Global Design Project 243 - Floral Theme

Hi Crafters,

I am entering the Global Design Project challenge 243 today and the theme is floral.  
I have made two clean and simple cards using the new Celebrate Sunflowers bundle.  I hope they bring you inspiration and if you would like to create your own, head to my online shop.  


My first card features a Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede and gold foil sunflower.  I changed up the colours for the second card, using Basic Black and Mango Melody.  There is also a hint of shimmer on the sunflower centre with a touch of Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.  I kept the layout and sentiment the same for both cards.  This would be a good design to mass produce too.  


I created a card base using a half sheet of A4 thick Whisper White cardstock.  The frame behind the sunflower was created using the largest two squares from the Layering Square Dies in Whisper White cardstock.  I cut five frames and glued together with Liquid Multipurpose Glue.  I stamped the sunflower image in Daffodil Delight onto Crushed Curry cardstock, using a sponge dauber for the centre with Soft Suede ink.  I cut the image using the co-ordinating die from the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle.  I added a gold foil die cut on top and finished with a sentiment from the stamp set in Daffodil Delight.  


My second card was started in the same way but I used Basic Black cardstock for the square frame behind the sunflower.  I stamped the sunflower image in Mango Melody ink onto Mango Melody cardstock and then cut the layering sunflower pieces in Basic Black cardstock.  


I used a sponge dauber and some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint for the centre of the flower before adhering the layers together.  I stamped the same sentiment in Mango Melody ink to finish off this card.  


I would like to enter these cards into the following challenges:


Happy crafting,

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Foil and Glimmer

Hi Crafters,

This is the last Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop of 2019 and our theme is Foil and Glimmer.  Oh the possibilities!  Keep hopping with us for international inspiration featuring Stampin' Up! products.  I love anything sparkly or shiny so this theme was a real treat!


I've made two cards, one featuring Stampin' Up!'s Silver Glimmer Paper and the other showcases our Gold Foil Sheets.  The cards have been made with the same layout and techniques but they look pretty different!  


For the card above I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock and placed tape along all four sides to create a frame.  I added colour to the centre area with Flirty Flamingo and Smoky Slate inks, blending in the middle.  I removed the tape and stamped my sentiment which is from the So Many Stars stamp set in Silver Delicata metallic ink.  It shows up much better in real life.  I adhered a star flourish die cut in Silver Glimmer Paper and then mounted the panel onto a Smoky Slate card base with liquid glue.  


My second card is a little more stepped up with an embossing folder and some gold pearl embellishments.  I used the same technique with the tape and Daffodil Delight and Old Olive inks.  I embossed the panel using the Country Floral 3D embossing folder.  I used gold foil sheet for the die cut sentiment and stacked this on top of three plain Whisper White die cuts for added dimension.  To finish I adhered three groups of gold pearls in a triangular formation to draw the eye around the sentiment.  

I hope our hop is making you feel sparkly and to keep hopping just click arrow button below to head to Amanda's wonderful creation.  Thanks so much for hopping along with us throughout 2019 and if you're new, we have lots more inspiration in store in 2020.  




Happy crafting,
