I save usually wait until Saturdays to share challenge projects that I have worked on. I finished this one quite early, so I thought that I would also share it early.
Today’s project is for this week’s Global Design Project #GDP432 challenge.
This week, the GDP team are CASEing a card by Elodie Ventroux, one of their team members from France. It is such a lovely project to CASE.
I am so pleased that it is a Fun Fold card.
I hope that you pop over and see all the creations made by the GDP Team and the projects submitted by other paper crafters from around the world. Every week there are so many awesome ideas to inspire us.
I decided to use the new Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia products because I have already made lots of new projects using this bundle for my posts, beginning February 26th.
The Flowering Zinnias Suite Collection is a stunning and vibrant paper crafting resource. When it becomes available, to customers on March 5, the order number is 163485 and costs $146.
i played around with measurments for this card a few times before I was happy with the dimensions. The Pumpkin Pie card base measures 11″ x 4 1/8″. Along the long side I scored the base at 1 1/2″, 3″ and 7″.
I cut two panels of Pumpkin Pie – 4″ x 7/8″ and 4″ x 3 7/8″. these two panels were then embossed using the Basics 3D Crosshatch Embossing Folder. These panels were adhered to the card base as you can see.
The long, vertical Pumpkin Pie panel measures 5 7/8″ x 2 1/8″. After I adhered it to bottom 1 1/2″ ‘step’, I added a piece of the gorgeous Designer Series Paper. This long panel was perfect to showcase the design of this paper.
I added two more Pumpkin Pie panels measuring 3 1/2″ x 2 1/8″ and 2 1/2″ x 2 1/8″. These panels also has DSP added to them.
The 3D flower was created by die cutting the two floral dies in Lemon Lolly, Pumpkin Pie and Vellum. I layered these and secured them using Mini Glue Dots. The petals were curled up to add more dimension. I also cut two leaves, in Old Olive, and secured them under flower.
I stamped the greeting twice, masking the stamp to achieve the separation that I wanted. After trimming the greeting, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals so that the two strips would sit up from the card front.
The card insert and envelope both had some of the DSP adhered to them.
Finally, I added some Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins to the card front.
I am so happy with the card I have created. So many layers and texture.
So, in just over a week, I will have five more projects for you that I have made using this Online Exclusive collection of products.
Until then, happy stamping.
