International Project Highlights Visual Blog Hop and sketch challenge entry into #GDP058
Wednesday, October 19, 2016
My name is Kim and I live in Somerset in the UK and I have made this birthday card using a sketch by Teneale Williams.
I've used the Blooms and Bliss designer series paper and the lillies from the Remarkable You stamp set.
I have stamped Happy Birthday in Sweet Sugarplum ink using the Stylized Birthday stamp for the inside of the card and also added an edge of torn designer series paper to the top and bottom of the Whisper White layer.
For the front of the card I have added a layer of designer series paper to fit the entire front of the card. I usually leave a border but I really like how this has come out. I then added a small layer of Sweet Sugarplum cardstock before overlapping a layer of Vellum cardstock.
Next I stamped the lillies image onto Whisper White cardstock twice. I used Stampin' Write markers to colour in the stamp - Sweet Sugarplum for the outline of the flower and Old Olive for the stem.
I cut out the flowers using my Paper Snips (I am really not a fan of fussy cutting but let me tell you, these were a dream to cut out!) I adhered one set of flowers straight onto the vellum and then popped up the second set directly over the top using Stampin' Dimensionals. This really has added some fabulous dimension to the flowers and I am really pleased with this effect.
To finish the card I stamped the sentiment Happy Birthday in Basic Gray using a stamp from the Sunshine Sayings stamp set. I cut around the sentiment and used glue dots to adhere it over the top of the stems.

You can order everything I've used to make my card from my online shop today. Until the end of the month you can order 3 packs of selected DSP and get one pack 3!
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.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
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!

Oh happy days! Sneek peek and my watercolour sketch challenge entry for the Global Design Project #GDP034
Monday, May 2, 2016
I've entered this weeks Global Design Project #GDP034 sketch challenge and have used one of the new stamp sets called Scenic Sayings and the new Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder from the upcoming 2016-17 Annual Catalogue . I promised myself I wasn't going to touch any of my new products until 1st June but when I saw this sketch I knew I just had to.
I'm not the best at water colouring, this is definitely one skill I really need to work on! So with this in mind I kept it simple and stuck to one colour and I think Pool Party looks fab with the copper embossing. I hope you like it!
I'm playing along with the Global Design Project again this week with this brilliant sketch challenge designed by Teneale Williams.
Make sure you check out all of the designers amazing cards that are based on this sketch for challenge #GDP026. Keep checking back all week to see all of the amazing entries! Just click here to have a look!
I haven't had a chance to use the gold Wink of Stella glitter pen yet but I am so glad I picked it up today as I got this amazing effect on the butterfly die cut from Basic Black cardstock.
I also used my clear Wink of Stella Pen on some Vellum cardstock on the butterfly punched out with the Elegant Butterfly punch.
If you have been following my blog, you probably know that I love anything that sparkles. It just makes me happy, I can't explain why!
I hope you've enjoyed looking at my project today, please leave a comment to let me know you stopped by!
This week I decided to join in on the fun and design something for the Global Design Project. This weeks sketch #GDP018 is designed by Teneale Williams, I love her work, make sure you check out her website!
Here is a copy of the sketch in this weeks challenge that I have based my design on.
I've used the new Going Places DSP from the Spring Summer Catalogue. I love this designer series paper, the colours and style reflect my personal taste and style.
There was lots of die cutting and no stamping with this project. I used the star from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits die to die cut into the circle. I then place a piece of silver foil card behind the star. I also added some of the Pool Party Glitter Ribbon behind it for a little bit of sparkle.
I've really enjoyed making this card using this sketch and I think I will be joining in on this challenge more often! Why don't you join in too? All you have to do is create a card based on this sketch, publish a blog post and link it back to the Global Design Project by 3pm on Monday 18th January. Don't forget to add a link on the Global Design Project website to make sure you have entered the competition!
