Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Decorative Mask Christmas Card

 Good day my crafting friends!  What a beautiful fall we are having so far here in Nova Scotia.  A few of the tropical storms have impacted parts of the province, but so far nothing we can't handle.

This week's #sketchintuesday I stepped away from fall creations and moved to Christmas.  Using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks-snowflake option and a piece of Night of Navy cardstock, I went to work and make a little snowfall with the Whisper White ink pad and my Blending Brush.  Once I got started, I didn't want to stop but we didn't need a complete snow storm, just light flurries. :) 

I added some strips of the Beary Christmas DSP to the card front and then adhered all to the Balmy Blue cardbase.  My sentiment, stamped using Night of Navy ink onto a Balmy Blue circle die cut from the Stylish Shapes Dies is popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals.  After thinking the card was a bit dark, I added a length of the White Herringbone Ribbon which is adhered using Stampin' Seal.  The snowflakes needed a bit of shimmer so I added some Wink of Stella, I love how they look!  Of course, some bling was needed so a few of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels were placed on the sentiment die cut.  

Since I love a finished insert, I added some Balmy Blue "snowflakes" to the inside using the stamp from Gift of Giving set.  Both of the sentiments were stamped in Night of Navy from the Brightest Glow stamp set.

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,...
