Stampin' Up! Fresh as a Daisy Birthday Card

 Hello and welcome to my blog.  I am an independant Stampin' Up! demonstrator in Nova Scotia and today's card shows heat embossing featuring the Color & Contour stamp set.

This technique has been around forever, and so has stamping directly onto the designer series paper.  I just thought it was so much fun and very pretty.  So let's get to it.

I used a Basic White cardbase, standard size and topped it with a panel of Fresh as a Daisy DSP.  I picked the Copper Clay piece, it makes the perfect background.  Using the embossing buddy to remove excess static, I rubbed it over the dsp where I was planning to emboss.  This helps to keep your powder where you want it to be.  Then I inked up the flower image in Versamark, randomly placing the flower over the dsp.  After sprinkling with the White Embossing Powder, I set the Heat tool to high and carefully watched as the heat melted the powder.  I could watch that process all day, lol.  This was adhered to the cardbase.  I had a strip leftover so I placed that on the inside too.  Using Memento and a scrap of Basic White cardstock, I stamped my sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set and cut apart the words.  These were then popped up using mini stampin' dimensionals.  Separating a strand of the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim Copper Clay, I made a small bow which I attached using a Mini Glue Dot.  To finish it off, a few of the Classic Matte Dots were randomnly placed.  So happy with this card.  Can't wait to make this again using a different piece of dsp for the background.

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,...
