2024-2025 ANNUAL CATALOGUE – Page 32

I am a few days earlier than usual sharing my project for the latest challenge.

This week’s challenge is a SKETCH CHALLENGE.

Make sure that click on the image below to be directed to the GDP page to check out all the amazing projects the DEsign Team have created; as well as the ‘entries’ from card makers around the world.

i decided to use the soon to be released Country Birdhouse Bundle from the Country Woods Suite Collection.

The Country Woods Designer Series Paper is amazing – this is where I started. The Misty Moonlight weathered wood design and the multicoloured timber design were my choices.

I made a Misty Moonlight card base and added a panel of the weathered timber DSP.

Following the Sketch Challenge layout, I cut a piece of Basic Beige and embossed it with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it directly onto the card front.

Then I set about creating my birdhouse.

I stamped the birdhouse image onto the multicoloured timber paper and die cut it. At the same time I added the two small round dies to cut out the circles in the birdhouse.

Then I cut the roof and bottom piece in Pool Party and the barge board in Petal Pink.

I stamped the birthday greeting on the Pool Party lower panel.

After adhering these three die cut pieces to the front of the birdhouse I attached pieces of Foam Adhesive Sheets to the back.

I cut a panel of Petal Pink timber from the DSP and added it to the bottom of the card front.

A scrap of the Misty Moonlight DSP was adhered to a scrap of matching cardstock and then cut using the bow die. I trimmed the long strip from above the bow and then secured it to the card front.

Finally, I stamped the bird three times – once on a scrap of Basic Beige card and on the card insert and envelope. The first bird was die cut and then coloured using Pecan Pie and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and was painted with Clear Wink of Stella.

Tomorrow I have a Magnolia Mood 3D Project for you.

Until then, happy stamping.

Add All to Cart

I only have a few more weeks to participate in the weekly Global Design Project challenges because Rob and I are heading overseas for 10 weeks!

These weekly challenges ensure that I am always looking to create a project to meet the challenge guidelines. So often these challenges take me outside my comfort zone.

The week #GDP437 is a colour challenge.

For this challenge I chose one of the new bundles from the 2024 – 2025 Annual Catalogue – Country Flowers Bundle.

The technique I decided to use was the Clear Wink of Stella ‘water colouring’ technique.

After I stamped and die cut the bouquet of flowers and teapot I added ink directly from my Classic Stampin’ Pads onto clear blocks painted the images using the Clear Wink of Stella brush.

I used a Basic White card base and two matte layers; one in Shaded Spruce and one in Highland Heather.

The Highland Heather layer was embossed with the new So Swirly Embossing Fodler.

The Coastal Cabana and Basic White layers were cut using the new Country Flowers Dies.

I wrapped a length of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon arond the embossed Highland Heather layer and tied a bow. Then I added two lengths of silver trim from the Simply Elegant Trim bundle, and tied an extra double bow.

The Highland Heather layer was then adhered to the Shaded Spruce layer and secured on the white card base.I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of both the Coastal Cabana and Basic White die cut circles.

These were layered together before being trimmed along the right hand side. Then I added these circles onto the card front, over the ribbon.

The greeting was stamped and trimmed before being positioned on the front of the card using a strip from the edge of the dimensionals sheet.

I added the teapot to the white circle and then added the bouquet. These were both secured with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

‘Flower Market’ was stamped inside the card and on the back of the envelope.

Finally, I added some of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the card front.

I had made an earlier card for this challenge, but I didn’t like it as much as this one.

Here is my first endeavour:

For this card I used almost the same products. Instead of the So Swirly Embossing Folder, I used the new Dotted Circle 3D Embossing Folder.

I stamped the images directly onto the Basic White circle for this project.

I used different dies from the Country Flowers Dies set and coloured the Silver & White Sheer Ribbon.

I won’t be able to provide you with a shopping link until these new products go live for customers, from May. I hope in the descriptions I have given you will know what I have used for these projecrs.

Until next, happy stamping.
