Stampin' Up! Desert Details #CasetheCatty Sympathy Card

 Good day!  Mary Louise here from East Coast Stamping with Mary Louise, your independant Stampin' Up! demonstrator from Aylesford, N.S., Canada.

Welcome, and let's talk about beautiful designer series paper from the new January-April 2023 mini catalogue!  Desert Details is my favourite for this catalogue with it's beautiful tones and designs.  Todays project is a sympathy card made with the Desert Details dsp and some Cajun Craze cardstock. I followed a sketch from our Demonstrator Facebook Page which cases the catalogue.  This sketch is from page 65 of the January to April Mini Catalogue.  The Framed Florets dies were used with the Cajun Craze cardstock and added to a layer of dsp.  Next I stamped the Flowers of Friendship image onto Basic White scrap using Memento ink then coloured in using a combination of markers and blender pens with ink pads. I don't have an extensive inventory of markers or blends so I use my blender pens and ink pads to fill in where needed.  I coloured the outer lines of the flower with Cajun Craze and then Petal Pink for the insides.  For the stems and leaves, Mossy Meadow for the outer lines and Old Olive for the insides.  I added extra layers of the leaves and punched using the coordinating punch, and also of the flowers to add depth.  


Using my silicone craft sheet and Mono Liquid Glue, I adhered the frame and flowers to the center of the cardfront and tied a Crumb Cake Essentials Twine bow using a Mini Glue Dot.  The sentiment is stamped on a scrap of Basic White using Memento ink and then fussy cut, popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals from the Something Fancy stamp set.  Some Irridescent Rhinestone Basic Pearls were added to finish the card off.  Since I like to finish my inserts, I also stamped and coloured the flower on the Basic White and added a sentiment.

Cajun Craze cardbase 5 1/2 x 8 1/2; scrap for die cut

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,...
