Mystery Challenge pieces from Teammate Marnie

 Hi folks,

Seems like I haven't been here for a couple of days, sorry for that.  We have started staining our deck and that's been a bit time consuming.  I was ever so excited when we decided to enlarge our deck a few years back from just a door step and a veranda to now a deck that wraps around 3/4 of our entire house.  What was I thinking???  The temperature hasn't been ideal for it either, heat warnings all week with high humidity. Then, of course we had our little grandson here for the night so focused on him too.

Today's post will be using the pieces from my downline Marnie that were part of our Christmas in July (yup, I'm still playing catch up) swap.  She provided beautiful die cut snowflakes from the Silver Foil and Balmy Blue cardstock.  Here's what I did with them: 



Supply List:

Cardstock: Basic Black-cut at 4 q/4”x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Balmy Blue- scrap for snowflakes

Basic White-4”x5 ¼”

Silver Foil-scraps for snowflakes

Peaceful Place dsp-cut at 4”x5 ¼”

 Ink: Memento

Stamp Sets: Holly Jolly Wishes; Peaceful Deer

Dies-Stitched Snowflakes

Paper Trimmer

Cut & Emboss Machine

Step- By- Step Instructions:

 

Stamping: Stamp your sentiment on the piece of dsp in the bottom, right corner 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.

After cutting out your snowflakes, use liquid glue to adhere and layer the die cuts.

Now let’s assemble our card:

Arrange and adhere the snowflakes to the front of your dsp, around your stamped greeting and then glue to cardbase.

Adhere the basic white piece to the inside of your cardbase. 


I found by using this particular selection from the Peaceful Place dsp, it really didn't need anything extra.  There are already silver snowflakes embossed in the paper which complimented the die cut snowflakes perfectly.

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,...
