GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT #404 – CASE THE DESIGNER

I think that it has been at least a year since I last shared a project on the GDP site.

This week’s challenge is CASE the Designer.

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

For my project, I have ‘copied’ the circle element of the design and the use of a gift package.

I featured the Supremely Awesome Stamp Set and created a pizza box as the packaging.

The pizza box measures 4-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ x 1″.

I used Poppy Parade ink to stamp the checked strips. After trimming them, they were framed on 4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock.

This panel was then adhered to the box lid.

The pizza chef was stamped in Memento and then his cuffs and belt were coloured using the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend pen. Then he was fussy cut.

The pizza was coloured using Stampin’ Blends in Dark Gray Granite, Dark Lemon Lolly, Light Poppy Parade SU300.

I used the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock. Then it was embossed using the splatters folder from the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders bundle.

The sentiment, from the Supremely Awesome stamp set, was stamped on a 1/2″ strip of Basic White cardstock and then trimmed with the Banners Pick a Punch.

I took a length of Black & White Gingham Ribbon and created a triple loop bow. This was attached to the greeting banner using Mini Glue Dots.

The final step was to add some Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the lid.

What do you think of my GDP#404 entry?

Tomorrow I have this week’s Coffee & Card project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

WHEN A TACKLE BOX CAN BE SEEN AS SOMETHING DIFFERENT

When I first saw the Gone Fishing Dies, I didn’t picture a tackle box. I saw a makeup palette filled with sparkling eye shadows.

I made the makeup box using Basic Black cardstock and Foam Adhesive Strips. To help the foam strips ‘fit in’, I used the Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blends to colour ini the white sides.

I used the same sectioned die to cut the small coloured pieces. These were then given some gorgeous shimmer using the Wink of Stella Brush.

The greeting and die are both from the Something Fancy Bundle.

I added some of the 2023-2025 In Colour Dots to give the palette even more bling.

It took me three shops before I found these foam makeup sticks. I coloured them to match the palette. They were then secured using Mini Glue Dots.

I think the next project I amke with this Suite Collection is a shaker card – stay tuned.

Tomorrow I have a new project to share with you. It will feature the Just My Type Stamp Set.

Until then, happy stamping.

Colour INKspiration #148 – Paper Florist

Welcome back for another Colour INKspiration challenge. This inspiration picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Crew Member, Brenton Golley. 

Picture credit – https://www.henrycowls.net/blog-en/the-bullfinch.html

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI148, Daffodil Delight, Cajun Craze, Pebbled Path and Basic Black, you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, and metallics to your project. We also allow Ivory, Bronze and Natural Tones in Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! substitute.

To get your creative ideas flowing make sure you check out the Crew’s Projects in the CI#148 album. 

My contribution features the Sketched PlaidStamp Set and Paper Florist Dies.

The first step for this card was to stamp the Sketched Plaid background image onto a piece of Basic White cardstock, using Pebbled Path ink. I used my Stamparatus (now retired) to ensure that I would be able to ensure a clear image.

A length of Pebbled Path Textured Ribbon was wrapped around the stamped background layer.

I used the Paper Florist Dies to cut loads of flowers, stems and leaves from Basic White cardstock. Then I used three Blending Brushes to colour the floral elements I had cut.

After assembling the floral elements, I attached them to the card front.

I secured two other floral elements to the card insert and back of the envelope. The two layers of the flower were secured using the small black Round Brads.

The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed. I used the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp set and coordinating Dies.

Finally, I added some of Pebbled Path In Colour Dots to the card front.
