Merry and Bright

Hello crafters,

I hope you are all well and embracing the Christmas spirit!  Now for something a bit different!  I have a Christmas card made with Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White and gold glimmer paper.  The frame is stamped from the Ready to Pop set which is not Christmassy in the slightest!

I also used one of the beautiful Floral Affection embossing folders - you get two folders in the set.  I rounded the corners of the base and topper with the Project Life corner punch.  A super easy technique but it adds another level of interest.  You can find the full supply list at the end of the post.

Happy crafting,

Seasonal Bells

Hi Crafters,

It's that time of year again and my favourite crafting season.  I have a clean and simple card for you today using the Seasonal Bells bundle.  There is good news for any fans of this bundle, it is carrying over!  Woo!  This means we don't need to say goodbye at the end of the Autumn/Winter period on 31 December.

I completed my card with a flash of washi tape at the bottom.  I love how this turned out and it was super simple too.  The full supply list is at the end of this post.

Have you seen the new Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer catalogue?  It is so fabulous.  If you would like a complimentary copy, please let me know by 18 December as they will be sent out the following day.

Is it just delightful?!  Any favourites yet?  I am loving the Dragonflies.  

Happy crafting,

Hi Crafters,

I'm back with another entry for the Global Design Project.  The theme this week is a colour combo challenge.

What a delightful combination and I had so much fun creating my entry.  I didn't have any Watermelon Wonder cardstock so it was a case of improvising!

I used one of the new masks from the Autumn/Winter 2016 catalogue to create the gold embossed strip at the side.  This is actually from the inked stencil in Versamark on Whisper White cardstock and heat embossed in gold.

Next I used Night of Navy cardstock and ran it through the new Pretty Paisleys Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I added gold embossing powder here too.  My topper is simple two die-cut ovals, with the first inked in Watermelon Wonder.  I used stamps from the Cottage Greetings and One Big Meaning sets.

I would like to enter the Global Design Project Challenge #053 - Colour Challenge

Happy crafting,
Rachel

Hello again!

I'm back for the second time today and this time I have a kinetic baby card for you.  This is super easy to make but really has a wow factor.  

I started with a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock cut to 4" by 12" and scored at 2", 4", 8" and 10".  Marking the central point along the long edge with a pencil, I scored from that point to the outermost scoreline, top to bottom, in a diagonal direction to form crosses.  Once the card is folded the centre diamond pops forward to stand up.  The rectangle panels were made using Night of Navy cardstock (3.75" by 1.75") embossed with the Fluttering embossing folder.  I absolutely love this folder!

To create my central topper, I used the Made with Love stamp set and stamped in Night of Navy onto one of the patterned papers in the In Colours 2016-18 paper pad.  The onesie from this stamp set co-orindates with the Baby's First Framelits.  I added a sentiment from Thoughtful Banners and used a flower from the Made with Love stamp set to finish it off.  The label shape was made using the Classic Label punch and both were raised up on Stampin' Dimensionals.

I would like to enter this card into the Global Design Project challenge #052 - Case the Designer (#GDP052)

Happy crafting
