Stampin' Up! All About Autumn Floating Element Thank You Card

Good day folks!

We are at the end of August and today certainly feels fallish and I AM LOVING IT!  :) 

I like to scroll through facebook, pinterest and all the other socials to look for card ideas, new techniques, etc.  When my side line pointed this technique out, I knew I had to give it a try.  I did modify it a little bit but the main technique is there.  It's really a fairly simple card to create but it packs a lot of wow!  By using the Copper Clay cardstock and the All About Autumn DSP, it created such a stunning card.  Such rich tones. 





Using the Copper Clay cardstock, I cut the base to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored it at 4 1/4.  Open the card up landscape, you are going to cut  on both ends 1 1/4 to the score line.  This will give you your flaps.  That's the hardest part, which isn't hard at all.  Next I embossed the second piece of Copper Clay and secured that to the card front which will actually fit between the two cut edges.  Next add the 2 pieces of dsp to the 2 outside flaps.  The 3 x 3 piece of dsp-cut that into equal strips-I did mine into 4.  Add these to the piece of window sheet.  Your strips will overhand on the top and bottom and you will want to leave a bit of the window sheet showing on either end. Stamp you sentiment onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut.  Add a few dimensionals and adhere over top a small length of the In Color Twine (I separated and used 1 strand).  Now you can add an inside sentiment if desired to the other piece of Very Vanilla, add a strip of the DSP and adhere to the inside of  the card.  I topped it off with a few of the 2023-2025 In Color Dots.




 Materials and measurements:

Copper Clay cardbase 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 and cut @ 1 1/4" from each side; 4 x 2 3/4 embossed;

All About Autumn DSP 3 x 3 cut into vertical strips (I cut into 4); 1 x 4 (2); strip for insert

Hint* I cut the two pieces of dsp from either end of the piece (leaving me with the 3 x 3 piece for the window sheet) so when I adhered to the cardbase, the pattern was just a continuation.

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,...
