Today is my husband’s birthday!  He means the world today and what better stamp set to use for his birthday card than Going Global.  It is part of a Suite of Products which includes the World Traveler Embossing Folder and the Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack (not used in this project). Going Global Dave's Birthday

Stamp Set – Going Global, Endless Birthday Wishes. Timeless Textures
Cardstock – Marina Mist, Night of Navy, Whisper White, Typeset Specialty DSP
Ink – Night of Navy, Marina Mist
Accessories – World Traveler Embossing Folder, Big Shot, 2″ and 2-1/2″ Circle Punches, Stampin’ Sponge, Snail Adhesive

Stamping Tips:

  • edges of the DSP were torn to give it a well worn look
  • a sponge was used to apply Night of Navy ink to the edges and center of the DSP
  • Marina Mist ink was used to stamp the waterspots using an image from the Timeless Textures stamp set

Pals Paper Arts PPA295

To get started participating in the color challenge, I laid out pieces of the 3 colors which were to be featured.

PPA 295 Color Combo

That brought inspiration to me quickly; that and the Playful Pals stamp set which was sitting on my stamping table! HA!  As you can see in the photo  below, the stamp set has a set of coordinating framelits.  IF you use the Playful Pals Bundle item #141069  when you order, the savings is 15%!

On the inside of the card, I added a strip from the Cherry On Top Washi Tape Collection and left room to write a note.

Chance to Win a Prize!

Scrap CardI put this card together using odds and ends of scraps that were in my stamping area.  The only thing that wasn’t something left over from a prior project was the “thank you” sentiment and the 2 Melon Mambo Candy Dots.

You may already have seen this in my April Newsletter:

“Do you Love Scraps?  If you’re a serious crafter, chances are you love your scraps. It takes a major act of willpower for you to toss out old, inch-length pieces of ribbon, bits of Designer Series Paper, or tiny cardstock embellishments—even if they’re five years old!

Prize Opportunity:  Post a photo on my Facebook page, Deb’s Stampin’ Grounds of something you have made with “newly found” things in your stamping area.  I’d love to see them and there will be a prize involved. ”
