How Sweet It Is Jar Card for #GDP178

Since I missed the last Global Design Challenge by just a few hours, I thought I'd jump on the next one early. This weeks' challenge is a sketch challenge. I love a good card layout and already had some pieces cut from my crafting session with my son this weekend. (See pics of Thomas' creations on my Facebook page!)

I love that the Jar of Sweets Framelits cut out the images from the designer paper! It's so easy to create a stack of cards with this designer paper! Check back tomorrow for more Sweetest Thing cards!

Here's the sketch for #GDP178. Play along with me this week and make a card using this sketch as inspiration and then post and share it on the challenge blog!

Springtime Stroll Thank You Card

I have been wanting to do a Global Design Project Challenge for awhile and finally carved out some time to do their latest challenge this weekend. #GDP177 was a color challenge using these colors: Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green, and Coastal Cabana. These colors are so bright and happy!  They reminded me of the Springtime Stroll stamp set. The images in this host-exclusive stamp set are whimsy and cute. I couldn't resist coloring this little bird blue!

Here's a close-up so you can see the Wink of Stella on the bird. I love how the extra sparkle ties in with the Glitter Enamel Dots.

Turns out I was 7 hours late posting my card and missed the cut-off for this challenge! But be sure to check out what everyone else created with this fun color combination. See More Cards

Needle & Thread Get Well Soon Card

I sent out all the invoices for Stamp of the Month Club yesterday, but it's not too late to get this month's card kit!

VIDEO: Golden Afternoon Sympathy Card

The Golden Afternoon stamp set caught my eye the first time I saw it in the Occasions Catalog.  I finally got it out to use yesterday to make a sympathy card. (I love that this stamp set includes so many sentiments besides sympathy though!)

My originaly intent was to just stamp the trees in one color and make a very simple card, but after I stamped it in Mossy Meadow, I decided it needed to be colored. I used a blender pen to color the leaves and blend the Mossy Meadow color that the image was stamped in. This technique is so easy! Be sure to watch my video below to see how it works!

 

I added Wink of Stella to the leaves after I colored them.

 

 Don't forget to stamp the inside of your card! I used the same technique to color the tree here too.

Watch the replay of my Facebook Live Demonstration to see me make this card!

Sale-a-Bration Inventory Update

Painted Seasons Sweet Cup + Free Template Download

I designed this Sweet Cup project for our team meeting earlier this month using the new Painted Seasons bundle that you can get as a free level 2 gift during Sale-a-Bration. 

Tip: To get the ribbon to stay put and not slide off, use a small piece of tape across the ribbon to secure it to the bottom of the cup.

Download Sweet Cups Sleeve Template (.pdf)

I cut apart a sweet cup in order to make the designer paper template for the meeting, but since then, Stampin' Up! has shared a template file that you can print and trace! 

• Start with a piece of designer paper that is 3" x 12". Trace the template on the back of the designer paper and cut out.
• Put Tear & Tape Adhesive on both ends of the designer paper sleeve on the back side of the paper. Do NOT put adhesive across the entire sleeve. This will be more difficult to control. 
• Adhere one end to the cut and wrap the paper around the cup, tucking the top edge under the cup lip, and adhere the other end to the paper.

You can find the Sweet Cups in the Occasions Catalog in the How Sweet It Is Suite Collection on pages 14 and 15. You can customize these cups for any occasion by changing out the designer paper and handmade tag!
