Stampin Up Storybook Gnomes Window Christmas Card



Todays' post is so cute!  Aren't these forest critters so adorable?  So I was given a sketch and it's actually from the Holiday mini catalogue so I had to give it a try.  True to my sketchabilities, I did deviate just a bit but the idea is still there.
I used a piece of Real Red that had already been cut using the Picture This dies and a Pool Party cardbase.  The dsp used is Storybook Gnomes, I fussy cut the gnome and the cute bluebirds.  The other two pieces were cut to fit the windows with just enough overlapping to be able to adhere to the back of the Real Red.  I popped up the gnome and the single bluebird using Stampin dimensionals and Stampin Seal for the rest of the card.  Once the dsp was placed, adhere it to the cardbase.  Using Memento ink, I then stamped sentiments from Framed & Festive stamp set onto Pool Party and hand trimmed and popped up with Stampin Dimensionals.  Embellishments included some Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems and a Flat Jingle Bell Trinket on the Gnome Hat.  




 

Measurements and Materials Used:
Cardbase: Pool Party 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scrap for sentiment
Real Red 4 x 5 1/4
Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 (insert)
DSP Storybook Gnomes 2 pieces with images for windows, plus some for fussy cutting
Stamp Set Framed & Festive
Memento ink
Picture This Dies
Flat Jingle Bell Trinkets
Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems
Stampin Dimensionals, Stampin Seal

I had so much fun with this card, I love the little animals.  
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,...
