Stampin' Up! Fresh as a Daisy DSP Sympathy Card





When I first started trying to decide how I wanted my card to resemble the sketch, I reached for the Fresh as a Daisy dsp.  This panel was just the perfect size for a card front but I needed something extra to make the card extra special.  I reached for my Cloud Punch and decided to add my own cloud to the scenery.  After I punched one using scraps of Basic White, I added a bit of Azure Afternoon using my blending brush.  Just enough to lend a bit of colour and not be so stark.  Then I heat embossed my sentiment using Black Embossing Powder. The panel of dsp was added to a Wild Wheat cardbase using Stampin' Seal.   A small length of Wild Wheat ribbon adhered to the card front, then the punched cloud popped up with dimensionals added the right touch.  I followed that with a few Wild Wheat embellishments from the 2023-2025 In Colour Dots.  For the insert, I used the negative space from the strip of Basic White that I punched my cloud from, positioned it where I wanted my sentiment and added a bit of Azure Afternoon here too.  Once I added enough colour using my blending brush, I also added another partial cloud in the upper, right hand corner.  The sentiment was then stamped with Versamark, then Black Embossing Powder and zapped with the Heat tool.  I so love the effect, it's amazing how powder melts onto the cardstock and the finished results.  A small strip of dsp along the edge finished off the insert and was adhered to the cardbase.

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,...
