#GDP351: Wonderful World Thank You

 This week's challenge at Global Design Project is a theme challenge:

Such a fun theme, don't you think?! My mind immediately went to the hexagons in the Hello Beautiful Bundle. I've had this bundle for awhile, but hadn't used it yet. I paired it with the beautiful Wonderful World DSP.

 

This paper can be earned as a free reward with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-bration. You'll also get a stamp set that coordinates with the paper. BUT the stamp set doesn't include any sentiments, so as part of your order, I suggest picking a bundle or stamp set that includes some sentiments you could use with the paper and the floral images in the free stamp set.

 

 

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

Stamps: Hello Beautiful

Ink: Starry Sky

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Starry Sky, Wonderful World DSP

Embellishments: 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots, 2022-2024 In Color Baker's Twine

Tools: Beautiful Shapes Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

Happy Stamping!

#TGIFC369: New Catalog Inspiration

I'm playing along with the challenge at TGIF Challenges again this week, and this week is a fun one! 

 

It's not hard to be inspired by the new catalog, so I used a few of my favorite products:

• Decorative Circle Punch
• Design a Daydream DSP (host exclusive product)
• Iridescent Pearls

My card was also inspired by one of the sample projects in the catalog. You can see it in the photo below (the coral card with the three punched circles):

 

Here is the card I created:

 

Those Iridescent Pearls are SO pretty in person! Sometimes it's hard to tell in the catalog photos exactly what a product will be like, and in this case, the photos definitely do not do them justice. 

 

 

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

Stamps: Pansy Patch

Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Stampin' Blends Markers: Dark Blackberry Bliss

Paper: Pool Party, Blackberry Bliss, Basic White, Design a Daydream DSP

Embellishments: Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Iridescent Pearls

Tools: Decorative Circle Punch

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

 

Happy Stamping!

#GDP343: Beautiful Butterflies

This week's theme challenge at Global Design Project was the perfect chance to break out one of my new favorite bundles - the Best Butterflies Bundle!

 

I used a lot of Rose Gold on this card - isn't that new Rose Gold Specialty Paper stunning?!

Champagne Rhinestones were a great match for the Rose Gold. Who doesn't love a blingy card, am I right?

 

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

Stamps: Best Butterflies

Ink: Soft Suede, Blushing Bride, Petal Pink

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Shimmery White, Rose Gold Specialty Paper

Embellishments: Champagne Rhinestones

#TGIFC368: A Little Note of Thanks

 It has been quite awhile since I've played along at TGIF Challenges, but I used their sketch this week as my starting point when I pulled out the Sweet Songbirds Bundle for the first time!

 

This was my first play with this bundle, and it's so much fun to work with! You can stamp the bird or create it with the punch and cardstock, and there are lots of little stamps in the set to build your own little picture. As a pianist, I couldn't resist the musical notes! 

 

Here are all of the products I used on this card:

Stamps: Sweet Songbirds 

Ink: Memento Black, Crushed Curry, Sweet Sorbet

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Parakeet Party, 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper

Tools: Songbird Builder Punch, Stylish Shapes Dies, Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

Happy Stamping!

#GDP341: Dear Friend
