Stampin Up Desert Details Sympathy Card

 Hello, from Aylesford, Nova Scotia, Canada.  My name is Mary Louise Johnson from East Coast Stamping with Mary Louise and I am an independant Stampin' Up! demonstrator.

Today's card was created from a sketch that Andrea designed and we had fun putting together during a facebook live event.  It really is entertaining when we get together even though we are from different Provinces.  


I am quite enjoying the Desert Details dsp pack from the new January-April 2023 mini catalogue.  I paired it up with some Gray Granite cardstock for the base as well as the oval die cut which I stamped my image on.  Both of the ovals are from various dies in the Framed Florets Dies.  The stamp sets used ared In the Moment and Peaceful Moments-I finish the insides of the cards with sentiments and strips of dsp.

After stamping the image using Memento, I coloured using my Watercolour pencils, popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals, added a Linen Thread bow with Mini Glue Dots then finished everything off with a few Classic Matte Dots.  The sentiment is stamped on Basic White strip using Memento and cut apart, then popped up with mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

I think this colour palette is perfect for the card I was trying to achieve, nice and subtle.  You really need to check out the paper pack for more beauty.

Gray Granite 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,...
