GDP #253 - Color Challenge

 Hello!! I am a guest stamper over at this week's Global Design Project challenge. Woo hoo! I won last month's challenge so I get the honor of participating with the Design Team on this month's color challenge. Check out the challenge HERE. And what a great color combo it is this week!

These are fun colors this week! They scream bright and summery to me! I decided to go with making a Happy Birthday card. I wanted to use the Playful Alphabet dies to make a card. Here is my creation below.

I stamped the line image from the set in versamark on Bumble Bee cardstock and embossed to get the stripes on Happy. I added that on to a die cut from the Hippo and Friends dies. Then I used the Well Written Dies to cut out birthday in Granny Apple Green.

I stamped the hearts from the Pattern Play stamp set in Granny Apple Green and then cut them out. The background paper is from the Playing with Patterns DSP. I just love those Calypso Coral polka dots. And the finishing touch on the card is the In Color enamel dots. 

How fun are these colors together?? Play along with the Global Design Team this week for a chance to become next month's guest designer!

Have a great day!

Stampin' Fancy Friday - Sweet Suites Challenge

Hello! Today I am here to share my card for the Stampin' Fancy Friday challenge for July. I'm a little late in posting on the blog but you can still use the challenge as inspiration for you next card! July's challenge is focusing on one of our favorite product suites from the new catalog. It was hard for me to pick but I really fell in love with the Playing with Patterns suite. The Playful Alphabet Dies are the cutest letters ever! They are the perfect size and are really a playful font.

I decided to make a shaker card. I cut out "THANK" on a piece of Night of Navy card stock. I used the line image from the stamp set to stamp several lines in Night of Navy ink on the card stock. Then I added a window sheet behind the word. I used the foam adhesive strips and added it to the back of the Night of Navy cardstock. I placed a bunch of sequins on the Playing with Patterns DSP and then adhered the Night of Navy piece on top.

I then cut out "YOU" with another piece of  Playing with Patterns DSP and the Foam adhesive sheets. I added these letters right under "THANK"

To finish off the card, I added some of the Playing with Patterns Resin dots in Purple Posy (LOVE THESE!!!) and Night of Navy ribbon from the Playing with Patterns ribbon combo pack.
