Stampin' Up! Happy Forest Friends DSP Birthday Card

Another sketch, another afternoon edition of stamping with Andrea and I!  You just never know what kind of shananigans we might get into.  It's always a blast!

I started with the Calypso Coral cardbase where I adhered the layer of dsp using Stampin' Seal.  Then I stamped a few flower using Blushing Bride and Calypso Coral inks onto Blushing Bride cardstock.  Then I fussy cut them out.  Using the Best Label Punch, the sentiment was cut from Blushing Bride cardstock stamped in Calypso Coral and popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals.  The flowers were put together using Stampin' Seal and Mini Glue Dots and adhered to the card front.  A  bow from the Simply Elegant Trim and a few Irridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels finished off the card nicely.

Stampin' Up! Beary Christmas Patchwork Border Christmas Card

Image
 I know, it isn't even technically fall yet, but I just had to jump onto the Christmas Card wagon using some of the items from the new Mini Catalogue.  Isn't this dsp pretty?  It's the Beary Christmas dsp and it's all kinds of pretty blues, snow flakes with some great images to fussy cut or there is even a coordinating punch. The layout or sketch for this card is becoming a huge hit right now, the patchwork border sketch.  It's really quite simple actually, four pieces of dsp are cut-two of each size but using two different designs.  Add a piece of light cardstock in the center for the sentiment, layer it all onto another piece and it is so done.  My cardbase is Balmy Blue, my first layer is Night of Navy.  The pieces of dsp are from the Beary Christmas paper pack which are placed around the border of the Night of Navy.  I used a piece of Very Vanilla for the insert, stamped using Balmy Blue ink and the Brightest Glow stamp set.  The cool images are all fussy cut fr

Stampin' Up! Winter Meadow Christmas Card

Image
 Good Day Everyone!  I thought this card layout was very interesting.  While it does seem to be a fairly simple card to create, if you try to mass produce or swap out dsp, you can get a bit lost in the cuts.  Please don't shy away from this though, it really is a creative way to mix and match your dsp.  If you don't have dsp, you could easily make your own and then cut.  I watched a video on you tube from another demonstrator to make sure I did the cuts correctly.  In the end, it isn't about measuring at all, but making sure the stack you use are always lined up. Using three different pieces of dsp that measure 4 x 5 1/4, stack them all on top of each other.  Remember, however you have them stacked will be the layout when you swap them out.  Now you can create three different cards all from these pieces and simply shuffling them between the three card bases. Place the three pieces on your trimmer, and cut from the top left, over about 1 3/4 or 2 " from the left.  Cut i
