Memories & More Come Sail Away Masculine Birthday Cards

 Good day all;

Todays post features a long time favourite suite that has now retired but I am still enjoying the products.  I am involved in a monthly swap and the theme this month was to use three in a row from a tic tac toe so I chose Masculine, Birthday and Punch/Die Cuts.  These products were perfect for this challenge.  Let's take a look.

I needed to make 5 cards but I only had  enough cards large enough from the Memories & More card pack for 4 so I improvised and created my own dsp for the last one.  These card packs come with so many elements, cards of different sizes, die cut pieces and even laser cut pieces which I didn't use on these cards...but I will soon!




Cardstock used:

Cardbase: Night of Navy/Soft Suede-4 1/4 x 8 1/2

Layer: pieces from card pack/Crumb Cake 4 x 5 1/4

Insert: Basic White 4 x 5 1/4

Stamp sets: Sailing Home, Penguin Place

Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack

Inks: Night of Navy, Soft Suede

Linen Thread

Matte Black Dots

Dimensionals

Blending Brushes

The Night of Navy cardbases were paired up with what pieces from the card pack I had left that were the size I needed.  The rest of the pieces were also cards from the pack and then the sentiment was stamped using Night of Navy.  Dimensionals were used to pop up the sentiment and some linen thread was added for interest.  Some Matte Black Dots topped off the card.  The Soft Suede card base added the Crumb Cake layer which had been stamped using the rope image from the stamp set over and over in Soft Suede.  Then I used pieces from the same card pack to create my project, similar to the Night of Navy options.   I did do some blending on the cardstock too, just to soften the colours.  Which one is your favourite?  I am from the East Coast so my heart leans towards the lighthouse project.  I do have a video on you tube that I will share here.





Thanks for dropping by, 

Mary Louise

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,...
