Best Route for GDP142

My first Stampin’ Up! order from the 2018 Annual Catalog arrived this past week. There were so many great products to play with – I was really excited to play with the papers, stamps and embellishments in the Best Route Suite – a colorful, happy, travel-themed suite. This week’s Global Design Project sketch gave me a fun layout for a fun card. Here’s my project for this week’s GDP challenge:

And here’s the banner for this week’s GDP sketch that inspired my card:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Best Route Suite. My card uses three products from the Best Route Suite found on pages 52 and 53 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Annual Catalog. If you want to see all of the fun products in this suite, click on the picture below: I used three products from this suite on my card today. Can you name all three? If you studied the items above, then you are prepared. 🙂 Here are the tree items I showcased on today’s card (links to all of these products are shown below):
  • Best Route Designer Series Paper
  • En Route stamp set
  • Best Route Enamel Shapes
• It’s a Sign! I love the travel-themed images in the En Route stamp set. I rebuilt the sign that’s featured in this stamp set using a die from the Bottles & Bubbles and Framelits Dies to create the sign post – the straw is a perfect shape for this thin post. I topped the post with a Gray Granite circle from the Best Route Enamel Shapes.  
• A Gorgeous Color Combo. I pulled the colors for this card straight from the Best Route Designer Series Paper – a gorgeous mix of blue, orange, yellow and gray. I love it! Here’s a look at the patterns and colors in the Best Route Designer Series Paper: I shared all of the colors and images for the current Designer Series Papers this past weekend – you can see them all here.
