Stampin Up kindest gnome good luck card.

 Are you ready for a cutie from the new Holiday Mini?  Tonight I crafted using the Kindest Gnomes bundle and some of the Design a Daydream dsp from the annual catalogue.  What?  You didn’t see that either?  It is a hostess perk and I have flipped by it several times.  And starting today, you can order the Kindest Gnomes bundle from the Holiday Mini.  

So todays card is another sketch challenge from my fellow stamper, Barb.  I found this one easier to do which was great because I had little company for the afternoon and was getting short on prep time. 

Pre stamping and cutting can be so beneficial as I just pulled both my image and sentiment from my stash and added to my card.  I coloured the gnome using my Stampin’ Blends-light and dark Old Olive for the hat and clothes, Basic Black for his boots and mouth, Ivory for nose and hands and Bronze for beard highlights. These are both popped up on dimensionals on the dsp layers.  As you can see, the two smaller strips of dsp are adhered to the larger dsp piece and all were adhered to the cardbase using Stampin Seal.  I added a small strip of dsp to the inside and finished the card off with a few Adhesive backed Hexagons.  


Materials used: 
Basic White cardstock- 5 1/2x 8 1/2, scraps for gnome and sentiment
Design a daydream dsp-3 3/4 x 3 1/2;  3 1/2 x 3/4 (2); strip for insert
Charming Sentiments bundle, kindest gnomes bundle
Memento ink pad
Stampin Blends-old Olive light and dark, basic black, ivory and bronze
Adhesive backed hexagons
Stampin seal and dimensionals

Isn’t he just the cutest?  I can’t wait to give him away.  
Thanks for dropping 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,...
