Slimline Sunday

Welcome to another edition of Slimline Sunday - using the extra design space to show off pretty DSP today! 

My design was inspired by playing along to a few challenges: The Card Concept  #tcc229 mood board & colour palette of yellow, green, black and white. 

Sweet Stampin’ has an Autumn prompt and nothing says autumn like a field of sunflowers! 

TGIF challenge Hello Fall Mood board #TGIF596

Getting inky with Sunflower Fields DSP with sticker sheet, Christmas Mice bundle, Soiree Salutations stamp set, Glimmer pen in Golden Rod, Moody Palette gems and blends to colour my mouse. 

Perfect Grateful for You card for a sunflower lover - 🌻 Have I mentioned how much I love the little mice - they can hold so many different things which makes them so much more than Christmas Mice 🐭 

Happy Stampin’

Fun Fold Friday

Welcome to another edition of Fun Fold Friday -for today’s Happy Birthday design I am playing with a double front flap fold. 

My colour palette and floral design is inspired from playing along at the Card Concept #224 - love the spring vibe with this mood board!

Playing some more Tic Tac Toe challenge #tttc286 with the middle row for the win with  my florals, ink blending and sentiment strip. 

I’m getting inky with Fragrant Layers bundle, Natures Walk DSP, Stone & Vines embossing folder, shades of Garden Green and Soft Sea foam inks & blends, Greetings for All ephemera pack, Wink Of Stella and unbranded gold twine. 

Measurements for the various layers.

Quick Process video of the card fold coming together 

Final design is so pretty! The camera never picks it up but the floral images have Wink of Stella for a delicate shimmer. You could add a white mat to the second layer if you needed a design that allowed for more signatures. 

Happy Stampin’

Masculine Monday Vibes

Welcome to another edition of masculine Monday vibes. Today’s All Geared Up to Celebrate card design was inspired by playing along with a couple challenges.

The Global Design Project #GDP534 is a fun sketch just calling out to use the Everyday Arch dies. 

The Card Concept Inspiration board & colour palette #224 I am playing with Garden Green, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Very Vanilla. 

I’m getting inky with the Natures Walk 12x12 DSP, Everyday Arches dies, Triple Banner punch, retired Geared Up Garage stamp set and dies, Holographic gems, Garden Green and gold metallic ink.

Love the Natures Walk DSP it’s a gorgeous palette for masculine vibe cards! Colours in the paper designs are shades of: Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel, Cloud Cover, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Pretty Peacock, Secret Sea

Love how the final design came together. I had an extra fun fold card base to use up from last week’s Fun Fold Friday. I have cut the gears in gold foil as well as Garden Green and then used the direct to paper ink in the gold metallic ink to give it a patina vibe. I created a custom DSP to mount the gears by using the oil spill stamp in repeated stamping off in green garden to give various shades. I then added in some gold splotches as well. I stamped the sentiment in metallic Gold ink and used the banner punch. 

 

The fun fold is a unique one and love that it still stands for displaying on the mantle, desk or shelf. 

Happy Stampin’
