Stampin' Up! Cradled in Love Baby Card

 Oh My Goodness!  Talk about a sweet little card.  When I first saw this stamp set in the Sale a Bration, I knew I had to have it.  Not that I make a lot of baby cards, but I need this in my stash.

I did look at a few you tube videos from other demos and used some of their ideas and then used my own colours and finishing touches.

The Soft Sea Foam layer is stamped all over using the Soft Sea Foam ink and the stamp from the Cradled in Love (elephant).  I wasn't fussy with the center because that was going to be covered over anyways.  Next, I cut from Basic White using the 2nd largest die from Color & Contour die set. Then I stamped using Pecan Pie, first the cradle, then the mat, arm for the mobile and mobile.  I used Pecan Pie for the crib, arm and mobile ring, Crumb Cake for the mat, So Saffron for the blanket and mobile toys, grey for the whale and elephant (which I stamped onto a scrap of Basic White and fussy cut x2).  Then, using the Soft Sea Foam ink pad and a blending brush, I added a bit of colour beneath the cradle, along the sides, and behind the mobile.  Then I stamped the Bundle of Joy sentiment in Pecan Pie.  The elephant is popped up as is this entire Basic White piece.  My embellishments are from the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed dots.

Of course, I had to add a little something to the inside so it wasn't so plain.  I stamped the mat off to the side and used the blending brush and Soft Sea Foam to add a bit of colour where I planned to add the insert.  That too, is stamped using Pecan Pie.

I can't wait to try this in different colours

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 2023-2025 In C

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, adhere the strip up to the fir
