Global Design Project - CASE the Designer #gdp080

We are CASEing the gorgeous GDP Team Member & 2017 Artisan Design Team Member; 

Louise Sharp, for this weeks Global Design Project CASE the Designer #gdp080

Have a look at her beautiful creation!, and now I gotta *CASE it?

*CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

Where to start?
A few of you may know that Louise loves pink & polka dots & flowers. If you didn't know, now you do. My creation has a little bit of pink and definitely some polka dots and lots of flowers.
 

Using the 'Weather Together' Bundle as my starting point, I made an umbrella from the 'Fruit Stand' Designer Series Paper. The handle and spike have been covered with some 'Fine-Tip Glue Pen' to give a glossy look. Unfortunately, the photo doesn't show it up.

I have watercoloured the background of the tag using 'Bermuda Bay' Stampin' pad with an 'Aqua Painter', and punched the flowers & leaves using the 'Tree Builder Punch'.
 I have used the same layout and colours, but have mixed it up with a different stamp set & Designer Series Paper.
 

The 'Fruit Stand DSP' was the perfect polka dot pattern and colours for my umbrella and banner.

I have used the 'Softly Falling' embossing folder for the 'Pool Party' mat. I turned the embossed cardstock over so that the debossed side is showing. The debossing side is the opposite side, and gives a different look altogether.

Thankyou for visiting my blog, and I hope you get creating soon.

Have a wonderful day. D x

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.

My creation using the gorgeous 'Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper'

I really love the 'Fruit Stand DSP', and this time I teamed it with the 'Time of Year' Hostess stampset using 'Basic Black Archival Ink' and some 'Basic Black Solid Baker's Twine'.

A very Bright & Bold Happy Birthday card using 'Daffodil Delight'.

While I was at it, I made up a few more cards using the 'Fruit Stand A4 Cardstock' in colours of Pear Pizzazz, Peekaboo Peach & Watermelon Wonder. 

It's fun stamping straight onto the DSP, and a lovely way to use this gorgeous paper. My friend Kylie says #loveitchopit.

Global Design Project - Theme Challenge #gdp051

This week the Global Design Project have a Theme Challenge being 'Food'. What a yummy theme, and so many possibilities for Food themed goodness from the Stampin' Up! Catalogues. 

From looking at the GDP banner I felt the pineapples & cupcakes could be quite popular - I have chosen the 'Fruit Stand' Designer Series Paper as my Food themed creations, and the coordinating 'Fruitstand A4 Cardstock' in the Summery colours of Pear Pizzazz, Peekaboo Peach & Watermelon Wonder. 

I made a whole bunch of Notecards using the 'Fruit Stand DSP' as the main mat. The stamped image and sentiment are from the 'Jar of Love' Photopolymer stampset. And they needed a little touch of 'Burlap Ribbon' too. The Notecards are matchy-matchy to...

Another food themed idea: I made up some 'Clear Tiny Treat Boxes', lined them with a strip of the 'Fruit Stand DSP' and filled them with coordinating lollies! 

Yep, there is a tiny treat box of Peaches & Cream, and a tiny treat box of 'Fruit Salad', and a tiny treat box of Strawberries & Cream - perfectly coordinated to match the Notecards.

The belly band wraps around the tiny treat box and I secured the 'Sweet Treats' label with 'Linen Thread'.

Thankyou for visiting, and seeing my creations. They were fun and easy to make; a little production line of cutting the cardstock, die cutting, stamping and gluing is all it takes. Hope you get a chance to make your very own. D x

*Notecards measure 14cm x 7cm - scored at 7cm or 5.5" x 2.75" - scored at 2.75". 

From 1 piece of A4 Cardstock you get 4 Notecards, and left over cardstock for the Scallop Circles and the belly bands for Treat Boxes.

'Thinking of You' - Global Design Project 'Colour Challenge' #gdp049

It's a gorgeous trio of colours for this weeks Global Design Project 'Colour Challenge' #gdp049.

We are having some amazing Spring-like weather at the moment, and these colours remind me of Spring! It's just around the corner...

I have made a couple of creations this week, and the first creation is a Sympathy card for a dear friend of mine who has recently lost her 'Knight in Shining Armor'. With such a sad time, I hope this will lift her spirits a little.

 I have used the 'Time of Year' Hostess stampset as the main sentiment, and the flower and leaves are from the 'Botanical Blooms Photopolymer stampset' & coordinating 'Botanical Builder Framelits Dies'.

I have embossed the sentiment; using 'Versamark Ink' onto the stamp, then stamping onto the 'Flirty Flamingo' inkpad and stamping straight onto the 'Whisper White' cardstock. I covered the sentiment with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and used the Heat Tool. The sentiment comes alive.

A closeup of the arrangement; all images were die cut in 'Whisper White' cardstock. The flower is mounted onto another flower from 'Flirty Flamingo' cardstock and the leaves onto 'Pear Pizzazz' cardstock. I then daubed around the edges to give a little bit of depth to the outlines. And some daubing of 'Daffodil Delight' in the centre of the flower.

And then I made these...

Originally I wanted to use the 'Fruit Stand DSP' because it contains all 3 colours of the Challenge. I wanted to make some tags using the waterwash dotty paper and using the 2 different styles from the 'Tags & Labels Framelits Dies', these little darlings turned out better than I imagined!

I love the flower reinforcement ring! Something that just came to me just before I added the 'Baker's Twine' to the tag. And the sweet little flower and leaves made from the 'Tree Builder Punch'.

And the 'Daffodil Delight' version. So delightful!

Thankyou for visiting me and seeing what I've created. I hope you have a wonderful week, and you get the chance to join in for this weeks Challenge? There's still time. Just click here.

Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop - 'Gifts from the Garden'

Hello, and welcome to the July 'Creation Station Design Team' Blog Hop! This month we are creating beautiful projects using Garden Themed Stamp sets and coordinating products. You will not be disappointed with the talent of my fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators and their creations.
To make sure you get to see everyone's amazing projects, click on the 'BACK' & 'NEXT' buttons at the bottom of my post.

We are in the middle of Winter in Australia, and I managed to get some 'Summer' time colour and warmth with my projects by using the absolutely divine 'Fruit Stand' Designer Series Paper & coordinating 'Fruit Stand' A4 Cardstock!

My little Gift Boxes turned out better than I imagined. I used different ribbons and twine to pretty up the packaging, and of course they coordinate beautifully. 

I want to share with you the tutorial I found.

Click here to be taken to Christina's blog and get ready to make your own cute boxes & lids. 

All you need is: a 'Stampin' Trimmer' to cut & score your 'DSP' for the lid and 'Cardstock' for the bottom, 'Paper Snips' and 'Multipurpose Liquid Glue' or an adhesive of your choice.

Inside the boxes; filled with coordinating treats! Did you notice the packing paper lined inside the boxes? It's a perfect fit: 2 strips criss-crossed at 6.5cm x 19.2cm (2 9/16" x 7 9/16") and enough to cover the treats before popping the lid on. How's that for recycling?

I also made some cards to go with the boxes... The sentiment is the same on all the cards as I purposely made a bunch for any occasion using the 'Perfectly Wrapped' stampset. All you need to do is add an appropriate sentiment inside the card. Or not. 

The 'Hardwood' Background stamp was used to make the wood panel circle and I used the '2" Circle Punch' for the backing cardstock circle and 'Layering Circle Framelits Dies' for the 'Hardwood' circle.

This card & gift box remind me of Fruit Salad. Yummy, yummy!

And the strawberry patch.

I love the 'Fruit Stand' Designer Series Paper. It's so pretty and colourful and I couldn't wait to use it!

And here is something wonderful; you can buy a Cardstock pack of 24 sheets (8 sheets of each colour) of the 'Fruit Stand A4 Cardstock' consisting of: Pear Pizzazz, Peakaboo Peach & Watermelon Wonder, to coordinate beautifully with the 'Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper'. How clever!!!

I hope you get a chance to purchase yourself the 'Fruit Stand Suite' of products. I didn't use the 'Fresh Fruit' stampset but that doesn't mean you need to miss out on this gorgeous stampset.

Get yourself ready to keep on hopping... the lovely Holly is up next, or you can go back to see the lovely Sara.

Thankyou so much for being here. D x
