Stampin' Up! By The Bay Sympathy Card

Good day, welcome to East Coast Stamping with Mary Louise's Blog!
Today I am using products from the new January to April 2023 Mini Catalogue.  I love the simplicity of this dsp but also how calming it is.  I thought it was perfect for a sympathy card.  Doesn't the design of the first layer of dsp remind you of the old "Hardwood" background stamp from a few years back?
Most of this card is just layering, a few die cuts and sentiment stamping.  Let's take a look:




 Using a Sahara Sand cardbase, I layered a piece of By the Bay dsp on using Stampin' Seal.  Then another layer of dsp and cardstock, again adhered using Stampin' Seal.  Using Early Espresso and the Stylish Shapes dies, I cut out a circle which I adhered the sentiment die cut to.  It is on Basic White cardstock, stamped and die cut from the Something Fancy Bundle using Early Espresso ink.  This was popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals, then I added a bow with a mini glue dot using Bakers Twine Essentials Pack and added a few Classic Matte Dots.  Simple but makes a statement.

Materials and measurements:
Sahara Sand cardbase 5 1/2 x 8 1/2; 3 x 4 1/4
By The Bay dsp 4 x 5 1/4; 2 3/4 x 4; strip for insert
Basic White 4 x 5 1/4; scrap for die cut
Early Espresso cardstock scrap for die cut
Early Espresso Ink
Something fancy bundle
Stylish Shapes Dies
Bakers Twine Essentials Pack
Classic Matte Dots
Stampin' Seal; Mini Glue Dots; Stampin' Dimensionals

Another great layout that could be used for any occasion by swapping out the colours and dsp or mass produced.
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,...
