You're so sublime ft Perpetual Birthday Calendar - Follow your heart

Hello!

I finally get to share my entry for this week's Global Design Project Theme Challenge (#gdp063)!The theme being "Adventure"... I decided to CASE one of my own cards. I wanted to keep it simple.

A BIG reminder that the 28th of November '16 is the last day for Stampin' Up!'s  Online Extravaganza and will feature a 24 hour Flash Sale! Don't miss out!

To get back to my entry for this week! I love the little caravan in the You're Sublime stamp set and thought that it will work just perfectly for this week's challenge!



To me a road trip spells adventure...and following your heart is definitely an adventure!





I cannot get enough of the Gold Baker's Twine from the Trio Pack in the Holiday Catalogue!

Notes

  • Just adding the splatter image from the Timeless Textures stamp set makes all the difference!
  • To colour the Caravan I used my trusty Aqua Blender, Shimmery Whitecardstock and three of my favorite Stampin'Up! colours!
  • I was unable to capture the glimmer on camera but my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush pen added even more dazzle to my fussy cut caravan image!
I love how this card turned out! Leave a comment if you like it too!

I wish for you a wonderful week and hope that you get to spend some time crafting! If you are running out on your papercrafting supplies, please don't hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to help you out! Below you will find a gallery of the products I used to create this card!

Take care!

Day 3 of Stampin'Up!'s Online Extravaganza - Merry & Bright (23 November '16)

Hello!

http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/melsstampinblog/promotions


Welcome to Day 3 of our Online Extravaganza! Today I'm sharing another Christmas card using three more of my favorite products on sale at the moment! The Stitched with Cheer Photopolymer stamp set, Seasonal Decorative Masks and the Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies!



The sponged mask background really packs a punch!


Look how beautifully the Stitched with Cheer images coordinates with the Warmth & Cheer Designer Series Paper!

Notes
  • Before sponging over the mask I suggest that you keep the mask in place over the cardstock with Washi tape.
  • I used Crumb Cake to sponge over the Kraft cardbase.
  • This card is very easy to replicate, you can have them all ready to go for class mates, teachers, family and friends in no time! Why not get a few friends together for some moral support!

Peaceful Pines bundle ft Cristmas Magic - Merriest Wishes

Hello again!

From a scorching hot day yesterday to a rainy day here in Perth today! I spent some quiality time in my craftroom yesterday and this morning and will be sharing my Global Design Project Sketch challenge entry with you today(#gdp062)! A bit of sad news though, the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies that are featured in my card, have sold so well that they will not be available for sale from the 22nd of November'16! Don't dispair!They will be in next year's Annual Catalogue (available June 2017)! Do not miss out on the 25% discount on the coordinating stamp sets though - that deal is still very much on!


I decided to try something different for this one!


What a beautiful sketch! Lots and lots of possibilities!



Look at that Fancy Frost Speciality Designer Series Paper!

Notes

  • I did change the sketch orientation.
  • I used the same stamp from the Peaceful Pines stamp set but different sized Pene trees from the Perfect Pines Framelits Die set.
  • Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter gave my Pine trees a snowy effect!

Don't forget that you can find a list of the products that I used below! For your convenience I will also add a gallery of the stamps sets that are discounted at 25% until the 30th of November '16!

There you have it! I hope you like it - you can let my know by leaving a comment!

Take care and remember to make time for crafting!

Rose Wonder - Happy Birthday (or Wedding Wishes)

Hello!

Sometimes, when I feel brave, I ask my regular class attendees to suggest a theme for class! This time it was a wedding theme! This is what I came up with for card number 1!


Hues of Blue to congratulate the Mr and Mrs!



Because I had no upcoming weddings, there was a birthday option!


I love adding Gold embossing powder to Vellum cardstock for a softer shine.

Notes
  • I used a Stampin'  Spritzer to add water to the centre of a Watercolour Paper layer (just enough to allow for the ink to move) and then applied three different Blues of ink with an Aqua painter. I waited for this to dry (wink, wink I used my Heat Tool) before adding a watery ink splatter to the top right hand quarter.
  • I definitely suggest die cutting the Rose Thinlit with a Precision Base Plate - it really makes cutting intricate pieces a breeze!
Below you will find my product list for easy Online Shopping! Don't forget to add this month's Hostess Code - AVZMNAYW!
You can become a Stampin'  Up! Demonstrator in 3 easy steps (even if it is only to receive up to 25% discount every time you order or for our amazing Starter Kit).
