Stampin UP Poinsettia Place Christmas Card

 #throwbackthursday post!!  I'm not a huge flower lover but I do enjoy Poinsettia's and couldn't wait to dig into my retired stash to create this card.  The sketch I used has been in my stash almost as long as the dsp was and it was perfect to show off all of the pretty colours in the paper. Since I needed to make multiples for my swap, I had enough Bumblebee cardstock left to make most of my cards, one I had to switch up to greens.  

Fussy cutting is something I don't mind doing and these flowers were perfect to cut up.  Using partial images in this way is great to use up all the dsp-no waste!





The Bumblebee layer was embossed using the Old World Paper 3d embossing folder, then adhered to the Soft Suede cardbase.  Two strips of coordinating dsp were flagged on the bottom and layered next using Stampin Seal.  The sentiment, stamped using Memento onto Basic White was from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set and then popped onto a Bumblebee base.  Layering Circle Dies were used for all three of the circles, Basic White for sentiment, Bumblebee and then Soft Suede.  The fussy cut flower was adhered to the Soft Suede circle and then the smaller circles on top or beside depending on the flower used.  These were popped up with dimensionals and then various embellishments were used-it was basically use what I had in my stash that matched.  I love how it came together and how well all of the colours and dsp designs coordinate.

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,...
