Stampin Up Boughs of Holly Christmas Card


Todays project uses a sketch I found from another stampers blog and decided to give it a go!  The large poinsettia image from the Boughs of Holly DSP was the perfect fit for this particular sketch.  It left just enough space on the card front for a sentiment and a bit of colour.  Heat embossing using Black Embossing Powder was a fun choice also.



For this card, I used Versarmark to stamp the sentiment, sprinkled the Black Embossing Powder over the top, tapped off the access.  Then, using my heat tool, I melted the powder.  I love how you can watch the transformation.  Be careful not to keep it in one spot for very long because you can scorch the cardstock.  Pear Pizzazz was used with my Blending Brush to add a bit of colour to the center of the card and also a bit around the edges.  The poinsettia was fussy cut from the Boughs of Holly DSP pack and popped up using Stampin Dimensionals.  A few of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels finished off the front of my card.

 Here are the materials and measurements:

Cardbase Mossy Meadow 5 1/2 x 8 1/2

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,...
