Flurry of Wishes - Neutral Theme

How exciting, "Case the Designer" is the theme for the Global Design Project this week.

If you are not famililar with this type of challenge, you basically get to choose what inspires you on the card provided and go from there, eg Colour, Stamp Set, Layout, Theme etc

 There are so many elements to choose from, I decided on Colour for my inspiration/challenge as Neutral tones - something I haven't done before, but with the familiarity of the Wondrous Wreath stamp set:


Here is the card that Louise Sharp provided for our inspiration this week:


I purchased the Wondrous Wreath Bundle as my first SU Bundle - I love it.  It is so easy to use, and I had never thought of using neutral tones until I saw Louise's card.


I made a card similar to this several weeks ago in frosty Christmas colours; but WOW, I was blown away by how this turned out in Neutrals.

I opted for gold embossing on the berries and  added some gold cording trim to suspend the wreath from the circles cut with thinlets and a little bell for the embellishment.

Thank you Louise, now I have another colour combo for this beautiful Bundle set!

Thanks for visiting to day,

    Firstly...I love the name of your and colour of your blog ;)
    WOW, this is amazing and so clever how you have it hanging, I would never have thought of doing that! That's why I love these challenges, so many ideas and inspiration from just one card. Thank you so much for playing along to our Global Design Project this week. xo

Fancy Folds Stampers Showcase - Hues of Happiness Circle Easel Card

Hello there crafters! You are going to love today's Stamper Showcase Blog Hop - we are all featuring FUN FOLDS, I just love a fun fold, I should really do more of them! I decided to a Circle Easel Card, it's a smaller card, but I think you will agree is just super cute, and with the Hues of Happiness DSP is just Gorgeous! This card is a relatively simple for a fun fold and comes together very quickly - I think I spent more time doing the floral arrangement than the actual fun fold itself. I took advantage of being able to die cut images directly from the Hues of Happiness DSP - I love it when we can do this with DSP, and aren't the flowers just stunning! I took 3 different flowers and some foliage and arranged to fit within the Basic White Circle cut from the largest circle die in Layering Circles Dies set, and the largest scallop die is used for the coloured section of the card. To create the card base you need to fold a piece of card stock and positon the largest die slig...

Welcome to the ESAD Holiday Catalogue Fancy Folds & 3D project Blog Hop. We're so excited to share our creations with you and we're certain that you will find great tips and inspiration from all our creations. The full lineup below will help you move along the hop, so grab a cuppa and enjoy! I've created a project using one of my favourite fun folds - a "z-fold", using the Snowflakes Sentiments Bundle The thinlits give the card lots to detail, and did take a bit of time to put together, but hey if I'm honest I overthink the the placement of the swirls and snowflake sentiments like 3 - 4 times before I stick them down, hahaha!, but I must say every minute was worth it, I am really happy with the finished card. Perfect Plum made the perfect companion for Soft Sky and Marina Mist and I also designed the height of the card so that when it folds flat it will fit in a normal C6 envelope Thanks so much for stopping by. I hop...

I decided to make the card using Pool Party cardstock to complement the blue flowers in a bed of purples, I think it turned out lovely. I added detail to the card front by using the Scalloped edge from the Scalloped Contours Dies , and heat embossed a sentiment in silver from the Color & Contour stamp set .  To finish I added a touch of bling with Rhinestone  Basic Jewels . Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project. Stay tuned for more inspiration and tips this month.
