Stampin' UP! Hello Ladybug Birthday Card (needs photo)

 Hello, and welcome to my blog.  I am Mary Louise from East Coast Stamping with Mary Louise, your independant Stampin' UP! demonstrator from Nova Scotia.

For those that know me, know my love of sketches.  Today's project is from a sketch from my pal, Andrea but it is also quite similar in design to one I completed previously.  You may just have to scroll back to find it.  Of course, I didn't make the same card but stayed pretty close to the actual sketch.  

I did create my own dsp using Basic White cardstock, stamping the leaf and flower images from the Hello Ladybug stamp set, using Granny Apple Green and Real Red.  To achieve the lighter colours, I just stamped several times without reinking my stamp.  Once I achieved the look I wanted, I trimmed the paper into strips, applied them to the layer of Zoo Crew dsp which was then adhered to the Basic Black cardbase.  I stamped the ladybug and wings onto Basic White scraps using Memento and Real Red, then fussy cut and popped up on the leaf image.  The sentiment is from Something Fancy stamp set, using Memento onto a strip of Basic White and trimmed down just with my scissors.  This too, is popped up using dimensionals.  Of course, a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added to bling up my project.

Would love to see how you have created using this sketch!!!

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
