Global Design Project Flower Garland using Stampin Up Products

April 18, 2016 By Michelle Last

We are casing the super talented Krista Frattin who is also on the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team.  That means she has been selected to design and create beautiful projects and samples to share and inspire others.  It is quite an accolade and I believe that this is Krista’s 2nd stint as Artisan too!

How she finds the time to also be on the Global Design Project design team astounds me but she does and she manages to WOW me each week!

I love the colour scheme in Krista’s card so found it easy to case and focused on the colour scheme to make this card –

I wanted to incorporate the striped pink/white DSP so extended the length of the card to make it longer and lined it with a tiny strip of silver foil card.

I create a partial embossed background by copying a technique from YouTube (just google partial embossing).  I then make a circle of the silver metallic thread and secured it in place with glue dots and stuck the flowers over the top of the glue dots to cover them up.

I used the bitty flower punch and also the tiny flower is from the tree builder punch.

Here is Krista’s card which we are caseing today (copy and selectively edit).

    That partial embossing is fabulous and I love how you framed it with the silver thread and flowers, as it really draws the eye. The DSP and silver foil strip along the bottom just finishes this card beautifully. I love all the elements you took inspiration from 🙂

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....
