Sharing a little sneak peek of tomorrow’s Fun Fold Friday because my design was inspired by the TGIF Friday colour challenge and submissions need to happen today.
How striking is the #tgifc594 Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime & Black colour palette?
Loving how it came together! The black and white is so striking against the bright colours’
Come back tomorrow for all the details on how to make this fun fold.
For design number one I’m getting inky with the sneak peek July exclusive Festive Cheer, Stitched Season DSP and Peaceful Pine ribbon. Current Stylish shapes dies and Fern & Floral 3D embossing folder, rhinestone gems coloured red, Wink of Stella and Real Red and Old Olive ink paired with the Stitched Stockings stamps & punch and unbranded gold twine.

For design number two I’m getting inky with the leftover Stitched Season DSP scraps from my starburst, Exposed Brick embossing folder and Greetings for All ephemera pack, Wink of Stella paired with the Stitched Stockings stamps & punch, rhinestones coloured red and unbranded gold twine.
Second design sketch featuring 5 little stockings hung by the mantle ready for a Merry Christmas. Love the Wink of Stella on the stockings white cuffs & toes gives a glittery Christmas vibe.
The leftover strip was perfect for the AAA Card Challenge #318 Follow My Lead .
Addicted to CAS #311 prompt to use patterns challenge - have the repeating floral pattern in DSP.
Festive Friday World Emoji Challenge #FF0213 - I chose the inspiration words of yellow, glossy elements with the shimmer brush on some of my flowers, a circle, a speech bubble created with careful placement of pearls below my circle, fun sentiment.
Tic Tac Toe challenge #tttc296 fruit / patterned paper / summer colours along the top for the win. On the diagonal we have summer colours, die cut and layers as well.
The Paper Players theme challenge #PP793 Summer Love - I love having fun in the sun sipping lemonade and watching the butterfly’s in our flower garden.
Getting inky with the Summer Happiness bundle, Artisan Sketched Garden DSP, Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie inks and blends, Barely Blush and Crisp Canteloupe shimmer brushes, retired Butterfly Duet punch, Stylish Shapes dies and Antique Pearls.
Final result is a bright and cheerful card - trying to embrace the white space but couldn’t resist a little splatter using the glimmer brushes.
Welcome to another edition of Technique Tuesday - today I am playing with the Double Vision technique.
My final design was inspired by a few challenges.
Just Add Ink sketch challenge #JAI789 - perfect inspiration for trying out the Double Vision technique.
Inspire.Create Stampin’ Challenges colour palette #219 of Yellow, Pink and Orange. I’ve chosen Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie for my palette.
INKspirational visual prompt - inspired by the bright colours and florals.
I’m getting inky with the Artisan Designed Garden DSP, Greetings for All Mix & Match ephemera, Barely Blush & Crisp Canteloupe Shimmer Brushes, Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie inks and blends. Metallic Silver.
Technique is a quick one that adds cool depth and dimension to your designer paper.
Technique Steps:
Cut chosen DSP into strips - I have done 1/4” on the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP coloured with blends.
Adhere the strips to your base by alternating the use of flat layer with glue and a popped up layer using Dimension’s strips and repeat until all strips are adhered. Trim off excess if desired.
Complete your card design with a sentiment and embellishments of choice.
Quick process video of my card coming together:
A bright & summery thank you card for someone special. I had fun colouring the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP with the bright colours & shimmer brushes for those pops of sparkle.
Welcome to another edition of Masculine Vibes on Monday.
Today’s card design was inspired by playing along to a few challenges.
Inspired By … Cookies #IB395. I was inspired by both the colour palette, choosing Lost Lagoon, Pool Party and Crumb Cake, as well as the nautical theme of the cookies.
Over at Tic Tac Toe challenges #tttc296 I went for the middle line using a plaid embossing folder, due cut sentiment and matting a border around the design.
Over at Just Us Girls a challenge to pull out an old favourite die - I pulled out the Sunshine Sayings stamp & coordinating die bundle.
Getting inky with old favourites long retired By the Tide stamp set, Sunshine Sayings stamps & coordinating die bundle, Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party and Crumb Cake ink pads with some Antique Pearls coloured with Lost Lagoon.
Fun summer “sending sunshine and hugs” vibes design for someone special - my plaid embossing doesn’t show well on the photo against the collage of stamping but it does add some lovely texture in real life.
Today’s card design was inspired by playing along to several fun challenges.
Double Trouble 3-2-1 #DT219 to use 3 layers, 2 images, and 1 slimline design. Twisted Sister 3 add some glitter and Twisted Sister 2 use the sister site sketch Try a Sketch on Tuesday.
Getting inky with a sneak peek from the July Online Exclusive Festive Cheer bundle, Stitched Designs dies, Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape and Garden Green inks, Peaceful Pine Shimmer Blush, Metallic Gold ink and acrylic pen, Antique Pearls coloured with gold ink.
There is something cooling about creating Christmas cards in July especially when it’s been 40+ here 😜 The Festive Cheer bundle is going to be a fun addition to my Christmas collection. I used the Shimmer Brush to add sparkle to the pine branch and ornaments and added splatters to the white space as well as so gold flecks.
I’m getting inky with Summer Happiness bundle, Words of Beauty bundle, Golden Glow, Crisp Canteloupe, Barely Blush and Lost Lagoon Blends and antique Pearls coloured with Barley Blush.
A quick but fun summer birthday card for a special someone with a July birthday!
