Stampin Up Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper

 Oh, this felt so good to be back in my craft room.  This is the first card I have made since Hurricane Fiona came for a visit this past weekend.  Not that we had a lot of damage, thankfully, but we lost power for about 8 hours.  I work retail, so it's been fun with restocking shelves after some panic buying, storm prep and of course lack of trucks due to closed roads.

This card is from a sketch from Andrea, my sideline.  To say that I am so happy to see this is an understatement.  I can see so many different embellishments or dsp for recreating this card, possibilities are endless.  Here is my original card, plus I made a couple of others using various current and retired supplies. 








For this card, I cut 2 pieces of coordinating dsp and 1 piece of Basic White, all at 2 x 3 1/2".  I stamped on the Basic White using leaves and flowers from the Lovely You stamp set, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Calypso Coral inks. These are then arranged at different angles on to the Soft Succulent cardbase.  Next a thin strip of Soft Succulent cardstock is used for the sentiment which is stamped in Evening Evergreen.  The Lovely You Pick a Punch creates a cool end for the strip, which is then popped up on the front using dimensionals.  I added a few stamped images, a small strip of dsp and a sentiment for the inside as well.

Here are the materials and dimensions:

Cardbase: Soft Succulent 5 1/2 x 8 1/2; strip for sentiment

Basic White 4 x 5 1/4; 2 x 3 1/2

Pretty Prints dsp: 2 coordinating pieces 2 x 3 1/2; strip for insert

Stamp Sets: Lovely You, Peaceful Moments (insert)

Inks: Calypso Coral, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen

Lovely You Pick a Punch

Open Leaf Trinkets

Festive Pearls

Stampin Seal, Stampin Dimensionals


Lots of fun and so many ways to alter for any occasion.  I will certainly be reproducing this soon!

Thanks for dropping 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,...
