Stampin' Up! Gift of Giving Christmas Card



Good day!  Today's project is one I cased from Pinterest.  I just got this stamp in my order this week and wanted to do something right away.  After a quick peek online, I found this from another demo and thought "I really need to do this".  Now I did alter it a couple of ways, one layer instead of two of the coloured cardstock.  Also, the original post had four layers of the gifts and mine is two.
I coloured using my Watercolor Pencils and then used my Blender Pens to, well, blend the colours.  LOL.
So I stamped the image onto a layer of Basic White using Memento and coloured in each of the images.  Then I stamped another image onto a scrap, fussy cut just the gifts, coloured those and then used the Blender Pens again.  These are popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals.  Using the Basic Grey pencil, I added some colour and interest under Santa's boots.  This stamped layer was adhered to a layer of Real Red and then mounted onto a Basic White cardbase. Next, I added a few little elements to the inside too, using the holly leaves stamp and coloured also.  The finishing touch was some of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels which I coloured using a Real Red Blend.  I love this effect of the layered images and never think to do it.  

 Measurements and Materials:

Basic White Cardbase 4 1/4 x 11; 4 x 5 1/4; scrap for stamping

Real Red cardstock 4 1/8 x 5 5/8

Gift of Giving Stamp set

Watercolor Pencils I used: real Red, White, Basic Grey, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point and Old Olive

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,...
