Stampin Up Flowers of Friendship Thank You card.

 I recently hosted a craft and chat where we cased a card from the annual catty.  A few friends dropped in virtually and a great time was had.  Using the sketch and the measurements provided in our Canadian Stampin Up newsletter, we each set out to create our interpretation of the sketch.  

For my project, I chose the now retired New Horizons designer series paper layered onto a cardbase of Garden Green.  Flowers from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set were stamped using Versamark and embossed with White embossing powder onto Blackberry Bliss and Blushing Bride cardstock.  Leaves were stamped using Garden Green onto Basic White and then all were punched using the Flowers and Leaves punch. These were all added to the dsp using Stampin Seal and Mini Glue Dots.  The sentiment was stamped using Blackberry Bliss onto Basic White and punched using the Cloud punch and edged with Blackberry Bliss ink and popped up onto the second piece of dsp using dimensionals.  A few of the adhesive backed hexagons for the the finish!  Since I like a finished insert, I stamped a few of the flowers using Blackberry Bliss and Blushing Bride onto Basic White and adhered to the inside of the cardbase.  



Here is the project from one of the other participants.  Same sketch, totally different look.  Love it! 


This was so much fun, can’t wait to do it again!  If you want to play along, drop a photo in the comments with your creation.  

Thanks for stopping by,

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,...
