PLAYING IN THE RAIN IS ALWAYS FUN!

I wanted to share another one of new bundles available in the new January to April 2023 Mini Catalogue.

PLAYING IN THE RAIN BUNDLE (ENGLISH)

The PLAYING IN THE RAIN BUNDLE is $96.25AUD and is a qualifying purchase to choose a FREE Sale-a-bration product – remember you only have until the end of February for Sale-a-bration.

I used the this bundle for my #137 Colour INKspiration Challenge project. This is such a stunning scene!

So what do a seaside scene and playing in the rain have in common? Water and a Colour INKspiration challenge.

The three super cute images were coloured using the Stampin’ Blends that coordinate with this challenge.

The Deckled Rectangles Dies were perfect to matte the three coloured characters.

The envelope and inside the card were also stamped.

The finishing touch was to add a few Evening Evergreen Opal Rounds.

Don’t forget to place your orders this month so that you can still earn your FREE Sale-a-bration products.

I have another card to share with you tomorrow. Until then, happy stamping.

If you live in Australia, you can order your stampin’ Up! supplies through me.

WEDNESDAY IS A WONDERFUL DAY TO SHARE A THIRD PROJECT!

This time, it is a project that I made for the Colour INKspiration #119. I am enjoying being part of the Design Crew.

This colour palette is so sweet – thank goodness I am featuring the Gumball Greetings Bundle this week. It is prefectly sweet way to showcase these colours.

I decided to create a slimline card for this project.

I started by stamping three of the small gumball machines using Versamark on Basic White cardstock. After sprinkling gold embossing powder, from the Metallic Stampin’ Emboss Powders™, across the three gumball machines and shaking off any excess I heat embossed the powder.

Before die cutting the three small gumball machines; I used the Fresh Freesia, Flirty Flamingo, Magenta Madness and Pool Party Stampin’ Write Markers™ to colour most of the gumballs in each machine.

I prepared the slimline card by cutting a cardbase from Thick Basic White A4 cardstock measuring 8-1/2″x 7″ and scoring the 7″ side at 3-1/2″.

I scored three lines on the bottom edge of the card front, at 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″ from that bottom edge.

Using a 8-1/2″x 2-3/8″ piece of Gold Shimmer Vellum, I created this shiny gold background for the gumball machines.

The sentiment was also stamped and heat embossed in gold. I used two of the new banner dies, from the Stylish Shapes Dies, for the sentimment and a gold accent.

I tied a gold double bow using the Simply Elegant Trim bundle and secured it with a Mini Glue Dot. Finally, a few Gilded Gems were added to the card front.

It was fun using these colours with the Gumball Greetings Bundle.

Make sure you check out the Colour INKspiration Facebook page to see all the projects made for this challenge. Even better, you should join us. I look forward to seeing what you make.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday and I think my project will involve gumballs.

Until then, happy stamping.

WEDNESDAY IS A WONDERFUL DAY TO SHARE CHALLENGE PROJECTS

For my first post today I have the project I have made for this week’s #338 Global Design Project challenge. It is a SKETCH CHALLENGE.

Make sure that you click on the graphic below, to go to the Global Design Project page and see what this amazing group of paper crafters have made.

I am still featuring the Gumball Greetings Bundle, so I needed to adapt the layout of this sketch for my card. Thankfully, one of the GDP team turned her card from landscape to portrait. This made me feel more at ease with my project.

I used the new 2022 – 2024 In Colours to create this slimline card. The card base measures 8-1/2″x 7″ before being scored at 3-1/2″.

The Orchid Oasis circle was cut using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. This wcircle was then embossed using the dots folder from the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders.

For the gumball machine, I used Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, to stamp the machine base and lid on to Parakeet Party cardstock. The gumball dome was stamped in black on Basic White cardstock. Each of these three parts were then die cut.

I used all 5 new In Colours to stamp the gumballs inside the dome. These new colours are wonderfully vibrant.

Then I glued the three parts together.

The gumball machine was attached to the embossed circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment was masked and stamped three times to allow me to cut it into three seperate pieces. I placed dimensionals under each word and then secured them to the card front.

A length of Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon was tied in a double bow and fixed in place with a Mini Glue Dot.

Finally, I added three Starry Sky Matte Decorative Dots to the front of the card.

It has been fun using the Gumball Greetings Bundle in different ways, with different colours, over the last few days.

Knowing that I can use existing and new products together has always made me confident with the way in which Stampin’ Up!® coordinate so well.

I hope that you like this card – and, the one to follow later today.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday. I’ll be back then with a new project to share.

Until then, happy stamping.
