What Will You Stamp 131? #WWYS131

What Will you Stamp Challenge number 131.

I hope that you like what I can come up with for these awesome challenges.

I hope more of you join in with these great stampset challenges as they are fun!

Such a cute set!

This is the first time that I have used it so I incorporated into last weeks class

This is called a Box Stand Card.
Apparently they were all the rage many many years ago.

This is the card flat. When you push the top part of the panel down (near the image peeking out the top) then it will form the box. I also placed a white panel on the back of the pop up to write on.
There are a few you tube videos on how to make it.

• Stamps: This Little Piggy
• Ink:  Soft Sky, Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Garden Green, Blushing Bride and Daffodil Delight
• Card: Painted Autumn DSP (sneak Peek) with Blushing Bride and Shimmery White

Welcome from the ever so talented Tanya Bell's page

This colour swatch is the lovely Kelly Kent's pick

I pulled out my Designer Series Stack and thought that the Dapper Denim paper that gradually gets lighter would be the perfect background.

I achieved this by cutting lots of thin strips of paper from the sheet of DSP and laying it, slightly moving it across and sticking it down to make the moving pattern. The double sided sticky sheets are the best to use so you don't have to keep laying glue down for each strip.

• Stamps: Sentiment Colourful Seasons
• Ink: Basic Grey
• Card: Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Basic Grey, Dapper Denim and Colour Theory DSP Stack
• Tools: Seasonal Layers Thinlits, Layering Circles Framelits and Seaside embossing folder with the bigshot
• Embelishments: Dimensionals, Glitter enamel dots

Up next is Nikki Spencer  who has the most beautiful project

Just Add Ink Challenge 373 #JAI373

Just Add Ink Challenge #373

I haven't done a JAI challenge for ages so I thought I had better jump on in this week!

I love this!

I used two different stencils on my card can you see them?

The first stencil is sponged with crumb cake and the brick background stencil and the second stencil I made with the butterfly from the move me bundle! I cut the background and coloured some embossing paste in wisteria wonder and when it dried I placed the second (wing) stencil over the top and coloured embossing paste with berry burst.
Adorable and lots of texture!

This card is on its way to a lovely family who has lost their father/ grandfather. I had a lot to do with them when I worked in my job in Busselton at Mandalay.

• Stamps: sentiment from Best Birds
• Ink:  Crumb Cake, Berry Burst and Wisteria Wonder
• Card: Whisper White and Crumb Cake
• Tools: Crumb Cake Stampin' Write Marker, Move Me Thinlits with the bigshot and the Brick Stencil from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks
• Embellishments:  Embossing Paste

Global Design Project #GDP099

Its been a little while since I did the Global Design Project and I noticed it was a wedding/ anniversary theme this week.... perfect as we went to a wedding on Friday last week.

I really love weddings and most of our friends are married now so it is lovely when you get to go to one and get all dressed up!

Here is the card I made for them

I must have been in a rush to take this picture as it was a double slider card with a small pocket in the top for the money (or you could put a voucher). This was the only picture that I took.

Here is a sneak peek of the happy couple on their day - 

Hayley and Joe - Image is from Defy Imaging

Don't they look gorgeous?? It was a rustic wedding at Darlington Estate Winery. 

My shoes are wrecked from the flooring there but it was a wonderful arvo/ evening to be had by all who were lucky enough to go.

• Stamps: Jar of Love
• Ink: Memento Black, Pool Party, Wild Wasabi, Berry Burst, Pink Pirouette and Versamark
• Card:  Foil Specialty DSP, Whisper White and Berry Burst

I am very happy to say that this colour swatch is my one!

EEEEEKKKK!! Now to do it justice!

I made one of my old faves.... an easel card

Side view

Laid flat fully closed.

So here it is! My cute floral arrangement easel card...

This card I tried to be a little tricky.
I cut the jar framelit from the crumb cake, stamped the jar onto the vellum and attached it to the back of the crumb cake panel.
There is an extra white piece behind the vellum with the water stamped onto it.
I very very carefully cut a small slit above the stamped jar on the vellum and slid the stems into the jar to make it appear as if they are inside.
The linen thread was also very carefully cut into the sides of the jar to make it look like it is wrapped around the jar.

The middle flower on the inside of the card is popped up on a dimensional so it acts like a stopper for when the card is fully open.
This would have to be one of the easiest styles of cards to make.

• Stamps: Beautiful Bouquet and Jar of Love
• Ink: Basic Black, Elegant Eggplant, Pool Party and Bermuda Bay
• Card: Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Lemon Lime Twist, Crumb Cake &Vellum
• Tools: Bouquet Bunch & Everyday Jars Framelits with the bigshot
• Embelishments: Dimensionals, Linen Thread and wink of stella

I luckily taught a double slider card last week in our card group so I thought it was perfect for this challenge.

I love how effective a double slider is and it came out just great!
I did a lot of masking off on the front this card.

It is such a simple but such an effective technique :-)
