Stampin' Up! Sympathy with Rose Wonder and Love Blossoms DSP

Hey there, welcome to East Coast Stamping with Mary Louise's blog!  I am an independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator from Aylesford, Nova Scotia.  I have been stamping for close to ten years and going on eight years as a demo.  I like to craft with paper, yarn, thread, cloth, etc.

 Today's post will be focusing on a card using materials from the retired vault, someplace I like to visit often.  I participate in a mystery challenge in a group with other crafters, this month I actually provided the pieces to create with to everyone.  All participants were given a die cut rose and label for a sentiment.  

I used Rose Red (remember that colour?) cardstock for the die cuts from Rose Wonder bundle, added a piece of Love Blossoms dsp (yup, another oldie!) to the rose die cut piece as well as a piece for the insert.  The front layer is Basic White embossed with Old World Paper embossing folder (not that old but not current) where I added some Blushing Bride ink using a blender brush.  Love how it gave some added texture to the card. The leaves are die cut using the Rose Wonder bundle in Garden Green, then added another layer of Heart & Home DSP for the background.  Sentiment is again from Rose Wonder, and the embellishments are the Gilded Gems.





Just because many of these items are retired, doesn't mean we can't still enjoy them.  So if you have these or similar products in your stash, I hope this card has given you some new inspiration.  It was fun to bring new life to some older goodies.

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,...
