Stampin UP Twinkle, Twinkle Baby Card

I participate in a monthy group swap and this months theme had me using Dsp, Emboss and Purple/Pink so I dug deep into my stash and found some great retired DSP and an appropriate retired stamp set too!  

Using a fun layout that I found recently, I was able to use some bits and pieces of the paper I found.  I'm sure we all have that never ending stash of scraps that never seem to get cleaned up.  



So I found some cute coordinating patterns focusing mostly on the Petal Pink designs and adhered them to the Soft Sea Foam square.  I stamped the Basic White using a sentiment from the Baby Pull Toys stamp set using Soft Sea Foam then ran it through my embossing machine using the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder.  I believe this was one of the first folders I purchased when I started stamping a few years back.  This embossed piece was adhered to the card base with Stampin Seal, then the Soft Sea Foam layer was addded.  The Cloud punch was used to punch out cute little clouds from Soft Sea Foam, followed by a small strip of coordinating DSP using the Word Window Punch (miss this guy too!).  I had stamped the elephant image onto a scrap of Basic White using Memento ink and coloured using Gray Granite stampin blends and then fussy cut to eliminate the wagon that is the original image.  These three things were layered up using Stampin Seal then popped up with Dimensionals in the center of the DSP squares.  Final touch was some of the Adhesive Backed Hexagons.  A love a little blast from the past!

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,...
