It's time to design for my monthly card class, and I love a good sketch to get me started! The Global Design Project has a sketch challenge this week, so I decided to play along.
I used the Woven Threads DSP and sequins, and Itty Bitty Greetings seemed perfect for adding a small sentiment. Those who attend my class will have the option of switching out the sentiment and the DSP to make the card their own.
Those Woven Threads Sequins are just so pretty!
I hope you like my card, and there is plenty of time left if you'd like to play along with the challenge too!
Stamps: Itty Bitty Greetings
Ink: Terracotta Tile
Paper: Whisper White, Terracotta Tile, Woven Threads DSP
Embellishments: Terracotta Tile Scalloped Linen Ribbon, White Baker's Twine, Woven Threads Sequins

Happy Stamping!

Happy Friday! Today's card is the other card I created for the swap I participated in earlier this summer. I realized that I never shared it here, and I wouldn't want you to miss out on this pretty card!
I used one of my favorite new stamp sets, Above the Clouds, and another favorite - purple! I combined Highland Heather ink with Purple Posy paper, and those beautiful Woven Threads Sequins. Add in the Stitched Shapes Dies and the scalloped border from the Seasonal Layers Dies, and you have a card full of my favorite things!

Today I am sharing with you the cards I made for my In Color Club this month. I used the Modern Heart stamp set, one of my favorites!
Here's a close up of each color.
Terracotta Tile
Rococo Rose
Purple Posy
Seaside Spray
Pretty Peacock
I even used Purple Posy ink for the first time! Stampin' Up! has had some quality issues with this ink, so it has been unavailable. They have let us know that they finally have the issues worked out, so it should be available soon! But here is a workaround - the Purple Posy Stampin' Write Marker IS available, and I used it to color my stamps. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner! I am loving the purple! Which color is your favorite? Comment and let me know!

If you're a part of my Facebook group, you saw a sneak peek of these cards on Saturday night. Today, I am sharing all of them! Members of my In Color Club receive one of these in their color of the month. Aren't they cute?
I just love these little dinosaurs, and I think they look great in the In Colors! Since Purple Posy ink is still out of stock, I have been substituting Highland Heather, and I think it complements the Purple Posy paper perfectly. Now here's the hard part - which color do you like the dinosaur in best? I don't know if I can pick!

Pretty Peacock

Today's card features products from the Dinoroar Suite. This is my favorite suite of products in the new catalog! I suppose part of that is that I have young children, and quite a few nieces and nephews, but even if I didn't, I think I would still like it. The dinosaurs are so cute, and who can resist the cute sayings like "You're Rawrsome!"
This card was created as part of a challenge in my business training group, and I won! I was really excited, because this card was really fun to make, and I love how it turned out. I have many more ideas for these products, so you'll be seeing these little dinosaurs again. Here's a close up of all those details - of course I had to use the Woven Threads Sequins again!

On Saturday, I'll be holding my new catalog kick off party as well as a big BOGO sale with my retired products. If you're coming, you may want to skip this post for now. The card I'm sharing today is the one we'll be making Saturday!
I recently participated in a card swap, and I CASEd this card from one I received back with the swaps. The swap card was designed by Kristina Rees. Here's the one she sent - I love it!
I don't have Free as a Bird yet, so I decided to substitute what I do have - Above the Clouds.
I watercolored with Seaside Spray on Shimmery White Cardstock, and of course I had to use the Woven Threads Sequins and White Baker's Twine again. (You'll be seeing them in my next post too...) I'm starting to think I can't create a card without those sequins anymore. They're just that good!
Stamps: Above the Clouds
Ink: Seaside Spray, Rococo Rose, Soft Suede, Pretty Peacock
Paper: Whisper White, Shimmery White, 2019-2021 In Color DSP Stack
Embellishments: Woven Threads Sequins, White Baker's Twine
Tools: Aquapainter, Hot Air Balloon Punch, Stitched Shapes Dies
Adhesives: SNAIL, Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals

If you follow me on Facebook, you saw a post last week about a color challenge my upline issued. I don't always have time to participate in her challenges, but she gives away a prize to a random person who participates, and this time the prize was a pack of Magnolia Lane Memories & More cards. Free stuff motivates me, especially pretty things like these cards, which happen to be on backorder right now. So... I had to participate! This was the color challenge:
And here is the card I created:
The Modern Heart stamp set is one of my favorites from the new catalog. And I have been using the Woven Thread Sequins and White Baker's Twine on ALL my projects recently! I love how this card turned out, and I hope you do, too!

One thing I've been doing a lot recently is CASEing the catalog. (CASEing basically means to copy. Copy and selectively edit is my favorite definition.) When you are looking for inspiration, or don't know where to begin with a stamp set, the catalog is a great place to go! This card features the Above the Clouds Bundle and several of the new In Colors.
Have you picked a favorite out of the new catalog yet? This bundle is definitely one of mine!
Stamps: Above the Clouds
Ink: Seaside Spray, Highland Heather, Terracotta Tile, Crumb Cake, Gorgeous Grape
Paper: Whisper White
Embellishments: Woven Threads Sequins, White Baker's Twine
Tools: Hot Air Balloon Punch

Happy Stamping!
