HERE IS MY GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT #GDP352 SUBMISSION

This week, the GDP team have a CASE project to inspire our creativity.

We are challenged to CASE a Susan Wong project. If have not seen Susan’s creative projects before, you really need to start following her – wow, wow, wow!

Make sure that you click on the image below and you will go directly to the GDP website to see all the projects the team have created this week.

For my CASE, I am working with colours and shapes.

I started with Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo and Mango Melody cardstock and then used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the hexagonal borders. After I adhered the three borders to a base layer of Basic White cardstock, I embossed it using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder.

Multipurpose Glue was used to position the embossed layer, diagonally, on the card front. When the glue had dried, I was able to trim off the overhanging embossed white cardstock.

Then I added some more die cut shapes to the card front, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting, from the Handmade Wishes Stamp Set, was stamped in Flirty Flamingo onto Flirty Flamingo cardstock. This was then cut using one of the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Before adding this greeting hexagon to the card, some Basic White Essentials Twine was looped and secured in place. Dimensionals ensured this hexagon popped up from the card front.

Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels were coloured using the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Pen. I coloured three large and three small jewels and added them to the card.

I need to be honest and say that I have no idea what I will be creating and sharing tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.

SANTA EXPRESS

The Santa Express Suite is such a fun collection of new products.

SANTA EXPRESS SUITE COLLECTION (ENGLISH)

The card started with a Shaded Spruce base. Then a tied a small bow in a length of Iridescent Trim and wrapped it around a piece of patterned paper from the Santa Express 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. The DSP was then attached to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Christmas greetings and images were stamped before being cut using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. A few dimensionals later and the greetings were up on the card front.

For this W card I cut a 11-1/2″x 1-1/2″ piece of Poppy Parade cardstock and scored it into 4 even sections.

I cut four 2-1/2″ squares in Basic White cardstock and stamped Santa’s engine and three carriages using Mementto Jet Black ink. Then I used a variety of Stampin’ Blends pens to colour the images – Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Poppy Parade, Petal Pink, Granny Apple Green, Evening Evergreen, Shaded Spruce, Basic Gray and Mint Macaron.

A piece of Shaded Spruce was cut and placed inside the card as a pocket for the Basic White tag to sit inside.

Using a small scrap of Basic Gray cardstock, I die cut the lttle puffs of smoke to drift from the engine stack.

A few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to add some bling was the final step.

Who knows what tomorrow might bring.

Until then, happy stamping.

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS IN JULY CARD TO SHARE

I chose the Cottage Wreaths Bundle for this card. It has such a classic Christmas look.

This card stated with a base made from Garden Green cardstock and a piece of patterned paper from the Sweetest Christmas 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper

Using Soft Suede, I stamped the twigs wreath before stamping the leaves wreath in Soft Succulent. Then I the individual leaves using Garden Green. Finally, the cluster of three berries were stamped in Sweet Sorbet.

The Christmas greeting was also stamped using Sweet Sorbet.

I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut the stamped Basic White panel. A scalloped circle die was used to cut the Garden Green piece. These were then adhered together before having Stampn’ Dimensionals attached so that it could be popped up on the card front.

The last step was to use the Country Wreaths Dies to cut the bow that I added to the wreath.

I think that I will go back and add some Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics to the stamped cluster of berries. What do you think?

Another card tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.
