Floral Wings GDP004

Today I played along with the Global Design Project 004

Here is the card I made following the neutral color inspiration.

 

I embossed the sentiment and little roses on the dsp in gold.  The sentiment comes from the Host Stamp Set Floral Wings which you can purchase with your Stampin' Rewards on any order of $150 or more.  Check out all of the fun products I used on this card below:

Snow, snow, snow....man!

 

This cute little snowman sticker was so perfect to add to this tag I made with the curvy corner trio punch.  He brings so much joy to this card!  Lost lagoon, old olive and pool party and such a nice trio of wintery colors.  Spread some JOY today!

Teeny Tiny Wishes, Still A Favorite!

 

For this masculine card I used cajun craze and always artichoke to compliment the woodgrain ds paper.  The sentiment comes from the stamp set Teeny Tiny Wishes from Stampin' Up! which was one of the very first stamp sets I purchased as it has sentiments for almost everything!

For The New Two PPA269

Today's card is playing along with the PPA269: A Sketch Challenge

 

 

This was a tough sketch, but I am super happy with the way this card turned out.  I am loving Melon Mambo and Island Indigo mixed with splashes of Silver.  Check out all the supplies I used below.

Oh Baby! #GDP003

 

Today's card is a fun baby card playing along with the Global Design Project this week

 

 

I used lost lagoon and mint macaron card stock along with the neutrals design series paper stack.  The sentiment is from the petite pairs stamp set and is punched out using the large oval punch.



Mocha Mojo Monday 415

Today I played along with the Mojo Monday Sketch 415

 

If you know me even just a little bit you know I love COFFEE!!!  Especially my white chocolate and peppermint mochas from Starbucks!  So I just had to play with this new coffee cup die I got along with this fun coffee bean embossing folder.  I stamped the coffee beans in chocolate chip ink on the very vanilla cotton ribbon and sponged a little chocolate chip on the raised beans.  The sentiment comes from the retired stamp set Perfect Blend from Stampin Up!

Sprinkles of Life - GDP002

Today I played along with the Global Design Project 002 Sketch

I used the Sprinkles of Life stamp set from Stampin' Up! to portray this fun fall card showing the pile of leaves under the tree.  I used the Into The Woods DS Paper from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog and stamped the Hardwood stamp in Crumb Cake ink, then ran the piece of paper through the Wood Grain Embossing Folder and sponged Soft Suede ink over the wood grain for added texture.  Thanks for stopping by to check out this weeks design.

 

 

 

Here are the Stampin' Up! products that I used for this project:
