Brand new challenge, and I love the flexibility of a tic-tac-toe board! My choice was circle, free, and white. I knew I wanted Lemon Lime Twist and Basic Black because I am in love with that color combo, and remembered I already had this background paper stamped, and the rest fell into place. Love the Eastern Palace stamp set and the Label Me Pretty bundle! #tttc001
Here’s the sketch for the challenge:

Today’s Global Design Project challenge card is a fun one. My upline, Brian King, also has a challenge for our SU group to use brand new products from the 2017-2018 catalog. This card uses the new Daisy DSP, the daisy punch, and stamp set. Fun!
Here’s my card:
And here’s the GDP090 sketch:
As you can see, I had my own spin on this sketch, but that just means that I get to do another card using the same inspiration!
Enjoy!

GDP 069/Colour Challenge GDP (Global Design Project) is a weekly challenge starting each Monday. My upline, Brian King, is one of the designers for this challenge, so it’s always fun to play along. This week’s challenge was to use Basic Black, Old Olive, and Calypso Coral. At first I thought it would be a bit difficult to work these colors in, but when I started playing around, it all fell into place, with inspiration from Mary Fish‘s checkerboard card.
I used Calypso Coral cardstock and some retired DSP for the squares and cut them out using the smallest square on the Simply Stitched framelits. The punch on the front is new (!!) and coordinates with the Label Me Pretty stamp set. I simply layered 3 of the punches by cutting the Old Olive and Calypso Coral in half to form the outlines. I’m pretty pleased, but wish I could have had the patience to do a full checkerboard design instead of the open one.
Here’s my card:

My Blue Room, aka my room of random stuff, is where all my Stampin Up is stored and happily used. I spent time CASE’ing (Copy and Share Everything) and creating for card challenges. I even got one card created to meet two card challenges ~ always a bonus!
Cards with comments and basic supplies used are below. I want to spend more time in there, but ….. I must grade papers; I must grade papers; I must grade papers…… if I say it enough, maybe I will get it done tonight.
Still loving Botanical Gardens DSP, stamp and dies

I wanted to give my DH a little surprise while he is gone, so I made this card (following this week’s challenge) and packed it in his carry-on suitcase. Hopefully he will find it, see his name on the front of the envelope, and open the card.
Loving the hexagon embossing folder, the Urban Underground DSP and cardstock. Very thankful I also got the Urban Underground embellishments!

My step-daughter is getting married this weekend, so I made Sarah and Andy this wedding card. My DH and DD said it didn’t look like a wedding card, so I added the Mr. & Mrs. and popped it up with dimensionals. I rather liked the way the (retired Well Scripted) Congratulations kind of encircled the beautiful floral die cut, but neither one was too impressed. I do like the way the card came out, but am kicking myself for not ordering any more thick Whisper White cardstock. MUST get some!
I know Sarah will have thank you cards coordinating with her wedding invitations, but since you can never have too many thank you cards, I made her a set of 8 coordinating cards and envelopes.
Enjoy!
