#GDP368: Gingham Christmas

Time to play along with another Global Design Project challenge! This week the challenge is CASEing the designer, Stesha Bloodhart. I always love her work! Here is the card to CASE:

 

I chose to follow her layout pretty closely, and I used a Kraft note card and Kraft Paper to mimic the Crumb Cake she used on her card. I distressed the edges of the Kraft Paper with my Paper Snips. I think that's the first time I've tried that technique, and I really like it!

 

I paired the Kraft with the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper and the Spruced Up Bundle. This card is simple and sweet!

 

Here is a full list of products used:

Stamps: Spruced Up

Ink: Real Red

Paper: Kraft Note Cards & Envelopes, Kraft Paper, Basic White, Real Red, Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper

Embellishments: Brushed Metallic Dots, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Simply Elegant Trim

Tools: Paper Snips, Spruced Up Outlines Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Happy Stamping!

#GDP361: Watercolor Merry Christmas

This week's challenge at Global Design Project is a color challenge. I couldn't pass up this beautiful color scheme!

 

These colors screamed Christmas to me, and I've been wanting to have a play with the Spruced Up Bundle. Add in a little bit of watercolor, and here's the card I came up with:

 

It's very hard to photograph, but I used an old Wink of Stella brush for my water-coloring, so the background is extra shimmery! I started by using my largest Water Painter and added a good layer of water to Shimmery White Cardstock. Then I used the Wink of Stella brush to add color. 

 

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

Stamps: Spruced Up

Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Parakeet Party, Shaded Spruce

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Shaded Spruce, Shimmery White Cardstock
