Stampin UP Biggest Wish Masculine Birthday Card

 Hello my friends, and welcome to another card sketch post.  Today's card features a sketch from my side line, Andrea from Prairie Sky Paper Crafts by Andrea.  And the fun part of it was, we did a facebook live together to create using the sketch.  How cool!

So my take on the sketch was pretty close to the actual for a change, where I used the Biggest Wish stamp set as my main focal image.  I stamped several times using Birthday and Old Olive using my stamparatus then added the birthday in Memento.  Of course this was stamped on a piece of Basic White then popped up using dimensionals.  The card base is Basic Black with a layer of Old Olive and then a layer of the Design a Daydream dsp.  I stamped the little plus signs or whatever you want to call them using Old Olive onto the dsp in the top right and lower left, just enough to be seen from under the birthday image.  I wrapped a piece of black bakers twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack around the popped up image a couple of times and ended off with a small bow.  I am quite happy with how it turned out, even asked hubby if it would pass for a masculine card and he approved!  Let’s take a look and see…..



I quite like this sketch and just may use it again in the near future.



Here's what I used:

Basic Black: 4 1/4 x 11

Old Olive: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8

Design a Daydream dsp: 4 x 5 1/4

Basic White: 2 3/4 x 3 1/4 (2)

Stamp Set: Biggest Wish

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,...
