Bella & Friends from Stampin’ Up! for Global Design Project

July 18, 2016 By Michelle Last

This weeks challenge over at the Global Design Project is a colour challenge.  I loved the colours of this weeks challenge and reached for the new stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Bella & Friends.  Be warned its a really cute set and you are going to want it….

Bella & Friends #GDP045 Card & Glassine Bag

Look at that adorable little face!  The card was so simple I could not stop there, I had to create 3 more and put them in a Glassine Bag to give as a gift!

Bella & Friends Tag #GDP045

I die cut around his cute little face and stamped the sentiment to create the tag.  I only had a stock of the Sketched Dots Glassine Bags which are now retired but we do sell them without dots which may work better. I then stamped the other three dogs and kept the colouring pretty simple to keep the style of all the cards clean and simple.
Bella & Friends Card Gift Bag #GDP045

I embossed a border using the scoreboard on the whisper white cardstock and used a blender pen to smudge the black memento stamped image to create shading.

This is this weeks challenge and it gets even better, you can enter the colour challenge this week and if you are chosen as the winner you will be a guest designer on the next Global Design Project Colour Challenge.

Interactive Mini Album I've been busy behind the Interactive Mini Album

I've been busy behind the scenes creating a special mini album for my team retreat this weekend. I can't wait to spend time with my wonderful team—being creative together, sharing lots of laughs and making this beautiful keepsake. If you've followed me for a while, you'll know I have a real love for mini albums. They're one of my favourite ways to preserve memories because they tell a story that's far bigger than a single scrapbook page....
