Wow! It's been so long since I played along in a challenge. It's just what I needed to get my creativity flowing tonight. I'm super excited with the card I made, and I hope it makes you "think spring"!
This week is a color challenge with the Global Design Project. I love the soft color palette the designers chose. We're getting a bit of snow and some super cold weather right now, so these soft springy colors were just what I needed on this blustery night!
You can click the color above to go right to the GDP blog and play along if you like! I actually love the color palette so much that I was inspired to make a 2nd card focusing on these colors. I'll be featuring it in my Facebook Live on Wednesday evening (7:30pm CST), so you'll just have to wait to see it! Make sure you like my Facebook page so that you don't miss any of my free LIVE stamping events!
I used Petal Pink for my card base and the card front layer. I'm really liking the look of color on color for my card layers lately. The Whisper White, Soft Sea Foam, and So Saffron really pop against that Petal Pink, don't you think? I just love when a color combination is so pleasing to the eye.
Those sequins add the perfect pop of blink and sparkle, too! Gor-jee-ous!

Did you catch my LIVE online stamping class last night? I had a BLAST showcasing some super cute cards using #simplestamping.
I used the Hey Love stamp set to make those adorable valentine's. Aren't they just stinkin' cute? For each of these cards, I used the Notecards and Envelopes which makes crafting super easy. These are a great investment as a beginner because all the work of prepping your card base is done for you!f
All of the cards in this assortment have a Whisper White card front layer that is 4 3/4" x 3 1/4"
I coordinated each of these cards with the Organdy Ribbon Combo pack which is FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.
This cute bird and hamster card uses the Daffodil Delight ribbon from the combo pack. It also comes in Balmy Blue, Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather, and Lemon Lime Twist.
Isn't that 'gator cute! I used my Stampin' Blends to color in all these cute little creatures. For the 'gator gal, I used dark and light Granny Apple Green blends.
This otter card is my favorite - I just LOVE that little saying! How clever!
Here's another otter card using the Grapefruit Grove ribbon. I think it really makes that heart pop, don't you? I used dark Flirty Flamingo for the heart.
I also made a Valentine using the Foxy Friends stamp set and punch. Just using the punch on the raccoon's face adds some simple dimension to this card.
Dimensions for this card:
Smoky Slate Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", fold at 4 1/4"
Real Red - 5" x 3 3/4"
Whisper White - 4 7/8" x 3 5/8"
The different tones of grey for this raccoon were created just by using the stamping off technique.
Finally, I made this super cute and rustic card featuring the FREE Home to Roost stamp set.
I copied the card in the Sale-A-Bration flyer for this card and used it to get my creative juices flowing. I changed up the embossed layer a bit with the Wood Planks Dynamic Textures Embossing Folder in my video, but I forgot to snap a photo! Oops!
Dimensions for this card:
Tranquil Tide Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", fold at 4 1/4"
Tranquil Tide - 5 1/4" x 4"
DSP - 4" x 2 3/4"
Soft Seude - 2 1/4" x 3/4"
