I found a new challenge that I’m in love with! It’s called Fab Friday Challenge! Here’s the sketch challenge:
I used the Christmas Tree in Lovely Trees Stamp set. And for the doily element, I used embossing paste colored with Wink of Stella. I love how it turned out!
Here’s the supplies:
Product List
In the new Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog there is a new product called Embossing Paste.
I wasn’t sure about it at first but now I love it! It’s a great way to add some texture to your card and it’s easy to work with. You can use the re inkers to add color to the paste or you can use it like it comes.

I’m so excited! This is my first time entering the Global Design Project Challenge.
This week’s GDP challenge is a color challenge using these three beautiful colors: Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Flirty Flamingo.
I have fallen in love with the At Home With You Stamp set and Framelits from the new Annual Catalog. So I knew I wanted to use that set for the challenge! Here’s my card #GDP101:
The set I used is offered as a bundle:
You can use this set for so many different occasions!
Here’s the ingredients: Night of Navy card base, Glimmer paper, Bermuda Bay Paper, aqua painter in Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzaz Inks. Bermuda Bay chevron ribbon.
I watercolored the glimmer paper with Flirty Flamingo Ink. I love using glimmer paper with my aqua painters. It works beautifully and it’s perfect if you don’t want the texture of watercolor paper. I also used glimmer paper with aqua painters with all the details.
Hope this has inspired you to enter a challenge. Pop over to Global Design Project and check out some more projects.
Yay! School has started for most of us! I wanted to share the teacher gifts I made for the first day of school.
Actually me and my daughter worked on them together. The crate included some coffee candy and a cute little card saying she was looking forward to the school year! Of course, in the rush to get out the door, I forgot to take a good pic of them all but got this one right before drop-off. Isn’t it cute! Planning on giving some little treats like this throughout the year to her teachers. 🙂
I used the Woodcrate thinlet to make the little crate and then used items from the Coffee Break Suite for the rest.
Enjoy!
As school approaches things are getting a little wild! I see so many Facebook posts from my friends, who have preschool/elementary aged children, that school can’t come soon enough! I remember those days but oh how I miss them also. 🙂
The A Little Wild stamp set reminds me of when my kids were little. It’s a perfect stamp set for a children’s card, a baby shower card or a card for a friend who likes animals and I love that with the bundle you can make tags too!
These card ideas were not my own but came from Pinterest. On two of the cards, I used tulle fabric for the background so you can see through the square and see the back of the animal when you open the card. I used tombow liquid glue to make sure that tulle stayed in place!
The next card is too cute! I used Bermuda Bay for the colored card stock and the ribbon. I used blender pens and ink to color in the bear. The glimmer paper was created with a piece of watercolor paper and Wink of Stella!
The next card uses Wood Grain Texture Paper for the background on a Early Expresso card base. I looked up a tutorial on a gate fold card to create it. The polka dot paper was created with a pencil eraser and Chocolate Chip Ink. The lion was colored using Blender pen and Pumpkin Pie Ink and Crushed Curry Ink. I love how the inside turned out! I have a friend that has a Cricut Air that can print onto yardstick. She used it to create the Happy Birthday sentiment.
On the last card, I used the branch from Colorful seasons stamp set, to hang my beehive from. And the sentiment is also from Colorful Seasons.
Hope you enjoyed the inspiration for today! Praying for all the moms out there who are waiting to send their “wild ones” off to school!
