Stampin Up In The Moment Get Well Soon card

 Hey everyone, 

Mary Louise here, on yet another warm day.  I am sure you are tired of hearing me complain about the heat, lol,  wait till fall and I will be so happy to describe the lovely temperatures and colours all around me.  So in the meantime, it’s another hot, muggy day.  I am off from my other job today and I am moving from room to room under the fans to do what needs to be done in those rooms.  

Todays post screams warmth but not necessarily in an outside hot kind of way.  So many of my friends have been unwell lately.  Between Covid, colds and surgeries, I just needed to create something that I could send them to help cheer them up.  

I love to read, that paired with puppy love and a cozy blanket-all the right ingredients for an afternoon of self healing.  While it is a colourful card, it’s not bright and an in your face kind of colourful.  I hope it can make someone smile when they receive it.  





I used a Gorgeous Grape cardbase, and topped it with a layer of Tea Boutique DSP.  Next, I cut a coordinating sheet of the same dsp into three pieces and adhered to the rest of the card layers.  On a piece of Basic White I stamped the image from In the Moment in Momento and coloured with Stampin Blends.  The radio announcer said it was National Colouring Book day so I thought I had best do some colouring.  Since this is intended as a cheer you up kind of card, I went with the Let’s Cheer You Up sentiment from Lovely you.  This piece was popped up with dimensionals and I added a few of the Pastel Pearls also.  Finished insides make my day so I added a piece of Basic White for an insert and placed a small strip of the coordinating dsp along the edge of the insert.  

This layout was a sketch I found online, I really like the simplicity of the design but love the beautiful results.  

Cardbase- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2

Tea Boutique dsp- 4 x 5 1/4

Coordinating dsp- 1 1/4 x 5 1/4 (3)

Basic White- 3 x 3 3/4 (2)

Stamp sets- in the moment, Lovely You

Memento ink

Stampin Blends- Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Blackberry Bliss, Crumc Cake, So Saffron, Ivory, Bronze

Pastel Pearls

Stampin Seal, Dimensionals


Simple but effective layout, don’t you agree? 

As always, 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,...
