Andrea's Mystery Challenge Pieces

When I first received my mystery pieces from Andrea, I had no idea what I was going to do with them and set them aside.  Last night for my #sketchintuesday project, I had the most adaptable sketch and when I looked again at Andrea's pieces I knew exactly what I was going to do.  This layout uses small pieces of dsp or you could use plain cardstock and emboss, the possibilities are endless.  I really enjoyed putting this card together, I hope you do too.  I've included the original sketch for your reference. 







Supply List:

Cardstock: Basic White-cut at 5 ½”x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”; scrap for sentiment

Calypso Coral-cut at 4 ¼” x 5 3/8” ; scrap for flowers

Pear Pizzaz-scraps for flowers

You’re a Peach dsp-3 pieces cut at 2” x3”

Ink: Memento, Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzaz

Stamp Sets: Many Messages and dies, Flowers of Friendship bundle

Adhesive, mini dimensionals

Paper Trimmer

Step- By- Step Instructions:

 

Stamping: Using the scrap of basic white, stamp and die cut your sentiment from the Many Messages stamp and die bundle using Memento ink. 

I also like to finish the inside of my cards so I then stamped a verse for the inside also using memento ink.

From the Flowers of Friendship stamp set, I used the smallest flower, stamped on Calypso Coral scraps using Calypso Coral ink three flowers.  Then I stamped three large and three small leaves from the same bundle using Pear Pizzaz ink on Pear Pizzaz cardstock scraps.

Now let’s assemble our card:

Adhere each of the pieces of dsp to the Calypso Coral matte, landscape mode and slightly askew layering slightly.  I left the piece with the least amount of design on it for the top piece and arranged my flowers on that.  Using two of the flowers and four of the leaves, two of each size, I arranged my flowers and adhered them to the top piece of dsp.  Using the mini dimensionals, add the sentiment to the front, then adhere it all to the card base.  To complete the inside, I added the remaining flower pieces using stampin seal.

Stampin' Up! Splendid Autumn Sympathy Card

Image
Today's card was inspired by a sketch seen on facebook from an American Demonstrator.  I was intrigued by the cool way to use some of our beautiful designer series paper and the best part is, you don't need a huge piece! I am attending a Stampin' Up! event this weekend and we were asked to bring a few projects to share and this is one of my projects. Fall isn't officially here yet, but once school starts up and the leaves start to fall off the trees, it's pretty close.  The Splendid Autumn designer series paper is gorgeous, the beautiful rich colours are simply stunning.   The cardbase and matte layer are Wild Wheat and the cardstock that the dsp is mounted on is Crushed Curry.  Simply cut the pieces and adhere together and then adhere to the card front.  I stamped using Memento onto a strip of Basic White cardstock which was then mounted on to another piece of Crushed Curry.  This was then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals after the length of 2023...

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Christmas Card

Image
Good day folks!  I am here with another card created for my recent Stampin' Up! gathering this past weekend.  We had a day long activity where we focused on building up our Stampin' Up! business, watched several Atlantic Demos create some beautiful projects and then participated in a show box swap.  This was my shoe box swap offering. I have used this fancy fold layout several times and thought it was the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the beautiful Nests of Winter dsp in the latest mini catalogue! My cardbase is Grey Granite which was cut and scored, the die cut square behind the image and the strip to hold the card together are all Gray Granite too.  The dsp is from Nests of Winter and they are adhered to the front and the inside of the cardbase.  There is a small piece of Basic White for the insert and fits beside the piece of dsp.  The strip of Gray Granite,  is scored is secured next.  Starting at the far left edge of the card front,...
