Snowflake mask from Adorning Designs Decorative Masks

 Where does the time go?  I can’t believe it’s already Sunday, it was just Tuesday.  So #sketchintuesday this week was so much fun.  I veered away from my traditional use of dsp and made a very pretty background piece using one of the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks found in the holiday mini.  Night of Navy matte on a Basic White cardbase helped to make this card bold and full of life.  The snowflake patterned mask was used with the sponge Brayer and White ink.  How simple but what a stunning card.  I finished the card off with the Tailored Tag punch using Night of Navy cardstock and stamped in white again, some Fine Art ribbon and a few gold metallic pearls.  I used sentiments from Holly Jolly Wishes ( on the inside) and Banner Year.  Thanks Barb for yet another fun sketch.  Thanks for stopping by.

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,...
