#GDP349 IS A WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY COLOUR CHALLENGE

This week’s Global Design Project is a colour challenge. My challenge was to figure out how to use the ‘bundle’ I am featuring this week – Design a Daydream 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper and the Big Hooray Stamp Set.

There are two designs in the DSP that have Basic White and Daffodil Delight.

So here is my project.

I used the largest Fabulous Frames Dies to cut the Party Parakeet and Tahition Tide frames. The embossing that the die leaves behind make the frames all the more interesting. They framed the piece of white kite DSP.

The greeting was stamped onto a piece of Basic White cardstock cut to match the width of the frame. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back to ensure the greeting pops up from card front.

The 2022 – 2024 In Colour Matte Decorative Dots were ideal for embellishing the card.

Mission accomplished – I was able to create a card using this week’s featured products and the GDP colours.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday. I have a great little box to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

TRY THIS TUESDAY TECHNIQUE TODAY

Today I have a quilt inspired technique to share with you. It is a simple variation of a Quilt Technique.

I cut 1″ strips of 4 different designs from the Design a Daydream 12″x 12″ DSP and adhered them onto a piece of 5-5/8″x 4″ Old Olive cardstock leaving a thin gap between each piece.

The longer pieces were laid down first, leaving small areas at each end. These areas were then filled with the DSP running at a 90 degree angle.

The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive and cut using one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. There are four banner dies in this set to choose from.

I used the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend pen to colour the White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon before creating the triple bow.

The final step was to colour some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels with the same alcolhol ink pen.

Tomorrow is the day I share any challenge or blog hop projects with you. It will be a Global Design Project share tomorrow, so visit me to see what I created.

Until then, happy stamping.

MEMORIES ON A MONDAY

Each Monday I aim to share a scrapbook layout with you. I have missed a couple but am back on track today with this one.

I have chosen to ‘bundle’ the Big Hooray Stamp Set and the Design a Daydream 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. A few die sets will also be used throughout the week.

Look what we have back! Stampin’ Up!® have introduced an Embossing Additions Tool Kit. The small Powder Pal tray is a welcome return, as is the Embossing Buddy™. There is now a pair of Crafting Scissors and a Crafting Brush.

To be honest, I have no idea what photos I am going to place on this page but I am confident that these papers, greeting and layout will suit loads of different occasions.

I used one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out several ‘fans’ from one of the pieces of DSP.

So the new Embossing Kit came in handy for heat embossing the greeting. I used the white powder from the Basics Stampin’ Emboss™ Powders which looks great on the Blackberry Bliss cardstock.

Hooray – another MEmories on Mnday completed.

Tomorrow I have a new Technique Tuesday project to share.

Until then, happy stamping.
