Stampin’ Up! Black & White Slimline Card

 Good day everyone, 

Todays project is a slimline card using some soon to be retired dsp from the January - June 2022 mini catalogue.  I haven’t made a slimline in quite awhile, so thought it was time.  Let’s take a look at what I made and the materials too. 


Cardbase: Basic Black cardstock cut at 7x8 1/2, strip for center
Basic White cut at 3 3/8 x 8 3/8 (2), scrap for daisies
Abstract Beauty DSP 3 1/4 x 6 cut on diagonal, corner to corner, strip for inside
Daffodil delight and Memento ink pads
Friends are like seashells and Hello ladybug stamp sets
Versamark, white embossing powder and Heat tool
Pearl basic jewels
Blending brush
Dimensionals
Bone folder

I folded the cardbase in half and creased with bone folder.  I adhered the two pieces of dsp to white layer and then added that to the cardbase.  Then I heat embossed the sentiment onto the black strip and added to the center of the card.  For the insert, I stamped my sentiment using Memento, then added a few daisies on one side using the Daffodil delight ink.  On the opposite side, I placed a strip of dsp using tear and tape then added the entire piece to the inside of my card.  Two daisies were stamped using Daffodil delight on to basic white scraps and fussy cut.  I have been told that the daisy punch fits this stamp also.  I didn’t care for the stark white flower centres and none of my embellishments were large enough to cover it so I used a blending brush to colour in the center a bit.  Then I added a Pearl basic jewel to the flower center and a few more to the card front also.  Did you know we sold slimline envelopes?  I have mine all ready so I can pop in the mail when needed. 
 I didn’t give dimensions for the center black strip, I just placed the dsp on the basic white layer and made a template on scrap paper first and then cut out the black card stock.  
This was a fun card to make, can’t wait for my next one. 
If you want to see how I put it all together, here is my link to you tube.

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 2023-2025 In C

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, adhere the strip up to the fir
