Global Design Project - Theme Challenge #gdp055

The Global Design Project has a RAK Theme for this weeks Challenge #gdp055
RAK: 'Random Acts of Kindness' - even just reading that brings a smile to your face. How wonderful is it to receive an out of the blue 'Just for You', or a 'Thankyou' from someone?

My creation is for a beautiful and dear friend of mine going through a tough time at the moment.

'Friend'. A beautiful barrow full of flowers can lift someones spirits and hopefully some words of love within my card can bring a smile.

I am going away for a holiday with my family this weekend, and I wanted my friend to know that I am thinking of her and her family while I will be away. 

And some matchy-matchy tealights, wrapped with 'Affectionately Yours' Designer Washi Tape.

Oh, that Copper Embossing! Love it!

Thankyou so much for visiting my blog. I hope you were inspired by my RAK card, and that you can join in with this weeks Challenge?

Affectionately Yours - Case the Designer Challenge #gdp036

Today we are CASEing the lovely Paula Dobson, a Design Team Member from the Global Design Project #gdp036.

And here is Paula's divine creation we are to CASE!...

(CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit) 

My CASE of Paula's card using sneak peek products...

My card is portrait style, and I have made my first inlaid die cut using the 'Thanks' sentiment from the 'Greetings Thinlits Dies'. 

 Instead of stamping the floral background, I have used Designer Series Paper - and it's the NEW 'Affectionately Yours DSP' available in the NEW Annual Catalogue 1st June, 2016. 

It's divine!

And a close up of the Copper embossed 'Thanks' sentiment and banner using the 'Cottage Greetings' stampset. 

Wow!, that Copper Embossing Powder. 

Again. Divine!

Landscape style using the 'Affectionately Yours DSP' and a different colour way; Crumb Cake & Daffodil Delight.

A teeny banner and the sentiment is from the 'Endless Thanks' stampset - embossed in no other than, Copper Embossing Powder.

And another colour way; Crumb Cake & Watermelon Wonder. 

Thankyou for visiting and taking the time to get this far. Don't forget you can order the 'Affectionately Yours DSP' and 'Copper Embossing Powder' 1st June, 2016 when the NEW Annual Catalogue is available. And I hope you enjoyed my creations?

'Thank you' - Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlight

G'day! - you are visiting me in Australia! and Welcome to my blog.
'Thank you'; 'Danke', 'Dank je', 'Domo aragato', 'Gracias', 'Grazie', 'Hvala ti', 'Mahalo iā ʻoe', 'Merci', & 'Tack' for being here. How lovely to be thanked - for any reason; and to give or send a handmade card to appreciate someone's help, generosity or friendship can lift their spirits even more.

Kylie Bertucci is the gorgeous girl behind this Stampin' Up! International Blog Highlight and I signed up straight away. I love seeing what other Demonstrators create, and the inspiration already is outstanding. World wide! You can also vote for my card to be featured on Kylie's blog...
'Thank you' Kylie for this wonderful opportunity to be featured on your blog with these amazing Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.

My card uses the 'Botanical Blooms' Bundle - a gorgeous set of Floral Photopolymer stamps and coordinating 'Botanical Builder Framelits Dies' to create an abundant garden in cardstock. In this case, a jungle. With the humid weather we are experiencing at the moment, there is no Autumn in sight - so the jungle leaves are very appropriate right now.

The wood veneer 'Thanks' from the 'Expressions Natural Elements' was a perfect sentiment to sit amongst the jungle leaves & flowers, and the 'so much' is from the 'Endless Thanks' stampset, stamped with the 'Whisper White Craft Stampin' Pad' onto Basic Black cardstock.

Again, 'Thank you' for visiting my blog, and I really hope you have been inspired by my creation? Make sure you check out the other creations by some fabulous papercrafters. There are some outstanding projects you don't want to miss. And don't forget to vote.
