Stampin' Up! Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper Day 5

Hi Crafters,

Thanks for joining me for Day 5 of the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper feature.   There is still time to catch up on Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and especially Day 4 which is related to today's project.  

This is a very simple card but the sparkle detail really makes a statement.  I used the leftover piece of DSP which had Shimmery White Embossing Paste applied all over as the background and then added Rhinestones to the centres of each flower design.  I cut a piece of Powder Pink Shimmer Ribbon and attached this behind a layered Pretty Label Punch.  The shadow was created using two punched shapes in Whisper White.  My sentiment came from the brand new A Big Thank You stamp set which is definitely a must-have for any crafter.  The card was made using a Berry Burst card blank.

Here is a look at both cards together.  I just love the versatility of this DSP and the extended use by adding the Shimmery White Embossing Paste.  

Have you tried the embossing pastes from Stampin' Up! yet?  There are three colours to choose from and they add great texture and dimension without the weight so they are perfect for posting.  

Happy crafting,
Rachel x

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop 13 - Colour Challenge

Hi Crafters,

The international crafters from Global Stamping Friends are back with another blog hop to inspire you.  I hope you enjoyed our special anniversary blog hop - if you missed it you can still view my post and hop along.  It's a lot of fun taking part in blog hops and we really appreciate all your support.

This month we are bringing you colour inspiration using the following palette:

I was struggling to choose which idea to try out with this group of colours - so many options!  Finally I settled for one of my favourite sets from the Annual Catalogue called Colorful Seasons.  It really does take you through all seasons.  

I was also inspired by the current challenge over at Global Design Project which features a sketch.  

I've been channeling my festive side and have created a wintry card using the branch and snowflake images.

My main panel is simply stamped in Smoky Slate, Pool Party and Night of Navy and then I drew a string with the Smoky Slate Stampin' Write Marker to attach the snowflakes to the branches.  I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the centres of the snowflakes for some bling.  You can never have too much sparkle, especially at Christmas.  I stamped my greeting from the brand new Cheers to the Year stamp set from the new Autumn/Winter Catalogue in Smoky Slate and finished off with some Metallic Silver Thread.  

Keep hopping to Ellen's blog using the next arrow below.  I can't wait to see what everyone has created.  I know everyone's ideas will be so different.  

We would love you to leave a comment to let us know you've visited.  I hope you've been inspired by our colour challenge to get stamping.  You are certainly in for a treat with the new Autumn/Winter Stampin' Up! catalogue which launched today.  If you would like a catalogue sent out by post, simply drop me an email with your name and address and I'll send one out directly to you. 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge:
