Stampin Up Peaceful Deer Step Card

Christmas in July, which ended up being in August, a stamp camp enjoyed by some of my local ladies recently, creating this cute fun fold card.

I don't normally like to use retired products when I am doing classes but it happened with this card for the dsp.  But....I am totally certain that each of my participants have a bit of this in their stash so it's a great way to show them how to use it up.

I stamped the deer using Early Espresso onto a scrap of Basic White and punched using the Reindeer Punch.  Then I tied a small bow from Linen Thread for his neck and attached using a Glue Dot. He is popped up using Stampin Dimensionals, don't forget to add a couple of embellishments to the front.

Then we stamped the trees from the Peaceful Deer stamp set onto Basic White using Garden Green, stamping off each time for the smaller trees and added the sentiment in Early Espresso.   Like the forest look!  This is then adhered to the panel of dsp(2 3/4 x 5 1/4) for the front and then adhered to the card base (3 x 8 1/2).  The last bit of stamping is on the "insert" which is Basic White, where I stamped another group of trees and the sentiment. This is adhered to the inside of the remaining cardbase, in first score line.   The rest of the card is layering and then you glue the two large pieces together.  To do this, you fold the long piece of cardstock along the score lines (side view is a letter M).  While having it folded, add the first piece (8 1/2) to the front of the M (it will be the in the scored 1 1/4).  Then, with adhesive on the inside, and keeping it folded, adhere to the large part of the M.  This will allow it to stand freehand.

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,...
