Hello there! Today's card is for the Global Design Project challenge #406.
I played with this sketch so long it started to feel like work. Ugh!! Some days that happens, right? In the end, I'm happy with the result. But, man, it was a hard-fought battle. Here's my final card...
Part of my original struggle was that I wanted to use a specific sheet of DSP from the fabulous Delightfully Eclectic pack. The striped design is very 70's to me and I felt like that would go great with the adorable thermoses in Warmest Heart from the new September-December mini catalog. Well, what I discovered (not for the first time!) was that forcing something never works!! After four other cards, trying to make the DSP work, I tried Night of Navy card stock for the back piece and VOILA! It all came together and I love the end result. I guess that's why they're called challenges, huh?
This photopolymer set is adorable and is also offered as a bundle with dies. They will be available on September 6th. One of the many benefits of being an SU! Demonstrator is that we get to pre-order new products typically a month ahead of customers. This gives us time to make samples and play with the products. Have I mentioned how much I love being an SU! Demonstrator!?!
If you are interested in joining my team, shoot me an email (smostamps@gmail.com). I'd love to help you get started! You can join as a side hustle or just for the discount. We call those hobby demonstrators. That's what I've been for the past 19+ years. Now's a great time to join because you can order from the September-December mini catalog as part of your starter kit!! It's full of fabulous fall and holiday products!!
I'm off to my in-laws to celebrate my sister-in-law's and my youngest son's birthdays. At my son's request, I made a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. YUM! Now I just need to get it to their house in one piece. Haha!
Have a great rest of your weekend! Thanks for popping by!
