Stampin Blends on Vellum

 What a glorious weekend!  It was rainy and cool following a terribly hot week and I loved it all.  Even though I had to work all weekend, I was able to enjoy special visits and hugs from my family.  Our  grandson came for a sleepover on Saturday night with us, he still asks for nanny snuggles when I put him to bed.  We also had supper guests Saturday night, double special.  Our oldest daughter, Emma and her significant other, Cody, joined us from New Brunswick.  The borders opened Wednesday and they came home for a visit to see family and friends.  We haven't seen each other in person since September so it was long overdue.  Needless to say, I didn't get into my craft room much.  

Today's card was made by my good friend and fellow team member, Andrea.  She loves to experiment and get her hands messy.  I love her technique used here for this card.  Once we can get back to in person classes, I plan to do this with my club girls.  I hope you try this out.



Supply List:

Basic Grey cardstock (4 ¼ x 5 ½)
Vellum (4 x 5 ¼)
Stampin’ Blends (Blackberry Bliss dark, Rich Razzleberry dark, and Highland Heather dark used here)

Detailed Trio Punch
Create with Friends stamp set
Stamp block
Silver embossing powder
Versamark ink
Heat tool
Adhesive
Stampin’ Spritzer
Rubbing alcohol (70% used here)

Step by Step Instructions:

Start by colouring the long edge with the Stampin’ Blends in a circular pattern, covering about 1/3 of the vellum in each colour.

 

Spritz with rubbing alcohol, tilting the vellum to let the colour run down the edge.

 

 

Gently dry with the heat tool so the ink is no longer tacky.

 

Stamp the sentiment in Versamark, apply silver embossing powder, and heat to melt.

 

 

Punch the corner of the vellum as desired, and adhere to the cardstock using adhesive of your choice (Stampin’ Seal used here).

 

Add the basic rhinestones as desired, and adhere the card front to a base, 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,...
