Stampin' Up! Fresh As a Daisy Sympathy Card

 Hello!  It's Mary Louise here, from East Coast Stamping with Mary Louise.  Do you prefer to craft alone or with a buddy?  How are you most productive-alone or with a buddy/group?  In person or virtual or does it really matter????  Oh I am asking all of the questions today!  I personally prefer with a buddy but I craft alone also.  I likely get more done with other people because then I set more deadlines than alone.  And to be honest, as much as I enjoy going out to see people, I can be just as comfortable at home, via teams/zoom/fb and craft along with a group.  

Today I am crafting with a buddy, Andrea!  She created our sketch and we both used different products which resulted in different projects.  Both were very nice and both very close to the sketch for a change.

When Andrea sent me the sketch I knew exactly what I wanted to do.  I had recently purchased the Fresh as a Daisy DSP and remembered this piece and thought it fit well.  There is a similar sketch that I have used many times but always used three different pieces of paper but today I knew I wanted only one.  

After cutting the beautiful daisies into three parts, I adhered them onto a layer of Copper Clay.  This was the first I had used of this new colour and I LOVE IT!  It shows just enough of the earthy tones to bring out the centers of the daisies.  This was then adhered to a Basic White cardbase with a strip of dsp for the inside.  Using a small piece of Copper Clay, I then stamped the sentiment from Something Fancy using Whisper White ink.  This was die cut using the Something Fancy Dies and popped up onto the card front after adhering a length of Baker's Twine Essentials Pack (white) underneath for interest.  It was a close call but the Brushed Brass Butterflies won for the embellishments.  

I love how this card came together and so quickly but it is a beauty!  Thanks to everyone who watched either live or on replay as we have so much fun doing out thing!

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,...
