Stampin’ Up! Bright and Beautiful Birthday Card

 Good day folks!  I hope you are having a great one.  Creating with paper and ink always makes me happy even if there is a challenge of a new sketch or technique involved.  Today's project is a quick and easy sketch that would be fantastic for helping to use up scraps from your paper stash.  Using full layers of designer series paper is easy but always leaves behind beautiful pieces that you just can't ever seem to toss.  And why should you as there is still lots of life left and so many options for putting together some great projects.

Using a Basic White cardbase, I adhered a piece of Bright and Beautiful DSP using Stampin' Seal.  Next I added three strips from the same paper pack, again using Stampin' Seal.  There was even a strip left for the inside of the card.  

Have you made anything yet using the new Azure Afternoon colour?  I am so pleased with the blue offerings right now in the current Annual catalogue.  The oval frame I chose is from the Framed Florets Dies and I used the Azure Afternoon cardstock.  Oh My!  How elegant!  Something Fancy stamp set using Memento ink was used for the sentiment.  Now I popped everything up using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals and then added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish off my project.  I really enjoy the look of how everything coordinated, the glory of using Stampin’ Up! products. 



Measurements and materials:
Basic white cardbase 5 1/2 x 8 1/2
Bright & Beautiful dsp 4 x 5 1/4, coordinating dsp 1x 3 1/2 (3), strip for the inside
Azure Afternoon cardstock for die cut
Something fancy stamp set
Framed Florets Dies
Memento ink
Rhinestone Basic Jewels
Stampin’ Seal, dimensionals

Imagine the possibilities when you switch out the dsp, cardstock colour and sentiment!  
I know I will be using this sketch again! 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...

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,...
