Global Design Project #442

 

Hello! Global Design Project has a great sketch to play along with for this week. I used a few of the Online Exclusive items for the project, Fluffiest Friends Bundle and Textured Timber Stamp Set. The other items I used was the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and Beach Day Stamp Set (bundle also available) for the greeting. I tied a little Linen Thread around for extra texture.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a chance to see all the amazing designer's cards on the Global Design Project Blog. Have a great day!

love Latte Love!

 

I am officially obsessed with the Latte Love Bundle and A Little Latte DSP! I had so much fun creating this little coffee scene! I also used the Online Exclusive Textured Timber Stamp Set for the table and then embossed it with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder for extra texture. I wanted the DSP to look like wallpaper on the wall in my kitchen scene. For the coffee pot and cups I used the dies and cut them with Basic White Cardstock and colored with Stampin' Blends. The back panel is embossed with the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. 

Make sure to check out the Online Exclusive Items. So much goodness. Thanks for stopping by!

Radiating Stitches Dies

 

I love the heart from the Radiating Stitches Dies. I created a wreath with it in a rainbow order. The hearts are die cut with Fluid Watercolor Paper and then I smooshed them in ink refills diluted with a little water. Such an fun and easy technique. I flicked a little Early Espresso Ink and Crumb Cake Ink on the the largest of Radiating Stitches Dies frames with a Water Painter. The sentiment is from the Wanted to Say Dies. I finished it off with a few Iridescent Rhinestone. Happy crafting!

Latte Love

 

Hi! I have to apologize I only have one photo of this card. I took a few others however they turned out blurry and I didn't realize it until now. Anyway, I used the Online Exclusive Latte Love Bundle and A Little Latte DSP. I love this suite! I do not do fun folds very often and when I do I do very simple ones! This card I used a A2 size card, folded it in half and then cut off half of the front panel. I used a piece of Fluid Watercolor Paper and Water Painter with Pecan Pie Ink Refill to create the panel that the cups are on. The cups are die cut from the DSP. I also used 2 of the other patterns of paper for the other panels. This all made the card come together very quickly. The greetings are white heat embossed. 

I hope you enjoy this card. I am really having a blast playing with these products.  Check them out in the Online Exclusive Store!

Hand Stamped Sentiments #436

 

Are you ready for a fresh new Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge? This is a fun combination of color! I have not used the Planted Paradise Stamp Set yet so I decided to pull it out for this challenge. I also used the Radiating Stitches Dies, Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder (retiring) and the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. 

After I stamped the plants I used Watercolor Pencils Asst. 1 to color in the veins. I added a little Smoky Slate Stampin' Blend under the plant so that it did not look like it was floating. For the greeting I used one of the sentiments from the Rustic Crate Stamp Set to create a tag and added a little Linen Thread finish off the tag. I finished off the card with a few Pearls that I added to the Petal Pink container.

Thanks so much for visiting me today! I can't wait to see what you create with this color combo! Have a great week!

TGIF Challenge #468

 

I love sketch challenges! TGIF Challenges has a fun sketch and I couldn't wait to play along! I used the Latte Love Bundle for my card. I love coffee sets and this one is so cute and the dies are amazing! If you are having a hard time finding it that is because it is an Online Exclusive Bundle. I die cut all the cute images with Fluid Watercolor Paper and then did a technique called smooshing. The way that I like to do it is smoosh a little ink from either a ink pad or a drop of ink refill on Silicone Craft sheet and then spritz with water. Then I take the watercolor die and smoosh it in the ink. Let it dry and you can always resmoosh it if you would like extra ink.

The background is Basic White Cardstock with embossed with Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and then I used the edge of the scissors to distress the edges. For the greeting I white heat embossed the greeting on Early Espresso Cardstock and then fussy cut. I stamped the greeting again on a piece of Basic White Cardstock and then used Black Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the "hello there". Before I adhered the card together I did a little ink splatter with Pecan Pie Ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Make sure to check out the amazing talent on the TGIF blog.

Sending a hello!

 

I am so glad that the Bird's Eye View Stamp Set is not retiring! I love this set so much. For this card I combined it with the Sending Dies and Sending Smiles Stamp Set (both are retiring). The background is the Basics 3D Embossing Folder that I had ink blended before running through the folder. After I embossed it I sprinkled clean water to add a little extra texture. The paper behind the bird is Winter Meadow DSP, one of my favorite papers!

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope to see you soon!

Sending Smiles

 

I have been using all my retiring items for one last time and today I used the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. I combined this with the Radiating Stitches Dies, Basic's 3D Embossing Folder and Wanted to Say Dies. I love this bold greeting! The white cardstock on the black background really makes a statement!

Don't forget to order retiring products today before they are gone!

Waves of Inspiration

 

The Waves of Inspiration Stamps and Waves Dies are retiring in less than a month. You will want to get them for creating fun beach cards. I combined them with the Basics 3D Embossing Folders for this card. I also added a little Baker's Twine (white) behind the white heat embossed sentiment. I love all the texture of this card! The card also uses Tahitian Tide a retiring color so if you want the ink or cardstock get it now before it is sold out.

Have a great day!

Taco Time

 

*So sorry to say that by the time I posted this the Taco Fiesta Stamp Set was no longer available. I apologize for the inconvenience. 

Taco Fiesta is almost retired. Can you believe that April is half over already? And this stamp set will be gone forever! You will want to order it now for that fiesta you are having! The Border Basics Dies are also a must have and they are also going to be gone! Parakeet Party Cardstock is one of the retiring incolors and will be gone quick so grab some while you still can. 

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today! I would love if you left a message to let me know what you think of the retiring items. Have a great Day!
