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.

Global Design Project 113 Colour Challenge

Hello and welcome! I feel very privileged to have been fortunate enough to be chosen as a guest designer for the Global Design Project Colour Challenge.

The colours chosen for the challenge are Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party and Pear Pizzaz. 

 These colours are close to my heart as they are the colours of my little crafty webpage elf. Here he is to say hello. 

For the Colour challenge I have used the Tags and Trimmings Bundle to create a gift card holder. If you were to turn the stocking over you would discover it is actually a pillow box. Perfect for a small gift, gift card or chocolate.

These thinlit dies are so versatile if you cut 2 of the pillow box dies you can create a pillow box by itself which would be suitable for gift giving all year round. With this little box I have double punched out the centre with the Everyday Label Punch and adhered a piece of Window Sheet to the inside to reveal the boxes contents.

Or by placing the cutting edge of the stocking thinlit just left of your folded cardstock you could take your stocking to the next level and create a card. 

The pocket on the inside was made by trimming the pillow box sides and bottom edge back and scoring 1/4" around the 3 trimmed sides, folding along the score lines and attaching to the inside of the card with Tear and Tape.
I twisted some pipe cleaners together for my candy cane and added a chocolate Santa.

 


  I think these little stockings would be a perfect gift for family, friends or as teachers thank you gifts. The Trim Your Stocking set of dies come with so many thinlits, 19 in total, and can be purchased separately or as a bundle with a coordinating stamp set Tags and Trimmings. Or you can purchase the stamp set separately as well. Just click on the pictures at the bottom of this page and they will take you straight to my Online Store.

 Photographed here is the set of projects ready for Christmas gift giving.
Thank you for visiting me today. Pop on over to the Global Design Project page to see other many more cards the very talented stampers have made for this challenge.
Happy stamping.

Global Design Project #GDP093

Global Design Project #GDP093 is a colour challenge

I have been dying to ink up my Oh So Eclectic stamp set and this weeks challenge gave me the best excuse to do so. These colours look so lovely together and I enjoyed creating this card for a close friend celebrating her birthday this week.

We normally wouldn't give each other gifts but I couldn't resist making a little coordinating gift bag with the Gift Bag Punch Board to hold her favourite chocolates.

Listed below are the supplies I have used. If you wish to purchase any of these products just click on the photos below and they will take you straight to my online store.

Thank you for visiting my website today. Happy Stamping!
