Stampin’ Up! Places in the Heart Embossed Baby Card

 Today's card was featured during a recent #sketchintuesday sketch challenge.  Each week I find a sketch from the internet and create using my own interpretation.  Sometimes it is clear where I have gone but other times, I admit I go a bit rogue!  It's all in fun!

I don't have many baby cards and when I pulled the Places in the Heart stamp from my shelf I knew I had to use this and heat emboss it.  The fact that the stamp is so detailed made me a bit nervous about if it would actually create a clear image but I am soooo happy with it.  

Using a Basic White cardbase, first I stamped a sentiment on the inside and added a strip of dsp.  Then I added the two pieces of 2022-2024 In Colours DSP using Stampin' Seal.  Next I used my embossing buddy to give my piece of Starry Sky cardstock a good rub to help reduce any static cling.  Next I used the Versamark pad and inked up my image, stamped onto the Starry Sky piece.  White embossing powder was sprinkled next, tapped off excess powder and set it with my Heat Tool.  Isn't it amazing how it transforms from powder to a smooth, shiny finish.  This was popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals.  The sentiment, from Places in the Heart, is stamped using Memento onto a scrap of Basic White and then popped up using more dimensionals.  Pearl Basic Jewels added just the right touch to complete this beautiful card.  I can't wait to try this using other colours, love it so much

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,...
