Global Design Project Colour Challenge #GDP137

 Hello and welcome. What a gorgeous colour challenge for Global Design Project #GDP137. Such a pretty combination.

Today is Mother's Day in Australia so I have created a Mother's Day card for my GDP submission. I thought the stamp set 'Flying Home' was so very appropriate with the mother bird feeding her three little chicks. I have 2 sisters and my mother is still always trying to feed us even though we are grown women with grown families of our own.

I have been meaning to try the Embossing Paste for a while now but have been putting it in the too hard box. Silly me though it is as simple to use as spreading butter on a slice of bread but with a more stunning effect and less calories. For my projects I have used the Shimmery White Paste but it also comes in plain white and silver.
I have heat embossed my birdies onto Shimmery White Cardstock, water coloured them for a soft effect, then fussy cut the image and attached it to Whisper White Cardstock.

Every Mother's Day I make a small gift for the mother's in my family. This year I have made some little gift boxes containing a scented candle using the colours from the challenge.

The stamp set I have used is the soon to retire 'Floral Phrases' set. You can find the instructions for these little gift boxes here at Flutter By Heidi. Thank you Heidi for sharing.

And a big thank you to you for visiting me today.

Let's Party!

Hello and welcome. Global Design Project #GDP134 is a Sketch Challenge. So continuing with my own challenge to use my Designer Series Paper before it retires I have based my cards around the Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper. 

  

 

I have created a gift card holder with the also soon to be retired Mini Treat Bag Thinlits. Just pull on the ribbon to reveal a gift card holder stamped with the Picture Perfect Birthday coordinating stamp set.

 Using the same sketch from the challenge I have created 5 easy cards with the different designs in the DSP pack, coordinating them with different coloured cardstock.  

   The party blowouts card is my favourite. I love the way the colours pop against the Bermuda Bay cardstock.

 

So I now have a stash of genetic birthday cards on hand which took very little effort to create. Yay!

Global Design Project #GDP132

Hello and welcome. For Global Design Project #GDP132 we are CASEing this beautiful project by Stesha Bloodhart.

CASE = Copy and Selectively Edit.  

Today I have used the same layout as Stesha for my project but have swapped out the stamp set for the gorgeous Cake Soiree from the Cake Soiree Bundle. Creating 2 pretty cards and a tag to adorn the Silver Mini Gable Box.

Because the leaves in the set were a solid stamp to achieve a water coloured image I painted ink onto my stamp surface with my aqua painter then stamped the image.

 

For my cake card I have CASEd another very talented designer Louise Sharp, a member of the Global Design team. I loved the beautiful colours Louise used when she water coloured her cake so I have attempted to colour mine with the same colour combinations. So pretty.

   

For the tag I used the rose outline die cut from the set as a mask and sponged the background to add a little interest. 

  Thank you for joining me today. Supplies for these projects are listed below for your convenience. Feel like more inspiration? Then pop on over to the Global Design Project page to view more projects from this challenge. 

Enjoy your crafting. Bye for now.
