Stampin Up Abigail Rose Sweet Songbird Card

Hi fellow paper crafters!   As we move into the fall season, it really doesn't make sense why I created a more springlike project but oh well.  It's cute and why not???

Based on a sketch from my sideline, Andrea, this one was a bit tougher to work through.  I am happy with the end results but see now that I could add another layer of either dsp or cardstock, or even velum, for the open "v" spot on the card.  


First I cut the dsp after measuring the center, from point to center on top and bottom.  This creates the V effect.  I placed it on my cardbase just so I knew where to stamp my branch and music notes.  Sentiment was stamped on Crumb Cake using Early Espresson and punched using Double Oval Punch.  This is popped up using dimensionals....on to the cute bird-stamped using Daffodil Delight onto Basic White cardstock and fussy cut.  Don't forget his little eyes!  This too is popped up using dimensionals.  I randomnly chose leaves to colour using Old Olive Stampin Blends and then adhered to the cardbase using Stampin Seal. A little sprinkle of Rhinestone Basic Jewels finished off the front.

Cardbase: Crumb Cake 5 1/2 x 8 1/2; scrap for sentiment

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,...
