Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges Challenge #053

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and thank you for joining me today for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #053. Challenge #053 is a Sketch Challenge.  

I had a number of cards to create this week so I thought I would use the sketch from the challenge for all of them just to showcase the versatility of our Stampin' Up! products.

My first card is a very simple Christmas card. To create it I chose to gold emboss the 3 ornaments from the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set. This set coordinates with the Gleaming Ornaments Punch. As you may be able see two of my ornaments where punched out of the front panel and then recessed inside the punched out images and the centre ornament is mounted on Stampin' Dimensionals to give depth and dimension to my card.

The Perfectly Plaid Stamp set was my next choice, with the coordinating Pine Tree Punch, for a card I needed to create for my Stamp-A-Stack class. Same again with this card the little tree is punched out of the front panel then a piece of Wrapped in Plaid DSP is recessed behind the panel to add dimension.

And my third card is for my Granddaughter who made her Confirmation this week. Created with the same sketch but with a portrait orientation using the Hold On To Hope Stamp Set and coordinating Cross of Hope Framelits.

Global Design Project #GDP104

Global Design Project for this week is CASE the Designer Alison Okamitsu

I needed to create a Confirmation card for my Granddaughter, Molly and was racking my brains as to which stamp set to use. 

Then light bulb moment!

The little church edgelit in the Hearts Come Home Bundle. 

Although featured in the Holiday catalogue as a Christmas set the Hearts Come Home Bundle could be used for many occasions such as Christenings, weddings or

 as a welcoming card for a new neighbour. Just to name a few.                                                                                                                             

For my card I have changed the orientation of the oval shape to accommodate the church steeple but have tried to keep to the basic layout of Allison's lovely card.

I have also made a Christmas card and some sweet little tags with vellum backing which would be a pretty way to adorn a gift for someone special.

 Listed below are the products I have used, You can visit my online store any time day and night and you don't even have to change out of your pyjamas.
Thank you for dropping by and happy stamping.
