Global Design Project Challenge 164 - CASE the designer

It is time for another Global Design Project Challenge and this week we are CASEing the beautiful card from the talented Louise Sharp. Here is her design:



When you CASE (copy and selectively edit) someone's design you take the elements from their design and use them in own creation. In this challenge I used the layout of this card to create a Christmas card using the Candy Cane Season Bundle. With only 5 weeks to go until Christmas I need to make a start on my Christmas cards and send them off in time. I'm so not prepared!



I created a background image using the holly and berry stamps, stamped in pear pizzazz and cherry cobbler ink, in a random pattern.  I used the stamping off technique to stamp the all the elements on the card so that the images were not too bold.
To add some texture I used the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, this is one of my favourite embossing folders.



Have you started making your Christmas Cards yet? There are so many beautiful Christmas themed products in the holiday and annual catalogues, its hard to choose a favourite. Along with all the stamps, dies, punches, papers and card stock there are some kits available such as the Timeless Tidings Project Kit which co-ordinates with the Timeless Tidings stamp set to make your Christmas Card making quick and easy.

Happy crafting! Suzanne xx

New online classes launched

With the kids off to school this week I am jumping back into blogging and tutorials. I have added online classes to my schedule this year but before I explain all of that, here is my first  tutorial for 2020. I have used the Timeless Tropical bundle and Sailing Home stamp set to create this silhouette card. This reminds me of my first overseas trip to Fiji in 2018 for my brothers wedding. I created the background using the sponge brayer and three inks - grapefruit grove, so saffron and petal pink. The palm trees, birds and sentiment are stamped in memento black ink. I love being able to mix and match different stamp sets and I think the birds look great on this card. To see how I've put this all together, view the time lapse video below. All of the measurements and supplies are listed in the video description. New Online Classes I have been asked by several customers if I could create online classes in 2020, so here they are!
