This is the third Wednesday in 2022 and I have finally settled on what each Wednesday will bring.
Week 1 was ‘What’s New Wednesday’ and week 2 was ‘Wonderful Wednesday’. Now, it’s going to simply be called ‘Welcome to Wednesday’. Wednesday will be the day when I share a project I make for the Global Design Project Challenge. I really enjoyed participating in this last year. Each new challenge is posted on Tuesday, so Wednesday is the perfect time to post my creation.
This week’s GDP Challenge #326 is a sketch challenge. If you click on the sketch below, you will be connected to GDP website and will be able to see all of the projects created by the design team.
I love sketch challenges because they provide so many ways to interpret them and opportunities to create something original.
This week, on my blog, I am featuring the Artfully Composed Suite. For this challenge I am using the Artfully Composed 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.
I also decided to introduce another new 2022 January – June Mini Catalogue product bundle and use it for this project: the Love & Happiness Bundle.
The Basic White card base was the perfect backgound for the Evening Evergreen piece of DSP. This layer was embossed with the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder. This panel was then adhered to the card base.
The same folder and heart die were used to cut and emboss the Calypso Coral DSP piece for the centre of the card front.
I used the largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies to cut a piece of Vellum 12″x 12″ Layering Designs paper.
The embossed and die cut heart was centred on the vellum circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The vellum then had a double layer of Stampin’ Dimensionals attached to its back before being placed on the embossed DSP layer.
The sentiment, from the Love & Happiness Stamp Set was stamped, using Calypso Coral, onto a 1/2″ strip of Basic White cardstock. Then I used the Banners Pick a Punch to create the banner ends of this piece.
I used a 1/2″ strip of the embossed Calypso Coral cardstock and a 5/8″ strip of the dots DSP to create the sentiment bundle.
I tied a simple bow, using the black and white baker’s twine from the Playful Pets TRim Combo Pack, and attached it to the back of the sentiment bundle.
To finish the card I added three of the small white dots from the Classic Matte Dots embellishments.
The Hybrid Embossing Folders are an amazing new product option created by Stampin’ Up!©. To be able to emboss and die cut at the same time is inspirational.
Today, I have only used the Designer Series Paper from this week’s product suite focus. Each Wednesday will be different – the GDP challenge will determine how many products from the weekly focus I will be able to use.
I would love you to let me know what you think of the way my Wednesdays will look like for the rest of the year.
Tomorrow is Thursday and it is 3D Thursday.
Until tomorrow, happy stamping.
