Bloomin’ Love for GDP114

Today is a BIG DAY! At the same time that Stampin’ Up! kicks off an incredible Online Extravaganza, the Global Design Project shares a new sketch challenge that’s super-fun. Let’s start with the sketch – this week’s layout showcases six squares in two columns and three rows (can you tell I’m an accountant who works in spreadsheets a lot?). Here’s my card:

And here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my card:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Lots of Love for Bloomin’ Love. The Bloomin’ Love stamp set and coordinating Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits Die were first introduced in Stampin’ Up!’s 2016 Occasions Catalog. I showcased the stamp set in my card today.  Even with all the beautiful florals in the set, I showcased the “I” from “friend” and the “love” and “you” from “love you” on my card. Here’s a look at this stamp set:

  And here’s a look at at the gorgeous dies that coordinate with the stamp set:

• Trim Your Stocking Thinlits Dies. You already know how much I love, love, love the sentiments in the Tags & Trimmings stamp set, right? This bold, graphic stamp set makes me very happy. The three stitched hearts on today’s card come from the coordinating Trim Your Stocking Thinlits Dies, proving that these dies can be used all year long. There’s even a stitched star that’s cute as a button. Oh! There are also buttons in the stamp set – does that ring a bell? Oh! There’s a bell…I’ll stop there. Here’s a look at this super-fun bundle:

• Valentine’s Day Colors.  There are no two colors that are more perfect for Valentine’s Day – Real Red and Melon Mambo. I might not always put the two colors together, but I went there today. Oh, I went there – and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. If you like this combination of Real Red, Melon Mambo and Whisper White, please save this combination:

Placing an Order Today?  I’m so glad you are placing an order with me today. While I’d love for you to place an order more than $150 so you can earn Host Rewards (including the price-reduced Hostess Stamp Sets), that amount might not be in the cards for you. If your order is less than $150, I would love for you to add a Host Code – G44EWPPZ.  Just enter the code when the system asks if you have a Hostess Code. The Host Code is always available in the right column of my blog (just under my super-handsome picture). <3 Thanks for stopping by today!

I hope you’ll pop over to the Global Design Project site to see the cards by the design team members and to play along with this week’s challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today!
