GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT CHALLENGE

This week’s #GDP351 challenge theme is SHAPE.

My go to for this challenge were the Stylish Shapes Dies and I featured the square and circle stitched shapes.

I also used the Sun Prints 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper and the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set.

I started by using the smallest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut several pieces from three different DSP designs. The squares were then attached to a Basic White panel.

Then I used the circle dies to out 4 circles from the centre of the largest square.

After removing the die cut circles, I placed the remaining panel piece in the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

I adhered this embossed panel onto a Basic White card base. Then I placed the circles back from where they came from, alternating the heights of each circle with dimensionals.

The greeting is from the Nature’sPrints Stamp Set which was die cut using the same small square die.

I coloured some Iridescent Rhinestones with my dark Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends pen.

I am very pleased with the card I have created for this challenge. What do you think?

Tomorrow I will start sharing some of the Christmas card samples I made for the recent catalogue launch.

Until then, happy stamping.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY IS A DOUBLE CORNER FLIP CARD

It is loads of fun searching for different fun fold cards to make and share.

Today, I took a Corner Flip Card and decided to create a card that turned in this way on both sides of the card.

I started the scoring for this card directly in the middle across the top of the card. The left hand side measured 1-1/2″ down and the right hand side measured 2-1/2″ down. I turned the corners in and used my Bone Folder to burnish the folded edges sharply.

I carefully measured and cut the Designer Series Paper (card front) and Basic White cardstock (card insert) to match the shape of the card.

Some branch shapes were die cut and positioned behind the stamped and die cut banner. This was then added to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The fern was stamped on the card insert and envelope. Then I added some Decorative Dots to the front of the card.

The last thing I did was to stamp and die cut two ferns. I added them to the card insert so that they sit flat when closed and then pop up when it’s opened.

That was fun!

Tomorrow we start a new week and a new product suite.

Until then, happy stamping.

A CUTE 3D PROJECT FOR A THANK YOU GIFT

Today I have a little gift box to share. I bought a small Geranium & Rosewood scented bath oil as a thank you gift.

The box measures 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″x 3″ (excluding the front and back flaps).

The banner die was threaded over the front and back flaps so that I could cut these single scallop ends. I repeated this with a piece of the Designer Series Paper.

The main colours used are Starry Sky and Sweet Sorbet from the new 2022 2024 In Colours.

The branches were cut from a small piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and attached to the back flap.

The sentiment was stamped, cut and attached to the front flap. The Polished Dots were coloured with one of the Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends.

Finally, a #tammybow was added to the front of the gift box.

I always enjoy the time I spend making 3D projects. Now I have another small thank you gift in my cupboard ready to give.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday.

Until then, happy stamping.
