Seaside Seashells #sketchintuesday

 Another week, I know.  Old story. 

But todays story is from under the sea…that’s right! I used Seaside Seashells bundle…say that 5 times fast.  I haven’t used this bundle in forever, felt it was time for it to re surface.  So very thankful that all components used to make this card are carrying over with the new catalogue.  Yay!  Another year to enjoy all of its beauty and versatility. 

Thanks to Barb from Making Cards @1ink Hill for providing me with a random internet search for a sketch for me.  She takes great pleasure in selecting images that have multiple components.  That’s okay, we got this! 

I look forward to each Tuesday evening so I can craft with you, love all of the interaction from each of you as well. 

Okay, enough babbling, here is the sketch and the finished product: 




I used a sponge dauber with Coastal Cabana ink and added some light colour to the raised images on the embossed piece of Basic White.  This is the layer added to the front of the Bermuda Bay cardbase.  Then I cut out some pieces for the centre focal point using the coordinating dies, plus a few I fussy cut.  Pear Pizzazz for the grasses, Daffodil Delight for the starfish, Calypso Coral for the clam and Crumb Cake for the seashell.  The Sand dollar is Crumb Cake once stamped off for a lighter image, then added sentiment using Memento ink.  The sand dollar has dimensionals and one of the starfish is raised a bit using a glue dot. I “washed” the front with Wink of Stella by lightly running the brush over all of the raised parts and die cut elements.   Since I like a finished inside, I also stamped some of the same seashells on the insert in the bottom, right hand 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,...
