Global Design Project #GDP142 Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome. Global Design Projects #GDP142 is a sketch challenge week. I love the Global Design Project sketch challenges as you don't have to think as most of the work is done for you, just pick your colours and go. Which is good for me as this week I will have a stand at the upcoming Craft and Quilt Fair at Darling Harbour. Commencing this Wednesday it runs right through until Sunday. So I have been busy, busy busy preparing for it. If you happen to be around Sydney from this Wednesday until Sunday call in, say hello and have a look at the gorgeous projects we have been creating with products from the new catalogue.

I have created my card for the challenge using the Time for Tea Suite. I fell in love with the suite as soon as I opened the catalogue. It reminds me of the days as a child shopping with my Mum and as a treat we would call in for a cup of tea and scone at the Tea Room in town. The patterns in the designer series paper reflects the prints popular at the time. 

I have added another two cards but I have only just starting to get a feel for this suite so there will be more to come.

Thank you for visiting me today. I hope you find inspiration from my projects. For even more inspiration using this sketch design pop on over to the Global Design Project page here.

Beautiful Succulents

Welcome to my page. I'm so glad you dropped by. Global Design Project #GDP124 is CASE my very favourite Australian Designer, Demonstrator and dear friend the very talented Louise Sharp.

Louise has used the Oh So Succulent stamp set and coordinating Succulent Framelits for her card. Unfortunately the stamp set has retired but the Succulent Framelits are still available on the Clearance Rack in my online store.
To CASE Louise's card I have used the succulent images and attempted to watercolour in the beautiful colour combinations she has used on her card.
I heat embossed the stamp images onto Watercolour Paper then used a Blender Pen to gradually build up the colours. Some of the succulents were embossed straight onto the card front and others were die cut and added using Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots to give varying levels of height.

If you think the Succulent Framelits wouldn't be of any use to you without the stamp set here is a closeup of the 3D display I have made with just the dies, some cardstock and a little ink daubering. I will never part with my Succulent Framelits.

Thank you for visiting me today. Listed below are the products I have used for my card. If you would like to see how other stampers have interpreted Louise's Design pop on over to Global Design Project.

Happy stamping!

I"m In Love!

Hello and welcome! Yes I am in love! In love with the Painted with Love Suite in Stampin' Ups! 2018 Occasions catalogue. The whole suite is gorgeous the Sure Do Love You stamp set and it's coordinating dies, the Gold Glitter Flakes, Love Mini Tinsel Trim Combo Pack and the Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper with it's beautiful painted images and brushed gold accents is something to die for.

What better way to highlight the suite than with this weeks Inspire. Create. Stamping Challenge Theme: Love

I sat down to make a card and ended up with a 2 cards, 3 gift cards, a chocolate holder and a gift box. I just couldn't help myself.

This little chocolate container was one of the first class projects I taught 6 years ago when I first became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. Thinking it would be perfect for this suite I went searching for my pattern and of course couldn't find it so I have had to make it from scratch.  

This is what is hiding under the cover. If you would like the measurements they are as follows.

Cut the long side of a piece of A4 Melon Mambo Cardstock at 9cm.

Score the long side at 1cm, 10cm, 11cm, 20cm.

Fold and burnish score lines.

Cut Designer Series Paper 8cm x 8cm for front panel. Cut 2 pieces Whisper White Cardstock for  the inside panels 8cm x 8cm.

Decorate as you wish for any occasion by swapping out the stamp set, die shapes, designer series paper and cardstock to match the treat you want to give eg. Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day.

This cute little box was made with the Sure Do Love You Framelit Dies. The box could contain treats but the Narrow Cards and Envelopes included as part of the suite fit neatly in the box as well.

 Heart Happiness is another stamp set available in the 2018 Occasions catalogue which can be used in conjunction with the Painted With Love Suite.

Who doesn't love Pandas? This little fellow is a member of the Party Panda stamp set you can have for FREE with every $90 purchase plus postage during Sale-A-Bration. 

All the products I have used today are available from my online store.

Thank you for visiting me today and you are invited to drop on over to the Inspire.Create.Challenges website for more inspiration.

Until next time happy stamping!
