Stampin' Up! Poetic Expressions Birthday Card

Good day!

I always enjoy a good sketch and this one did not disappoint.  They certainly make my brief time at the craft table easier and more enjoyable.  I can't wait to duplicate this one in particular using many different dsp options (trust me, I have LOTS to try it with!)

I adhered the large piece of dsp to the smaller panel of Basic White using Stampin' Seal, then wrapped a length of the textured ribbon around it before adhering it all to the Wild Wheat cardbase.  I stamped the sentiment using Memento ink from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set, then punched it using the Hexagon punch.  I also added a splash of colour with Flirty Flamingo.  This is popped up using the Stampin' Dimensionals.  A few of the In Color Dots were added for interest.

Since I love a finished insert, I stamped a sentiment using Memento on the Basic White piece of cardstock, added a strip of dsp and adhered to the inside of the card.  

At first I thought it might be too much of one colour but I think there's just enough white in the dsp pattern to offset the Wild Wheat.  I really am pleased with the results.





 Materials and Measurements:

Wild Wheat cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2

Basic White 4 x 5 1/4, 2 1/2 x 5 1/4, scrap for sentiment

Poetic Expressions DSP 2 3/4 x 4 3/4, scrap for insert

Heartfelt Hexagon bundle

Memento and Flirty Flamingo Ink Pads

2023-2025 In Color Dots

3/8" textured ribbon-Wild Wheat

Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals


This was a fun sketch, even better that it had the measurements for me so it was super fast to prep.  Swap out the dsp and sentiment for so many options.

As always, appreciate your comments.

Thanks for dropping by,

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,...
