Stampin Up Boughs of Holly Christmas Card

Here is another project that we made during our Christmas in July (August) card class last month. It's all about the fussy cutting and showing off the pretty vellum.  Here is how we put it together, hope you enjoy it! 



First, I fussy cut the Poinsettia for my main focal image from the Boughs of Holly DSP.  Then I stamped the greeting using Memento on a scrap of Basic White from the Brightest Glow stamp set.  Next I used the curvy die from the Basic Border Dies to cut a curved edge to the card base.  Then I did the same with the piece of vellum.  If the vellum needs to be trimmed down a bit, now is the time to do it using your paper trimmer.   Now add the sentiment using stampin seal, Poinsettia using dimensionals and your embellishments to the card front.  Now add stampin seal to the back of the vellum where it will be covered by the items added to the front and adhere to card front.  Vellum is beautiful to use for projects but the adhesive shows through so you want to place yours strategically.


 List of products and measurements:

Cardbase:  Cherry Cobbler, cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2

Vellum layering designs, cut at 4 x 5 1/4

Basic White Cardstock, 4 x 5 1/4, strip for sentiment

Boughs of Holly DSP, fussy cut Poinsettias

Basic Border Dies

Brightest Glow Stamp Set

Classic Matte Dots

Memento Ink Pad

Stampin Dimensionals, Stampin Seal


This is such a simple, yet pretty card that makes a statement.

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,...
