Stampin' Up! Countryside Inn Sympathy Card

 Hello!

Stamping using a sketch is often the only inspiration I need.  Other times, I need a whole lot more.  Today's project came easily and I am so pleased with the results.  Andrea provided the sketch and we each created using our interpretation.  I can't stress enough how much fun it is to craft with a friend, even if it is virtually.  It's really good for the mind.  

I had actually forgotten that I had a bit of the Countryside Inn dsp leftover so I created based on that.  I love all of the blue's that Stampin' Up! has to offer right now.  My Misty Moonlight cardbase was the perfect choice to layer a piece of Boho Blue cardstock onto.  Then I adhered the other three pieces, which are different designs of the dsp.  Using the Timeless Arrangement dies and a scrap of Basic White and Boho Blue, I die cut some foilage to layer with the sentiment.  Heartfelt Hexagon and Night of Navy ink finished off the sentiment which is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The upper, right corner is home to a few of the Classic Matte Dots to finish off the card.

The insert is a panel of Basic White layered onto a panel of Boho Blue cardstock.  A small strip of dsp across the bottom helps to finish it off also.  I did add an old favourite sentiment from Love & Sympathy (retired) using the Night of Navy ink pad.  

It's sad that it's a sympathy card but it is so very nice.  I really tried to not make it overly feminine.

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,...
