#tgifc317 – hello…

05.21.2021…..Happy Friday, everyone! It’s already time for another TGIF Challenge! It’s Inspiration Challenge Week, and what better inspiration than the brand new Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up!

This gorgeous 176 page catalog has HUNDREDS of inspiring projects on the cover and inside. It is full of new colors, new stamps, new Designer Series Papers, new punches and Die sets, Ribbons and so much more. You’ll find color combo ideas, layout ideas…the inspiration is overflowing!

For this card, I started with some Basic White Thick Cardstock, embossed it with the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder, and adhered it to a Basic White Thick Cardstock base. I then used some Pattern Party Designer Series Paper…one of the Stampin’ Rewards that you can earn when you host a party (or place an order) of $150 or more. I layered some Basic Black Cardstock underneath it, and popped up the panel with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also die cut another piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock, using the Stitched Greenery Die.

I added a Basic White Thick Cardstock stem, which was cut out with one of the Meadow Dies. The sentiment (from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set) was heat-embossed with Black Embossing Powder, and cut out with one of the Tailor Made Tags Dies. Layered underneath that tag, is a bit of Hand-Penned DSP, cut out with the same die.

To add some fun texture and extra dimension, I created a bow with Pool Party Sheer Sheer Ribbon (cut in half vertically) and Baker’s Twine (from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack). For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on 2021-2023 In Color Jewels and Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
