Global Design Project 447 #GDP447

 



I made a card to showcase with my class ladies last month using some retired paper but the dies are in the annual catalogue. 
I am a bit of a 3d cardmaker and try to incorporate this into my classes each month.
Here is what I came up with...




Standing Tiered Accordion Fold Card is apparently what it is called. I didn't have a die to cut out the sentiment, so I used the circles from the stylish shapes dies to cut the top of the sentiment and then my trimmer for the sides.

  • Stamps: Legendary Ride
  • Ink: Memento Black
  • Card: Basic Black, Basic White, Pumpkin Pie, Grey Granite, Silver Foil and Ready to Ride DSP (currently on the clearance rack)
  • Tools: Legendary Ride Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies as well as Metal Plate 3D embossing folder with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
  • Embellishments: Dimensionals, Adhesive Backed Studs (retired) 
  • GDP447

ESAD New Annual Catalogue Blog Hop

 


Welcome to another ESAD blog hop!
I am so lucky to be in this group of talented demonstrators (friends) and I hope that you enjoy all our projects using products from the New 2024-2025 Annual Catalogue.


You have either started with myself or come around from Kathryn's page




To be perfectly honest... I organized this blog hop a couple of weeks ago and thought ah I have plenty of time to make something.... well it is Saturday afternoon that I am writing this and I have run out of time... you see I have been at the hospital all morning with my daughter and her dislocated pinky finger from "training" at basketball, and not even her own team. These things happen and I will not post a picture here as I nearly vomited when I saw it before I took her to hospital. Anyway I will hopefully whip something up with the gorgeous new products from the new annual catty tonight.... 

Then I thought...hmmmm I will recreate a recent card that I have made....
and i did...


This card was re-made in record time and I am loving Petunia Pop at the moment...
I had purchased this bundle in pre-order but hadn't used it until a couple of weeks ago.
I need to invest in some of the new in colour stampin blends so I can make everything all matchy matchy.


  • Stamps: Attention Shoppers
  • Ink:  Memento Black & Petunia Pop
  • Card: Basic White, Petunia Pop, Unbound Beauty DSP, Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper, Silver Foil Sheets 
  • Tools: Attention Shoppers Dies with a Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine. Pretty Peacock, Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather (and I did use retired Rococo Rose) Stampin Blends
  • Embellishments: - In Colour resin dots and Stampin' Dimensionals

Global Design Project #GDP445

 




My Son is doing his confirmation on the weekend and I needed to make a card for his special sponsor. These colours are gorgeous and I wanted to crack into a new bundle that I have been playing with.




Using the Zinnia 3d embossing folder on the background just finishes this card off nicely. I am sure that his sponsor will love it.... I will post a picture on Sunday of them together.
It is very subtle but the rhinestones are actually coloured with a Petal Pink Stampin Blend.


  • Stamps: Unbounded Love and Flowers of Beauty
  • Ink: Pretty Peacock and Moody Mauve
  • Card: Basic White Thick, Basic White, Pretty Peacock, Petal Pink and Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Tools: Unbounded Love and Flowers of Beauty Dies as well as Zinnia 3D embossing folder with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Dark Petal Pink Stampin Blend
  • Embellishments: Dimensionals, Rhinestones and White twine
