Stampin’ Up! Design a Daydream Birthday Card

Loving this #throwbackthursday card I made using a few retired items.  

Sometimes, I just feel like kicking it old school and revisit some old favourites.  The colours in this dsp combined with the cardstock are just so calming and blend so well.  The design a daydream paper pack was HUGE! so ai might just have a piece or two left to use.  

I did a bit of paper sharing with this card also as the Coastal Cabana square as well as the piece behind the sentiment are cut from the center of the Coastal Cabana mat which is adhered to the Pool Party cardbase.  Then the layer of Design a Daydream dsp goes on top and you can’t even tell most of it is missing.  

The three die cut blocks are layered on top of each other, just using Stampin’ Seal with the top, Basic White one being stamped using Memento and the cute frog from the So Hoppy Together stamp set.  The sentiment, also stamped using Memento is from Best Day stamped onto a strip of Basic White (which I flagged on either end) and layered onto the strip of Coastal Cabana and adhered to the card front.  A few of the also retired Adhesive Backed Hexagons finished off the card.  

The insert is Basic White, with a frog stamped just off to the side and a cute sentiment.  Can’t wait to give this little guy away to some little, or little at ❤️.

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,...
