Fab Friday 129 – Challenge

1 / 29 / 18

I’m so glad to be back in my craft studio this week after being sick last week.  I’m playing along today with the Fab Friday Challenge!   I chose the new Fruit Basket Stamp set!  I love this cute little fruity stamp set with the matching punches.  Here’s the sketch for this challenge:

I stayed pretty true to the sketch except I used a different shape in the center.  I used the Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper for the mat pieces on the card.  Then I used the stamp set and punches to create the focal point.  I love this paper!  To create some interest on the left side of the card, I used versa-mark ink and randomly stamped a strawberry outline.  It really helped balance the card.

Here are the measurements:

  • Card base:  8.5″x5.5″, scored at 4.25″
  • First mat:  5.25″x2″ (green dsp)
  • Second mat:  5.25″x .75″

Global Design Project-#GDP120

1 / 11 / 18

As promised, I’m participating in more challenges this year to get my creativity going and also because it’s just fun! This week I’m participating in the Global Design Project-#GDP120-Case the Design. Here’s the project:

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

When I CASE a project I take what I like from the design and make it my own. It might be the stamp set – the colours, the layout, the theme, the images – whatever inspires me to make a card of my own.  I love the clean simple design layout of her card and the colors.  I based my card of those two things, the layout and the colors.  I chose a color combination that is simple but makes an impact Crushed Curry and Smokey Slate.  I’ve been playing around with the Weather Together Stamp set from the annual catalog, so I knew I wanted to incorporate it as well.  Here’s my card:

Barn Door Card

12 / 29 / 17

I love the week between Christmas and New Year’s.  Our schedule slows down a bit and there is extra time for crafting!  Yay!

I’m participating for the first time in the Paper Craft Crew PCC273 Inspirational Challenge.  I love the inspiration photo!

I used a new stamp set called Barn Door that will be in the New Occasions Catalog coming out Jan. 3rd.  I love this stamp set so much because it’s a slider card and makes it interactive.  🙂  I knew I wanted the red on my card to be the barn door.

The stamp set comes with a precious little wreath and the flowers can be cut out separately using a coordinating die.  I also added some little twig pieces using Pretty Pines thinlets.  I used Stampin’ Blends to color in the barn door and I love how it turned out. And did you know you can use the Stampin’ Blends to color rhinestones? It works perfectly!

Here are the supplies I used:

Fall is here! Global Design Project #104

9 / 15 / 179 / 15 / 17

I love the Global Design Project! So much inspiration to create something on your own. This week we are CASEing (Copy and Selectively Edit or Copy and Share Everything) a card by Allison Okamitsu. It is so cute!

We had some really nice cooler weather last week here in North Texas and it’s got me in the fall mood.  Of course today it’s like 94 but it was nice while it lasted.  I used a new technique on this card that gives it a stained glass look.  I used the leave from Colorful Seasons stamp set, heat Embossed on vellum, turned it over and colored in with Stampin’ Up Markers.  The marker colors I used are Rich Razzleberry, Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive.  I think it’s beautiful.

I CASEd the background by embossing several gold leaves on the card base.  Then I CASEd the image and sentiment by making it the focal point of the card and putting it on a shaped  frame.   The last thing I CASEd is the little bow like she did off to the side.  🙂  Enjoy and create something today!

I found a new challenge that I’m in love with! It’s called Fab Friday Challenge!  Here’s the sketch challenge:

At Home With You-#GDP101

8 / 23 / 178 / 23 / 17

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.
