Stampin’ Up! Cute Fruit- #GDP253

14 August 2020
Leave a Comment

14 Aug
Hello Friends,

Welcome to my blog. My Today’s card is for the Global Design Project Challenge #GDP253. I am very excited to take part in this Challenge. In Global Design Project every week there will be new and different Challenges and always fun. This week it’s a Colour Challenge.
Here is my today’s card using the below Sketch. Check out the challenge and
click here to take part in it. 

These are the colours I used.

I used Stampin’ Up! Cute Fruit Stamp set, from the New Beginner Brochures 2020. All the products which I used here are available at my online store.  You can click the pictures at at the end of the blog post to take you to my online shop.

I used Calypso Coral as my base card. Next layer I stamped the Granny Apple Ink on the Granny Apple green Cardstock to give tone on tone effect, then I Crushed the Cardstock then Sponged the edges using Granny Apple Green ink to give dark shade. I die cut layers from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and again sponged the edges with Calypso Coral and Bumblebee inks.

I stamped the cute banana image using Bumblebee and added some spots using Bumblebee Stampin’ write marker. For sentiment I Stamped in Basic Black Cardstock in Versamark pad and emboss it using white emboss powder. Use the Heat Tool to melt the powder and add Granny Apple Green Cardstock underneath and adhere to the centre.
As a final touch I added some Linen thread and with few Rhinestone.

I decorated the inside with the layers Granny Apple Green and Whisper White and Bumblebee banana.

Today is post for the Hop Abroad InstaHop! Each mo Today is post for the Hop Abroad InstaHop! Each month we hop along with a different theme, and this month’s theme is all about… FUN WITH SHAPES! 

I had so much fun playing with a mix of squares, rectangles, circles, and more — layering them together to create a clean but playful design. I also added a simple straight-line detail in the background to keep everything looking modern and balanced.

For my base card, I used Secret Sea — such a bold, rich colour that instantly makes the whole card feel so elegant and intense. It’s seriously the perfect base for making the shapes pop!

For today’s project ,its for the Hop Abroad InstaH For today’s project ,its for the Hop Abroad InstaHop,  I created an elegant yet heartfelt card using a combination of dry embossing and heat embossing to add depth and texture. I started with a Secret Sea base card, which instantly gave the design a rich and sophisticated look.
The main focus is the embossed layer made with the Love 3D Embossing Folder, adding beautiful dimension and softness to the background. To enhance this, I layered heart die-cut pieces from the Made with Love bundle-such a versatile set and perfect with Valentine’s Day just around the corner.

Today’s Hop was with the 2024 Artisan Design Team Today’s Hop was with the  2024 Artisan Design Team members, coming together as The Piccadilli Players. This time, we’re playing along with a Sketch Challenge, and I have to say… it was so much fun to create with this one!

For my card, I reached for the Brushed with Petals Suite. I love how versatile this suite is - it makes mixing and matching effortless. I used one of the stamp sets along with the die-cut pieces to build the main focal elements, adding lovely layers and texture. For the finishing touch, I chose a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set, which tied everything together beautifully.
