TODAY IS SUNDAY & I WANT TO SHARE MY #GDP CHALLENGE PROJECT

I am so excited to be back in groove and that includes sharing a project that I have created for the weekly Global Design Project Challenge.

This week the Challenge is GDP460 which is casing GDP Design Team Member Susan Wong!

To see what other creative stampers have made check out Instagram or Facebook – @global.design.project and #GDP460.

For my card I decided to work with the Round We Go Bundle and Gold Metallic Enamel Effects Basics.

I started by using strips of Masking Tape to create 3/8″ inch gold enamel panels on the Thick Basic White panel.

With each narrow strip, I applied the gold enamel using brushstrokes that created wonderful texture. Although it took time for each strip of gold enamel to dry, each level revealed wonderful texture for this card.

I applied this same technique to the card insert and the back of the envelope.

After die cutting the rosette twice, using the Round We Go die, I folded each scored line in preparation. Before completing the construction of the rosette I painted the same gold metallic enamel to the black card. After it dried, quite some time later, I folded and created the rosette. The rosette was finished with an enamel painted 3/4″ circle – the die I used was from the Kiddin’ Around Dies pack.

After I adhered the rosette to the front Basic White panel I trimmed it on the righthand side.

I used a totally amazing glue gun, that I was introduced to at a fairly recent Paper Angels training day, to assemble this rosette. (Check out Ryobi)

After securing and trimming the rosette I went on to create the greeting.

I stamped the greeting using Versamark and then sprinkled gold embossing powder over it. After heat embossing the greeting, it was cut using one of the Stylish Shapes banner Dies.

The lefthand side of the greeting banner was trimmed to align to the card base edge.

I added some small gold embellishments, from the Blooming Pearls collection, to finish the card front.

I applied the roughly painted gold enamel strip to the card insert and the back of the envelope. I love the texture this roughly painted technique has created.

I now have an amazing ‘industrial’ Ryobi glue gun that I use for these kinds of projects.

From Monday, I will start shairng projects using the Splendid Autumn Suite Collection.

Until then, happy stamping.

BACK ON TRACK WITH MY COLOUR INKSPIRATION DESIGN CREW PROJECTS

Well, at last I am back contributing the Colour INKspiration challenges and this one is for our 172nd challenge!

Today’s picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Monica Formosa.

I hope that you are inspired to join the challenge.

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI172, Peach Pie, Garden Green and Pebbled Path, you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige, Basic Black and metallics to your project. We also allow ‘Ivory’, ‘Bronze’ and ‘Natural Tones’ in the Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! (or any other brand) substitute – Basic Grey instead of Pebbled Path for example.

For my project I chose one of the newly available stamp sets that have come across from Close to My Heart. The Home Stamp Set was one that really caught my eye.

The Pebble Path card base has panel of Garden Green paper from the Regals 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

I stamped the ‘is where the heart is’ onto a narrow piece of Peach Pie paper from 2023-2025 In Colour 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper. This was then positioned on the Garden Green panel using Stampin’ Dimensoinals.

The large ‘home’ was stamped twice. The first panel was glued directly to the panel. The second ‘home’ was coloured with the Garden Green pencil from the Watercolour Pencil pack 2 and ‘blended’ in with a Blender Pen. I fussy cut the three coloured letters and placed them over the corresponding letters, with dimensionals.

Three lengths of white Baker’s Twine, from the Essentials Pack, were coloured using the Dark Peach Pie and Light Pebble Path Stampin’ Blends. These were then wrapped around the panel and ties in a bow.

The house was stamped and coloured using both Light and Dark Blends Pens in Peach Pie and Pebble Path.

I used the Colour Lifter to to lighten the ‘glass’ in the windows. They then had Clear Wink of Stella painted on them.

After fussy cutting the house it was then added using dimensionals.

I added more dimensionals to the back of the front panel and placed it on the card base.

Three Pebble Path Dots, from the 2023-2025 In Colour Dots, were placed across the front.

The card insert and back of the envelope had more of the Peach Pie DSP added.

It has been wonderful to welcome Makers, from Close to My Heart, into Stampin’ Up! and a treat to be able to order CTMH products that have transitioned across to our online catalogue.

Tomorrow I will have a Global Design Project card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S FRIDAY AND TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

This week I have featured the Mediterranean Blooms Suite Collection in the projects that I have shared. It is such a lovely collection and, as I mentioned on Monday, it reminded me of Italy.

This suite collection includes the Citrus Blooms Bundle – the stamp set and coordinating dies, Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper, and Opal Rounds Assortment.

The Stamp Set includes 5 images – a single orange branch, a trio of oranges branch, two citrus blooms images and a fabulous geometric diamond image. The set also has four different greetings that combine two different fonts, one cursive and one in blocked capitals.

The die set has 15 dies, ranging from the large block shape and its coordinating leafy insert dies. Then there are the two citrus image dies, four leaf stems and four flowers. The last two dies cut three small flowers each.

My favourite in this Suite Collection is definitely the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper. This 12″x 12″ DSP is made up of 2 each of 6 double-sided designs – 12 sheets in total. One side of the DSP features the stunning citrus images and the other side has wonderful monochromatic blue designs, many of which resemble tile designs.

Last, but not least, are the Opal Rounds Assortment embellishments in Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy and White.

It was so easy to create this week’s projects because this Suite Collection is, in itself, an inspiration.

Today I have a Fun Fold Card to share. I’m calling it a Pop Up Double Z Card. I invite you to let me know if there is a more accurate name for it.

I will share the elements of the fun fold soon but will start with the front of the card.

The front of the card has three sections – the’base’, the 1 3/4″ vertical righthand panel and the 2″ horizontal panel on the bottom of the card.

Each of these sections, that have a Night of Navy base, have had a slightly smaller panels of Designer Series Paper added.

To embellish the card front I adhered a triple orange branch die cut image before adding the greeting.

The greeting was stamped in Pumpkin Pie and cut using one of the Perennai Postage Dies. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back of the die cut greeitng and positioned on the card front.

I coloured some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels, using my Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Pen, and attached them to the card front.

Time to look inside the card –

This image shows what the card looks like when it is slightly opened.

When the card is fully opened you can see all the scored sections and DSP panels.

You can also see the pop up single orange image.

I love the way this DSP works together.

I added a panel of Basic White card to the back of the card and decorated it with a narrow strip of DSP. I used the same DSP to finish the back of the envelope.

The weekend begins tomorrow and I’m sure that I will have something to share.

Until then, happy stamping.
