Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks Masculine Birthday Card

 Hey everyone, todays project was based on a sketch that my pal and side line Andrea created.  It's been so long since we have crafted together, we forgot all the important stuff for our live!  Like, hello, and introducing ourselves and telling what we used to create the projects.  Oh my!  But we had fun and we made beautiful cards so that's all that matters.  It is so much nicer to craft with a buddy, even if it is virtually.  So if you want to catch us live, here is the link. 

So my cardbase is Pebble Path, with a layer of Earthern Elegance dsp adhered to it.  Next, using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks (leaves mask) and my Blending Brushes, I added various colours and rubbed them onto the Basic White.  This was then layered onto a piece of Pebbled Path cardstock.  While I still had the mask out, I made a small design up the side of the insert also.  Then I stamped a sentiment, added a strip of dsp and adhered to the inside of the card.  My front sentiment is stamped using Biggest Wish and the happy birthday stamps, both using the Pecan Pie ink.  I stamped off for the Birthday before stamping onto a piece of Basic White and then inked up the happy and stamped on top of the birthday.  This was also adhered to a layer of Pebbled Path.  The twine I used is from the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim but I only used 1 strand of it.  Then I added a bit of stampin seal to the card front where I wanted my sentiment to go, wound my twine to look like a figure 8 sticking it to the stampin seal.  Then I added stampin dimensionals to the back of my sentiment layer and placed it over the twine.  A few Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots finished it off.

Stampin' Up! Beary Christmas Patchwork Border Christmas Card

Image
 I know, it isn't even technically fall yet, but I just had to jump onto the Christmas Card wagon using some of the items from the new Mini Catalogue.  Isn't this dsp pretty?  It's the Beary Christmas dsp and it's all kinds of pretty blues, snow flakes with some great images to fussy cut or there is even a coordinating punch. The layout or sketch for this card is becoming a huge hit right now, the patchwork border sketch.  It's really quite simple actually, four pieces of dsp are cut-two of each size but using two different designs.  Add a piece of light cardstock in the center for the sentiment, layer it all onto another piece and it is so done.  My cardbase is Balmy Blue, my first layer is Night of Navy.  The pieces of dsp are from the Beary Christmas paper pack which are placed around the border of the Night of Navy.  I used a piece of Very Vanilla for the insert, stamped using Balmy Blue ink and the Brightest Glow stamp set.  The cool images are all fussy cut fr

Stampin' Up! Winter Meadow Christmas Card

 Good Day Everyone!  I thought this card layout was very interesting.  While it does seem to be a fairly simple card to create, if you try to mass produce or swap out dsp, you can get a bit lost in the cuts.  Please don't shy away from this though, it really is a creative way to mix and match your dsp.  If you don't have dsp, you could easily make your own and then cut.  I watched a video on you tube from another demonstrator to make sure I did the cuts correctly.  In the end, it isn't about measuring at all, but making sure the stack you use are always lined up. Using three different pieces of dsp that measure 4 x 5 1/4, stack them all on top of each other.  Remember, however you have them stacked will be the layout when you swap them out.  Now you can create three different cards all from these pieces and simply shuffling them between the three card bases. Place the three pieces on your trimmer, and cut from the top left, over about 1 3/4 or 2 " from the left.  Cut i
