Global Design Project - 'Colour Challenge' #gdp085

The Global Design Project 'Colour Challenge' #gdp085 

is honouring the Retiring 'In Colours 2015-2017' and you choose your favourite 3 colours!  

I love all the retiring '2015-2017 In Colours', and now I have to choose 3? Then again, we  have 5 New In Colours to look forward to using for the next 2 years.

My 3 favourite Colours for this Challenge are:

 'Cucumber Crush', 'Watermelon Wonder' & 'Delightful Dijon'. 

With the delicate 'Cottage Greetings' stamp set, these 3 colours are perfect for the flower images.

I have made the notecards their very own envelopes using the floral pattern from the '2015-2017 Designer Series Paper Stack'. 

Seriously, I don't know about you, but I love these guys!

*Card measurements

Global Design Project - 'Colour' Challenge #gdp073

OK. Here we go... 

I am this weeks Guest Designer for the Global Design Project 'Colour Challenge' #gdp073!!!

So honoured and excited to be chosen by the GDP Team and to be here with these beautiful and amazingly talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world.

How bright and beautiful are this weeks colours? This is the little something I created...

Where to start? What to create? 

I know! Let's open my brand new 'Celebrate Everyday Project Life Card Collection'. All the colours I need are right there, and this card collection is so versatile and so is the coordinating 'Accessory Pack'.

I have used the 'Cottage Greetings' stampset for my sentiment. The font is so beautiful, and it fits perfectly inside the heart. The little spray of flowers, and the 'Emerald Envy Solid Baker's Twine' are a bit gorgeous too. I love the little details.

Check out this Stampin' Up! YouTube video showcasing the 'Celebrate Everyday Project Life Card Collection & Accessory Pack'.

And you could totally be the next Guest Designer. Yes, you! Go on and have a go at creating for this weeks Challenge using Daffodil Delight, Emerald Envy & Watermelon Wonder. It's so much fun, and you have plenty of time to get your craft on.

Thankyou so much for visiting, and again to the incredible GDP Team for this wonderful opportunity. See you all next week.

Global Design Project - 'CASE the Designer' #gdp064

I love CASEing the Designer Challenges! I am in awe of the Global Design Team anyway, and then we get to CASE their creations! Awesome!

This week the Global Design Project #gdp064 'CASE the Designer' is Connie Collins. 
Yep - Connie is one of the fabulous GDP Team Members, and here is what we will be *CASEing:

* CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

My CASE creation contains the same colours, layout and a floral theme. However, I have used different stampsets & Designer Series Paper to Connie's card...

I die-cut all the flowers using the 'Botanical Builder Framelit Dies' in the colours of 'Marina Mist', 'Soft Sky', 'Daffodil Delight' & 'So Saffron' cardstock. 
I stamped the leaves using the 'Botanical Blooms' stampset onto 'Old Olive' cardstock and die-cut them as well.

Using a 'Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker', I outlined all the die-cut flowers - looking like Connie's stamped images before she coloured her blooms. A different effect to achieve a similar look. Seeing as the leaves had been stamped, they didn't require the outline.

The sentiment is from the gorgeous 'Cottage Greetings' stampset. I used the Marker to colour the stamp image prior to stamping. So this whole card doesn't use a Stampin' Ink Pad at all. 

I love the strip of 'Daffodil Delight' DSP from the 'Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper' and finishing with some 'Linen Thread' for the sweet bow.

Thankyou for visiting and I hope you enjoyed my post?

Cottage Greetings & Rose Garden Thinlits - Case The Designer #gdp040

 Hi, and welcome to my blog. I have been time poor this week, however have had bits and pieces of time to create for this weeks  Global Design Project #gdp040 'Case the Designer'. This weeks Designer is Shawn De Oliveira, and here is Shawn's gorgeous creation to be CASEd!

And this is my 'Copy And Selectively Edited' creation... It's kind of the same, but different.

I have used the same layout, and similar colours to Shawn.

 Shawn used In Colours 2014-2016; Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon & Mossy Meadow with Sahara Sand card base.

I have used colours from the Brights Collection; Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight & Old Olive with Crumb Cake for the card base. And finishing with the Happy Birthday sentiment from the 'Cottage Greetings' stampset and the divine 'Bermuda Bay Thick Baker's Twine'. Divine!

I watercoloured onto Shimmery White cardstock using Bermuda Bay ink (from the lid of my Stampin' Pad) and an Aqua Painter. The Shimmery White is a lovely base to watercolour, leave to fully dry before completing your project. 

I die cut the small flower and leaves from the 'Rose Garden Thinlits Dies'. I cut down one of the flowers to make the little bloom, and removed one petal from another flower to make a slightly smaller flower. I daubed around the edges of all the die cuts which gives them a little bit of dimension.

Thankyou for popping in for a visit, and I hope you have enjoyed my blog post? Have yourself a lovely weekend. D x

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?

Cottage Greetings - Global Design Project #gdp008

Hello there. It's Week 8 of the Global Design Project, and it's CASE the Designer time. This week's Designer is Kylie Bertucci, and this is Kylie's card. To see the Design Teams creations based on Kylie's card click here. You won't be disappointed.

My creation is based on Kylie's choice of colours: Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Tip Top Taupe & Very Vanilla. I was also inspired by the layout, however I made my card square. And I have used the Flower Theme by using stamped flowers from the  'Cottage Greetings' stampset.

I used Stampin' Write Markers to colour the flower stamps and then fussy cut all those little flowers and leaves to make the flourish. I have added the Tip Top Taupe stripes from the 'Cherry on Top' Designer Series Paper.

 

And finished with the sweetest little banner.

Thankyou so much for stopping by and don't forget you can leave me a comment (if you would like). I love hearing from you. D x
