Stampin' Up! Seaside Seashells Dies Birthday Card

 Good day!  We had so much fun creating from today's sketch created by Andrea.  One sketch and two totally different interpretations but great results, just the same.  It is always better to craft with a friend, even if it is via facebook and several provinces difference.  While I did not use circles as my focal point, there are circle-ish shapes in the die cut image.  

My card was made with a Very Vanilla cardbase and mat layer.  I ran the layer through the Big Shot using the Seashells Embossing Folder, then through again using the Seaside Seashells Dies-such a great effect.  Then I used Blushing Bride and Crumb Cake inks along with my Blending Brush to add a bit of colour to the die cut piece.  It offered just enough colour once adhered to the cardbase.  I used liquid glue, a sponge and my silicone mat to ensure all pieces were covered.  The sentiment was from the Something Fancy stamp set, stamped using Memento and on a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Adhesive Backed Studs help to round out the card.

Very Vanilla cardstock: 4 1/4 x 11; 4 x 5 1/4, scrap

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,...
