Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Decorative Mask Sympathy Card

Hello everyone!  I needed to use the last mask from the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and thought this was the perfect time.  I had seen other demos using it, and thought I would give it a try.  The colours were chosen for the base and ink based on the coordinating dsp.  The cardbase is Pecan Pie, the first layer is Grey Granite which I coloured using Pecan Pie ink and the houndstooth mask.  Using my Blending Brush, I added colour over the entire mask until I got the look I wanted.  This was then adhered to the cardbase.  Next, I attached the dsp strips to the front using Stampin' Seal.  My sentiment, from the In the Moment stamp set was stamped in Memento then cut down to the size I wanted and angled on either end.  This is popped up using dimensionals over top of a strand of 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim which I just made look like loops-no fancy technical term there!  It's all topped off by a few of the Classic Mat Dots.  I just love the look of this and can't wait to try another colour combination and another occassion.

Pecan Pie cardbase 5 1/2 x 8 1/2

Gray Granite cardstock 4 x 5 1/4; scrap for sentiment

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,...
