#sketchintuesday 07/21/21 Penguin Place

 Good afternoon, today we are having a very overcast day.  Rain and possible thunderstorms are forecasted and I really hope we get both!  It has been so very hot and humid lately, it's been very difficult to stay cool and craft.

Today I am featuring a card I made last night during a facebook live.  Each Tuesday I go live and create a card using a sketch that a fellow Stampin Up demonstrator (Barb Stortz) finds online and sends to me.  

This week, I featured the Penguin Place bundle and free SAB dsp Penguin Playmates. Isn't he just the cutest???   If you want to see the live, pop over to East Coast Stampin with Mary Louise and take a look.  https://www.facebook.com/eastcoaststampingwithMaryLouise  




Supply List:

Cardstock: Basic Black-cut at 5 ½”x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”; scrap for banner and penguin body

Basic White-cut at 4 x 5 1/4”; scrap for penguin belly

Penguin Playmates dsp-3” x 4 ½”; 2”x3 ½”; 2 trees to fussy cut

Ink: Memento, Calypso Coral

Stamp Sets: Penguin Place Bundle

Embellishments: Matte Black Dots

Adhesive, mini dimensionals

Paper Trimmer


Step- By- Step Instructions:

                                                           Punch & Cut:

Using the scrap of basic white cardstock, punch the belly image using the Penguin Builder Punch, then punch the body from the Basic Black cardstock.  Fussy cut your two images, I used a couple of trees from the dsp.  To flag the end of my dsp, I used my scissors and snipped-gauge the center and cut in and far as you want the flagged end to be.  Then I cut diagonally from either side to that center point to create the “triangle” look.

 Stamping:

Using Memento ink, stamp your sentiment in the top, right hand corner of the dsp.  While you have the Memento out, you can also stamp the “eyes” for the penguins face.  I chose Calypso Coral for the nose which you can stamp now.  I like to finish the inside of my cards, so this is when you could put a sentiment on the Basic White piece.  I also inked up the penguin body stamp and stamped the image in the bottom, left hand corner on the insert.

                                               Now let’s assemble our card:

We are down to simply layering now, adhere the dsp matte to the front of your Basic Black cardbase slightly offset, using stamping seal.  Then add the banner piece about ¾ of the way down, again using stamping seal. Now you can add the small strip of Basic Black on top of the banner strip, I matched it up with the banner piece on the left side.  Glue your penguin pieces together and add to the banner piece of dsp using dimensionals and now add your fussy cut images to the left of the penguin.  I finished the card off using three of the matte black dots in the upper lefthand corner.

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,...
