Simple Stamping With Shel- Global Design Project Challenge #488

 


Today a new challenge has been posted by the Global Design Project team.  Our challenge this week is to case the Designer...the fabulous Jay Soriano and this card: 


Well, I got my creative juices flowing and changed a few things up...and this is what I came up with: 

I used Wild Wheat, Basic White, and Basic Black for my color combo. 

I chose two patterns of the In Color DSP and I chose to mat my square piece and to make my DSP strip wider than Jay's.  

I used the Spotlight on Nature dies to create two circles for my focal image so the coffee cups did not get lost in the busy DSP. 

The coffee cups are from the Something For Everything Ephemera Pack, and the friend greeting is from the Say Something Ephemera pack and was colored with a black Stampin' Blend.

Scrap and Stamp With Shel Video Tutorial: a scrapbook layout and a card...


 Hey Hey scrappers and stampers!  

I am trying something different today!  

We will be making an 8 1/2 x 11 scrapbook layout and a card....a two fer!   

I wanted to teach ways to scrapbook using products we already own as cardmakers.  

In the first sample below I used the free FRUIT SALAD 6x6 DSP paired with a retired stamp called Little Monkey:


And in my second sample below I used the BOTANICAL TEXTURE 6X6 DSP  from the Online Exclusivs paired with the FLOWERS OF BEAUTY BUNDLE




The circles were all cut from the Spotlight On Nature Dies and the letters are the Mini Alphabet Dies.  

Here is the link to the video tutorial:
