Something Saturday - Long Time No See

Hi there Creators, Well today I just had to show off this idea I had for my new stamp set: "Long Time No See" (click the link to see it)  I couldn't resist the idea of making the bodies longer, with pull out pieces. This is the one I started in the video all finished:  I've used the Regals Stampin' Write Markers to colour my Alpaca & Christmas Decorations in, and some of my favourite bling; Drusy Adhesive Backed embellishments , Oh they are soooo shiny! 😍 I'm so happy with the way it turned out! Then of course I had to have a play with the sausage dog.....  using the Brights Stampin' Write Markers this time, and the Happy Labels Pick a Punch to create the Ticket look for the sayings I took a couple of "how to" photos as I was making this second card and thought I'd share with you: First up stamp the dog on the top piece of card Then  add some body to him, plus stamp his tail and extra body onto other card, and cut out, then cut a slit a...

Global Design Project (GDP081)

-

Hi Everyone,
I keep meaning to join in the Global Design Project, and by the time I know it, the week has gone... again!
So this time I'm hoping to get in on the act with this card, I've created it for friends we know who've just had a baby boy, bet you can't guess his name - lol!
The brief is a colour combo this time, Night of Navy,  White and a free colour


Here we are my creation! those who know me will know I'm not a traditional light blue and light pink baby card person, so this palette suited me well for this card
 Not sure it shows up terribly well, but I've used Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper to create the name, then sponged/daubed the Night of Navy to 1/2 way up (I love this graduated colour look), I've used some of the beautiful Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper in the background.
Then the little teddy out of the Bookcase Builder Stamp set, and also the saying from Baby Bear Stamp set.  The extra colour I've used is the Silver Foil line across the middle of the card I think it gives just the right amount of zing to the card😊
I hope they like it, and it makes it into a baby album at some point!  What do you think? have you ever tried sponging the Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper?

I hope it inspires you to have a go!
God Bless love

    What a super special Baby card you have created Heather. Love how you've added sparkle by using sponged glimmer paper for the name. Thank you so much for playing along with this week's Global Design Project Colour challenge! Look forward to seeing you play along with us again soon.

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...
