Stampin' UP! Trucking Along Birthday Card

 Hello, todays project is based on a sketch challenge that another Stampin' Up! demonstrator Patti@pspapercrafts had posted on her blog.  I did use the same paper that she used but changed up my main focal point.  

I must say I am really enjoying this Trucking Along stamp set alot.  I was a bit hesitant to purchase it but now that I have used it a few times, yup!  I am hooked.

Today's card uses a Bubble Bath cardbase, with a white panel and insert.  The banners are cut from Bright & Beautiful designer series paper and backed with more of the Bubble Bath cardstock.  They are just adhered together and layered onto the cardbase. I didn't really measure the length of my banners, just cut them long, arranged where I wanted them on the card front and trimmed from the top.  If you are wanting to be more precise, then you could measure before you cut your Bubble Bath and DSP pieces. The fun part is next-stamping the truck on a piece of Basic White cardstock. 



 

The outline is stamped in Night of Navy, the "fill in" stamp used Misty Moonlight.  I coloured the bumpers and tires with my light basic black stamping blend.  Next with the Pool Party blend, I added a bit to the back bumper, back window and side window.  Also the markings on the hubcaps are coloured with the Pool Party.  I stamped the presents using Berry Burst and then the "fill in" stamp using Blushing Bride.  The sentiment is stamped using Berry Burst also.  I used a die from the Scalloped Contour Dies then added some colour around the edges with my Blending Brush and Berry Burst before I popped it up on the card front using dimensionals.  Wink of Stella on the truck and a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels finished it up.

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,...
