Stampin’ Up! rain or Shine Birthday card

 Hey everyone!  Welcome!  

For those that know me, know I love a great sketch to challenge my crafting brain.  I had seen this floating around Instagram several days in a row and marvelled at how every demonstrator did something so different while still staying pretty true to the sketch.  I knew I just had to give it a go!

I actually crafted this before the end of February 2023 so Sale a Bration was still live.  You could use any current dsp for this same sketch or if you were one of the lucky ones to snag a pack of the Day at the Farm dsp, here is an option.

Pear Pizzazz layer was embossed using the Hive 3d embossing folder then it was adhered to the Garden Green cardbase.  Two coordinating pieces of the Day at the Farm dsp were used next with a single strand of Linen Thread tied around and knotted to the side.  Adhere this to the base.  Next, the Vellum layering designs was punched using the essential tag punch which was popped up using dimensionals.  The sentiment, from Heron Habitat was stamped using Memento onto a die cut of Garden Green using the Something fancy dies and adhered using stampin' seal.  A few Elegant Faceted Gems finish off this gem of a card.  So many layers but they all came together easily because Stampin' UP! coordinates their cardstock, dsp and gems.  Makes crafting easy for all levels of crafters.  Of course, this sketch could be used for any occassion, just switch out the dsp, or make your own!

Garden Green cardbase: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scrap for sentiment

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,...
