Baby Card using Places in the Heart from Stampin' Up!

 New life, new stamp set and new dsp.  Hey everyone, I hope everyone is having a great day.  As I write this blog, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and it’s still coolish for first of June.  

The sketch I used recently had me intrigued to try another project using totally different products.  This one is showcasing stamp and dsp in the new Annual catalogue 2022-2023.  With all this new, I chose to create a new baby card.  For 2 years we haven’t had baby showers to attend, totally miss that.  

I was trying to find as many gender neutral colours as possible but still looking fresh so it could be used no matter the gender.  Think I nailed it. 

I stamped the mom/baby image from Places in the Heart stamp set on Basic White cardstock using Memento and coloured using So Saffron, Ivory, Bronze, Old Olive.  The sentiment was added next, also using Memento and then some speckles created a border using Soft Succulent.  Then the Open Weave Pale Papaya ribbon was wrapped to the back of that piece and adhered to the Lovely in Linen dsp layer.  All of this was adhered to the Soft Succulent card base.  I stamped a sentiment on the inside and added a strip of the dsp and added some more speckles just to add some texture.  The front is finished with a few of the Brushed Brass Butterflies.  Isn’t it cute?  Such a touching image with mom and baby bonding.  I just can’t wait to give this away to someone.  




As always, I appreciate you popping by.  Feel free to leave a comment, or better yet, create your own card using this sketch and share the photo.
Thanks again,

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,...
