Blackberry Bliss, New Horizons and Pansy Petals

 Another #sketchintuesday project using a sketch from my stamping pal Barb!  This one was perfect for me as it allowed me to use more of my dsp including scraps!  I am one of those people who refuses to throw out even the smallest piece of paper just in case I can use it somewhere.  You never know right? 

My favourite Stampin Up colour is Blackberry Bliss and I certainly showed it a lot of ❤️ in this card.  Using the Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the cardbase, I added a piece of dsp from the New Horizons paper pack that had mostly Polished Pink on it.  Then I used some scraps from the Pansy Petals dsp pack and then fussy cut a few Pansies for the main focal point.  I rarely use flowers in my projects, so this was a pleasant surprise for a change.  The circle die in the centre is from the Painted Labels die set and it’s cut from, of course, Blackberry Bliss.  The die cut plus the top Pansy are both popped up using dimensionals, otherwise Stampin Seal was used to put this card together.  Special Moments stamp set had the perfect sentiment for this beautiful card and it was stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink (eek!). Yes, there’s more! Three Pearl Basic Jewels are placed in the top, right hand corner plus each of the flowers have been touched with some Wink of Stella.  It’s amazing what a few pieces of paper and pretty ink mixed together can make.  Okay, here it is: 



 

Now I did change the orientation but otherwise followed the sketch.  
Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed the card as much as I do.

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,...
