Love Sunshine Wishes ~ Male Card Inspiration #stampinup

Hi Everyone

Thanks for stopping by today. I just wanted to share this card I made which I also entered to the Colour Inkspiration #CI10 challenge. I used the colour board below for inspiration which I thought would be a good colour combination for a male card. For me, adding texture and introducing touches of colours are a great way to create something a bit different than the male cards you see in the shops.

This card is pretty similar to my entry for the Global Design Project CASE the Designer ~ HERE which I would have entered for this challenge too but I did not use Delightful Dijon for that card. I also used the embossing paste I mixed myself for this project but can't wait to try out the one by Stampin' Up!

Delightful Dijon A5 folded in half

Island Indigo card 9.5cm x 13.8cm

Products Used:

Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies
Fine Tip Glue
Copper Metallic Thread
White Perfect Accents
Embossing Paste

Delightful Dijon has retired now along with Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush and Tip Top Taupe. Which one are you missing already? Use them for your card bases if you still have them and make space for the 5 AMAZING new In Colours!

Click on the image above to see more products in Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink and Tranquil Tide in our Online Shop.

Would you give this to a guy? I did, for Barry's birthday :)

Thanks again for stopping by today. Until next time, BYEEEEE!

Textured Card using Sunshine Wishes #stampinup

Hi Everyone

Thanks for stopping by. Today I am playing along the Global Design Project #GDP088  and we are CASING Shawn De Oliveira

   

Shawn does CAS designs so well, which I really admire as I find it a challenge, I just want to use everything! I guess its balancing the different elements and knowing when to stop. I added the 2nd image from Shawn as the embossing paste really inspired me for my challenge entry below:

Card base 10.5cm x 14.8cm

Island Indigo Layer 9.5cm x 13.8cm

I used Versamark on the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Press down with my hands only and embossed using Gold  Stampin' Emboss Powder

Applied the embossing paste, let dry before sponging Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry with Sponge Daubers

Stacked 'congrats' die cut from Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies and apply Fine Tip Glue to get the smooth & shiny texture

Use Tear & Tape to help shape and hold the Linen Thread

Die cut the butterfly doodle in white and smokey slate, stacked to create a flower

Add a tiny Gold Glimmer Paper dot in the centre, I used the 1/8" Circle Punch

This card is overloaded with different textures and techniques but I'm really pleased with the end result. An embossing paste will be available from Stampin' Up! from June 1st but for this card I made my own and what a mess it was. I did too much, I was unsure of the consistency and couldn't really save for future use so I will be buying the Stampin' Up! embossing paste on our next order.

Check out the Design Teams projects back at Global Design Project ~ HERE
