Sending Thoughts for Global Design Project 067!

Today I played along with the Global Design Project #GDP067.  The challenge them this week is Trees!!!  I used one of my favorite go to stamp sets, "Lovely As A Tree" for this project. Plan to play along and head over to the Global Design Project Challenge and see all of the fun projects.  
http://www.global-design-project.com/2016/12/global-design-project-067-theme.html
 
For the sentiment on this card I used one of the new stamp sets from the upcoming Occasions catalog called Sending Thoughts.  Want an Occasions Catalog, click HERE and I will gladly send you one.
 
Project Details: 
  • I  stamped the trees from the Lovely As A Tree stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the background design series paper.  Then I stamped the trees again on Old Olive Card Stock, cut it out and layered it over the background design series paper.
  • I used the Sending Thoughts stamp set and stamped the sentiment in Versamark Ink and embossed it with Copper Embossing Powder. 
  • I cut out the sentiment using the Layering Circles Framelits Dies and used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up over the Stitched Framelits circle in Dapper Denim.
  • Then I embossed the piece of copper foil using a leaf embossing folder. 
  • The sprinkled background comes from the Pop of Pink Specialty Design Series Paper and is layered over Old Olive Card Stock.
  • I finished the card with some Dapper Denim 3/8 inch Ruched Ribbon with a knot.
 Thanks for stopping by!  See all the fun Stampin' Up! products I used for this project below.

Pals Blog Hop "All That Sparkle & Shine"

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for December 2016. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month our projects showcase products that can add sparkle and/or shine for a finishing touch. We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below. The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.


For this sparkle and shine project, I used the colors of Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry and Copper Foil.  I love the Night of Navy & Copper Foil Design Series Paper sheet from the Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper. 

I also used the Rich Razzleberry 3/8 Inch Ribbon from the Ribbon Trio Pack in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  The Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies were the perfect layering background for the sentiment. 

The flower and the sentiment were stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in Copper from the Reason For The Season Photopolymer Stamp Set.  I added a few extra copper foil leaves using the Festive Flower Builder  Punch.  I fussy cut the flower out and used some stampin' dimensionals for added texture.

Let me tell you this card really sparkles, it was hard to capture it in the picture, but hopefully it will make the special recipient's day shine!
Thanks for visiting. To continue with the hop, please refer to the Blog Hop Line-up below. We hope to see you on next month’s Pals Blog Hop!
