Stampin' Up! #throwbackthursday with How Sweet It Is DSP

 Hello!  And welcome to my blog!  Today is a #throwbackthursday post, I hope you take a trip down memory lane with me.

A few years ago,(2019) this DSP-How Sweet It Is was released.  Oh the pretty colours!  Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Goergeous Grape, Granny Apple Green and Pineapple Punch.  Some of the images were nice and big-cupcakes, candy jars and oh so easy to fussy cut.  I think I ordered this as part of a "halvsies" with my upline and used so much of it while it was current.  Once it retired, I trimmed the pieces to fit one of the Stampin' Storage cases and tucked it away, using it every once in awhile.  Well this week, I decided I needed to clean up those scrap pieces and make some cards with it.  Win win for me as I always need cards in my stash and I really needed another empty case to transition the most recent catalogues offerings of retired dsp into.

Thanks to pinterest and great demonstrators for some inspiration, I was able to create a few and alas, my storage case is now ready for another package of dsp.

Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana cardbases, Gorgeous Grape and Basic White for extra layers.  Some retired dies-Amazing Thanks & Stitched Shaped Dies,  retired stamps-Hello Cupcake, Sweet Ice Cream, various embellishments and Vellum Doilies helped to achieve these cool cards. 



Can't wait to give these fun and colourful cards to someone soon!

Hope you enjoyed these as much as I did making them and remember, you can use these layouts for any type of dsp and achieve so many different cards.

Thanks for stopping by,

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
