Welcome Friend for GDP193

This week’s Global Design Project challenge gives us three colors to play with – Pineapple Punch, Granny Apple Green and Night of Navy. With a brilliant combination like that, how could I NOT feature the adorable pineapple from the Time for Tags Host set in Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Catalog?! Here’s the simple card I made:

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

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Time for Tags Host Set. With purchases greater than $150, customers earn Stampin’ Rewards that can be used to purchase ANY current items in the current catalogs (you don’t have to host a party to earn the rewards). One of the perks of earning Stampin’ Rewards is that you can use them to purchase specially-priced Host Sets. The stamp set I used on today’s card is one of the new Host Sets from Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Catalog – here’s a look at Time for Tags:If you haven’t checked out these sets, please do – they are pretty spectacular!  To see all of these Host Sets, CLICK HERE. The set coordinates with a new punch, too – how fun! Here’s a look at the Timeless Label Punch:
• Blending. Sometimes I can make sense of the darkest mysteries in life. It just made sense to me that I would color my pineapple with Pineapple Punch ink – I don’t know why I thought of that color for my pineapple, but I just knew it would work. I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it with Pineapple Punch and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. How easy was that?!  I added texture to the 1-1/4″ band of Granny Apple Green cardstock with my Subtle 3D embossing folder.
• Measurements. I played around with the layers on this card over-and-over until I found the balance that worked for me. Here are the measurements of the layers on this card, starting with the notecard-sized base and working my way up:
  • Night of Navy – 3-1/5″ x 10″ (scored at 5″)
  • Thick Whisper White – 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″
  • Night of Navy – 2-1/2″ x 4″
  • Pineapple Punch – 2-3/8″ x 3-7/8″
  • Granny Apple Green – 2-3/8″ x 1-1/4″
  • Thick Whisper White – Timeless Label Punch
