Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Sympathy Card

 Hello all and Happy New Years!  It is so hard to believe that this is 2024 and that it's taken me 5 days to finally post something!  Gotta say, I didn't ring in the new year in a great way as I had the flu for 4 days.  Yesterday I felt almost human again and decided to resume my Thursday sketch lives with my sideline Andrea.  It is always so much more fun to craft with a buddy, even if it is virtually.  Here is the link if you want to watch how we made our cards!  https://www.facebook.com/prairieskyDIY/videos/6949769681779110/

Andrea provided the sketch, and without any discussions beforehand, we both ended up using the same bundle and with the same sentiment.  Totally was a surprise!

The new January to April 2024 mini and sale a bration is live now.  If you don't have a demonstrator and live in Canada and would like a catalogue, send me a message and I will hook you up.

A couple of the products I used for this project were from the new mini-the Poetic Expressions dsp and the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp/punch bundle.  

I cut 2 pieces of Basic White cardstock using the scalloped edge rectangle dies-1 for the insert and 1 for the front.  I layered the front piece with a piece of the new Poetic Expressions dsp and then adhered that to the Boho Blue cardbase using Stampin' Seal.  Stamping with Memento ink onto a scrap of Basic White, I used the outside frame, and sympathy sentiment.  Next was punching it out using the new Hexagon Punch.  For some added colour, I added a little accent stamp using Calypso Coral.  This was popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals over a strip of folded Textured Ribbon.  The perfect finishing touch are the embellishments-2023-2025 In Color Dots I used to add some interest.  For the insert, I added a small strip of the same dsp along with a sentiment from In The Moment.

Nobody said that sympathy cards had to be dull and dreary, and I really am quite pleased with how this one turned out.  Again, you could use this layout and swap out the colours to create many more cards for other occasions.

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,...
