BE INSPIRED | RED AND GREEN

The Be Inspired Design Team are hopping today and our theme this month is "Red and Green", a very Christmassy theme! As always, I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has created! P lease be sure to hop all the way around for lots of inspirational projects created by the design team.  How cute is the Santa Express Designer Series Paper? Sometimes you need to make cards super quick and easy, and this card is one of those! A couple of pieces of co-ordinating Designer Series Paper, cardstock, the perfect sentiment, a die or punch, ribbon and, of course, a little bling! I love Stampin' Up!

Next up in today's hop is my lovely and inspirational friend Brenda Nelson in Canada , I'm looking forward to seeing what gorgeous creation Brenda has to share with us.

GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT #371 | THEME CHALLENGE

The Global Design Project have a theme challenge this week with Winter! It's summer in the South Pacific so it's a little hard to be thinking of cooler months at the moment but the Chic Dies with the gorgeous snowflakes were the perfect go to.   I love creating white cards, they always look so fresh and clean! And as Pool Party is my favourite colour I just had to add a bow created using the Pool Party Sheer Ribbon. How cute are these tiny faceted gems from the For Everything Fancy Sequins? There are so many pretty little gems in this range. For a step by step tutorial on how I created my card please click on the Tutorial button. All products are listed in the tutorial and below. I've also created a video tutorial, click on the link below to watch! Please remember to head on over to the  Global Design Project blog  and check out all the fabulous creations made by my fellow team members and we would love to see your creations using this week's sketch. See you next week! ...

GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT #370 | SKETCH CHALLENGE

Hello and welcome to my blog! This week's Global Design Project challenge is a sketch challenge and below is the sketch we are using. Do you like a good sketch? I think they make a great starting point especially if you are creatively stuck! I love this sketch, so many possibilities. I also used one of Martin Stone's gorgeous cards for inspiration. I loved his colour combination of Petal Pink, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and Cajun Craze. How cute are the little poinsettia dies? I love adding little elements they these to a card and especially using the same colour as I think it adds an elegant touch.
