Just a quick card from me today which I've made for my neighbours who've recently had a baby.
Its loosely based on this sketch from this weeks Global Design Project #GDP046. I've used So Saffron instead of the traditional pink or blue and I think it's a lovely colour choice for this time of year.
There's lots of die cutting on this card too with the baby's jump suit die cut using Baby's First Framelit Dies, the circles die cut using the new Layering Circle Framelit Dies and the sentiment die cut from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlit Dies.

Totally in love with timeless grunge using Strawberry Sketches #SS02 & Global Design Project #GDP045
Sunday, July 24, 2016 Somerset, UK
I really enjoyed making today's card! So much that I am entering it into two challenges!
First up we have the Global Design Project #GDP045. This weeks challenge is a colour challenge. I have to use the colours Basic Black, Smoky Slate & Melon Mambo in my project to be able to enter.
As soon as I saw this colour combination I knew I just had to enter. I love how Melon Mambo just pops when used with Basic Black.
The second challenge I am entering is Sarah Berry's Strawberry Sketches #SS02. This is a new sketch challenge in its second week and I plan to play along with this each week.
I love sketches, have I told you that? They really help kick start my creativity. Sketches are a guide, you don't have to copy them, all you have to do is loosely base your design on the layout suggested.
This really is a lovely sketch, I hope you can see how I've designed my card using this sketch.
To make this card I've used the Botanical Builders Framelit Diet for the flowers and the new Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies for the sentiment.
Can you see I've die cut the sentiment in both Basic Black and Melon Mambo. There's just a peep of Melon Mambo showing through underneath the Basic Black.
I've also used some Silver Metallic Thread underneath the flowers to add some further interest.
The spotty background is stamped in Smoky Slate and the stamp is from the Timeless Textures stamp set. The ink splodges are stamped in Melon Mambo and are from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.
I hope you've enjoyed today's project! I certainly enjoyed making it and I can't wait to play along again.

Welcome to the Hello! Annual Catalogue 2016-2017 Blog Hop!
You’ll be hopping around some amazing Stampin’ Up!® Independent Demonstrators blogs, each with an inspirational project, featuring new catalogue products.
Currently you’re visiting Kim Price from Somerset, UK. Hello there!
You can continue hopping by using the previous and next buttons at the end of this post. Now, let’s scroll down to see what I’ve been making.
My project today are two cards that are really quick and easy to make, I've simply added a few layers, a sentiment and a die cut butterfly to a Whisper White card base. I am really pleased with the how these have turned out and I hope you like them too.
I've used the gorgeous Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper and sentiments from the Blooms & Wishes stamp set. I love this suite, the flowers, the colours and the fonts are really lovely.
I like both DSP patterns but I felt they were too much to use in one block, so I made my borders on my layers wider than I would usually make so the DSP could been shown in a subtle way. I love how this has come out, my favourite is the card in Sweet Sugarplum. Which one is your favourite?
If you want to make these cards, you will need to cut the DSP to 9cm x 13.4cm and the top layer of Whisper White to 8cm x 12.4cm.
The sentiments are stamped in Sweet Sugarplum and Island Indigo and the butterflies are cut from the same DSP as the layer using the Butterflies Thinlit Dies.

I've been lacking in inspiration recently and as soon as I saw this sketch that my friend Sarah Berry created, loads of ideas started coming into my mind. In fact, I'll probably make another card using this sketch.
This is the first sketch that Sarah has published so head on over to Sarah's blog and checkout what you need to do to join in!
I love this butterfly from the Grateful Bunch photopolymer stamp and I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity for it to be the main feature in one of my projects.
I've simply cut four squares of Shimmery White cardstock and used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to position the butterfly perfectly in the centre. I stamped two butterflies in Elegant Eggplant and two butterflies in Perfect Plum and coordinated the layer to match the colour of the ink.
I used a two-part sentiment from the Floral Phrases Clear Mount Stamp Set for the front and inside of the card. I love the words and the fonts in this sentiment, they suit this card perfectly.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my project today and thanks for stopping by!

Two weeks ago I spent a lovely three days in Birmingham with my fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator friends. We spent the first day in the Bullring shopping centre and the next 2 days at a venue just across the road from Selfridges. My upline Michelle Last organised 2 days of crafty fun for us all which included a lovely project, 6 make and takes and a range of classes. It was such a good weekend and I can't wait to go again next year
There were 43 of us and as always, we all made swaps. I decided to make notebooks again and I was very happy with these. I felt this was a big improvement from the notebooks I made the previous year, take a look here to see them.
I made 9 of each colour way, which left me a few spare. Keep on reading to find out how to get how to get your hands on one of these.
These are my favourite and they were made using Blushing Bride cardstock, Blushing Bride ink and Sweet Sugarplum ink.
I used Mint Macaron cardstock and also Mint Macaron ink and Island Indigo ink for these.
Whilst these flowers are a shade of Rich Razzleberry, I chose to use Perfect Plum cardstock, Perfect Plum ink and Blushing Bride ink.
My second favourite - these were made using Island Indigo cardstock, Island Indigo ink and Crumb Cake ink
And finally, for these I used the new Sweet Sugarplum cardstock, Sweet Sugarplum ink and Perfect Plum ink.
I will be giving away one of these notebooks in a week's time. All you need to do is leave a comment and subscribe to receive my blog notifications. I will then pick a winner at random and will post the notebook to you, anywhere in the world. Good luck x
