Stampin' Up! Bright and Beautiful DSP Birthday Card

 Hey There!  I always love a new fun fold and couldn't wait to try this one.  It was a little different as you can only fit one cardbase to an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock.  More of the new colours and papers were used to make this card.  Yellow has never been one of my go to colours, so wasn't sure how the Lemon Lolly cardstock was going to fare, but  I am very pleased with the results. 

The Bright and Beautiful DSP is layered onto the Lemon Lolly cardstock using Stampin' Seal-be careful of the direction of the dsp and the design and don't adhere until you figure out where you want your pieces.  To guage placement of your inside sentiment, just lay your basic white insert inside the card to stamp. Then you can adhere it to the inside-I try to always stamp before I adhere just in case!  Die cut squared image from the Zoo Crew DSP using the Stylish Shapes Dies is the front focal piece.  This is only adhered partially, be careful not to apply adhesive on the back entirely or you won't be able to open your flaps.  The sentiments used are from the Sweet Songbirds stamp set, stamped in Memento.  The front sentiment is on a strip of Basic White trimmed using your scissors and then popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  A few Glossy Dots Assorted to match completed the card.  My club gals had fun with this one...isn't that flute playing frog the cutest?????

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 2023-2025 In C

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, adhere the strip up to the fir
