Stampin! with Jaydee

Happy Wednesday As I was playing in my craft area yesterday, I went looking for a little inspiration from design challenges. I happened upon the CASE the designer challenge across at Global Design Project. As soon as I saw the challenge I knew I wanted to ink up the panda stamp from Wild and Sweet. This is a set I got in a recent order from Stampin' Up! Here's a sneak peek: Oh... and here's the inspiration design from Global Design Project that we have to CASE. I loved all that white space and the circular element. I stamped and... Read more →

Here's a sneak peek: I really loved the moodboard and it reminded me of a pair of trousers I made back in the day. Promise you won't laugh!!! On one leg the back of the... Read more →

Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's sketch week. I actually made two different cards with this sketch but decided to go with the Cozy Cup version for our challenge. Cozy Cup was the first set that I ever saw from The Greetery and I absolutely fell in love with it. Couple of years later aand I still love it! For this challenge I paired it with a background stamp from My Favorite Things. Here's a sneak peek: And here is LeAnne's sketch: I went with neutrals for my colors... Read more →
