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

Memento Ink

Stampin' Up! Paper Butterfly Accents Sympathy Card

Image
Good day folks!  Another cold, sunny January day here in Nova Scotia.  Here is another project that I provided for my club gals.  It's actually one I found on Pinterest and case'd it using items I had on hand.  I had bought the butterfly accents last fall and finally got around to using them. I like this card because there is very little stamping, a bit of colour added using Blending Brushes and then adhere all of the pieces.  Let's get started! Colouring was the first part of this card.  First I added some colour to the sentiment for the cardfront as well as the insert using the Berry Burst ink and Blending Brushes.  I didn't want a lot of colour, just enough to pop the Memento sentiments....which I added next using sentiments from the Something Fancy stamp set.  The sentiment for the front can now be cut using the die from the Something Fancy bundle.  Next, I added some Berry Burst to the butterflies, again using the Blending Brushes.(large...

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Beauty DSP Birthday Card

Image
Today's card is from a sketch that I found online from an American Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I often search facebook or instagram for inspiration to get the creative juices flowing. Stampin' Up! has made card creating so easy by offering so many coordinating products, it takes the guess work out of it and allows us more time to focus on having fun. The first layer of dsp used is a piece from the 2024-2026 In Color and I used the Summer Splash colour. This is adhered to a Summer Splash cardbase.  There are three more pieces of Summer Splash cardstock topped with either dsp or the top one which has Basic White on it.  They are all adhered using Stampin' Seal and Stampin' Dimensionals along the outer edges.  The Basic White cardstock layer is stamped using Memento and the Country Birdhouse stamp set.  To achieve the happy birthday, I covered one half of the stamp while inking it up, removed the covering (post it note) and then stamped. I also added a fussy cut im...
