Stampin' Up! Something Fancy Birthday Card

Today, I get to play with all the pretty papers...the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper to start and then some Misty Moonlight to compliment them.  This sketch is so much fun to use, and I have used so many pretty combinations of it using different colours, alternating dsp, sentiments and embellishments too!  I tried to keep it less feminine, hoping to be able to put this in my masculine stash but we will see.

Lots of simple layering with the dsp and cardstock to start off with.  Then I ran the Night of Navy and Misty Moonlight cardstock through my Big Shot with the Framed Florets Dies-this way I was able to have the dark outer ring with the lighter colour center.  Bonus will be that I have another set, just the opposite for another time.  I stamped the sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp using NIght of Navy onto the Misty Moonlight center.  The entire center focal image is popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals.  I added a few of the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the front for some interest.

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
