, I spent the afternoon working on some of mine. January's Paper Pumpkin kit, I'll Bee Yours, was the perfect starting point!



This is the intended use for the kit - and I didn't even put them all together! I added some Ghiradelli chocolate hearts for the teachers at my kids' school. Yum!




Then I moved on to the kids' treats. We found inexpensive heart lollipops, and I used the stamps in the kit, along with a bee cut from the Golden Honey Specialty paper, the Heart Punch Pack, and the Gingham Gala Sequins. 


I did four different color designs, and I love how they turned out! I don't think the kids in Kindergarten and 2nd grade are going to appreciate them as much as I do. Ha! But I enjoyed making them, and that's what counts, right?



Here's a full supply list:
Stamps: I'll Bee Yours
Ink: Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo
Paper: Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White, Golden Honey Specialty DSP
Embellishments: Gingham Gala Sequins
Tools: Heart Punch Pack, Detailed Bee Dies
Adhesives: SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

Happy Stamping!

Painted Poppies Tiny Treat Bag

Today's project is cute and fun! I was looking for projects using 6 x 6" paper to showcase the paper sampler that you can get for free in a starter kit during Sale-a-bration, and I found this cute treat bag from Pootles' Papercraft. You can follow the link to see the measurements and instructions, but it's really easy to put together!


These bags are small - perfect for a few Hershey's kisses or Dove chocolates (think Valentine's Day!). They are also a great size for party or wedding favors. 


I used a regular hole punch to punch one hole through the paper at the top, and then put my ribbon through and tied a bow. You could also use a binder clip.


If you'd like to see how I put this project together, you can check out the video here.

Stamps: Painted Poppies, Itty Bitty Greetings
Ink: Poppy Parade, Memento Black
Paper: Peaceful Poppies DSP, Whisper White
Embellishments: Peaceful Poppies Sequins, Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon
Tools: Pretty Label Punch, 1 1/2" Circle Punch, Paper Trimmer, Hole Punch
Adhesives: Tear and Tape, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

Happy Stamping!
