Welcome to Workshop Wednesday!!

Thank you for joining me on Wednesday evening for my Weekly Live.  If you would like to receive my gift with purchase, (make & takes), place an online order using host code NXDMWJTP by Saturday, March 18, 2023.  

If you missed the live presentation, you can watch the replay below.

 

 

Marigold Moments is a two-step stamp set.  I stamped the first image off, (solid stamp), before stamping on my project.  Next, I stamped the detailed image directly over the first image.  This time I didn’t stamp off to show the beautiful detail.

I repeated the two-step process on the inside of the card.

The second card has the same images, however I die cut them and added Dimensionals to elevate them over an embossed background.

Welcome to Makeover Monday!!

 

 

Today’s project is a stepped up card using the Easter Bunny Bundle.  I added a few die cuts and layers to yesterday’s Simple Sunday card.

Just like yesterday’s card, I water colored the bunny on Shimmery White cardstock.  I used the Easter Bunny Punch to crop him out, and adhered him to a stitched square.

Simple Sunday Easter Bunny

Easter card created with Stampin' Up's Easter Bunny stamp set for Simple Sunday.  #Julie Gilson, #Stampin' Gala, #Water Color, #Stampin' Blends Markers, #Simple Cards

 

Welcome to Simple Sunday!!

 

 

Today I have a simple Easter Card that you can create in just a short amount of time.  

I stamped the Easter Bunny with Gray Granite onto Shimmery White cardstock.  Water coloring the bunny is a snap with our Water Painters.  I punched him out with our Easter Bunny Punch.  If you don’t have the punch it is very easy to fussy cut.

The flowers are stamped on a piece of Basic White scrap and colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I fussy cut them and adhered them to the bunny with Mini Dimensionals.

Dimensions:

  • Melon Mambo, 11 X 4-1/4, score at 5-1/2
  • Basic White, 4-3/4 X 3-1/2
  • Basic White, 4-5/8 X 3-3/8
  • Shimmery White scrap, stamp bunny
  • Basic White scrap, stamp flowers
  • Basic White, 4-3/4 X 5/8, stamp sentiment
  • Basic White, 5-1/8 X 3-7/8

Welcome to Makeover Monday!!

 

Greeting card created with Stampin' Up's! Cottage Rose stamp set for Makeover Monday. #Julie Gilson, #Stampin' Gala, #Wedding, #Abigail Rose Suite, #Crafts

 

I am thrilled to share with you my Makeover Monday project.  I used the Cottage Rose stamp set and stepped up yesterday’s, Simple Sunday’s card.

To appeal to the avid stamper, I made several changes to my Simple Sunday card.  First, I colored the Designer Series Paper with Pool Party and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. 

Next, I changed the color of the tag to Pear Pizzazz, wrapped the ribbon around the entire panel and added some embellishments.  

The inside is stepped up as well.
