Stampin' Up! Santa's Delivery Sketch Challenge Christmas Card

 Oh what fun it is to craft with a friend and some great products!  Yes, that's just what I did.  Teaming up with my sideline, Andrea and using her most recent sketch, we created and had lots of laughs.






Here is what Andrea created:




It isn't very often that I actually follow a sketch almost to a tee, but this one is pretty close.  Poppy Parade is the cardbase, some coordinating dsp from Santa Express paper pack and some Mint Macaron for an added layer. Sentiments from the Santa's Delivery stamp set using Memento ink were used directly onto the cardbase as well as the top layer.  The images on the dsp are great for fussy cutting, so I used the train for the top layer and added some of the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint to the top of the smoke stack for added interest. All of the layering was adhered with Stampin Seal with the exception of the Mint Macaron layer which is using the Stampin Dimensionals.   I love simple layering cards that turn out extra special.  A few of the Adhesive backed stars completes the project.  

Here are the materials used and measurements. 

Cardbase: Poppy Parade 4 1/4 x 11

Mint Macaron 2 1/2 x 3 1/2

Santa Express DSP 2 x 5 1/4, 2 x 4

Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 (insert)

Stamp: Santa's Delivery

Memento ink

Snowfall Accents Puff Paint

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,...
