Stampin' Up! Poetic Expressions Swing Out Card

 Hey all,

Today's card is a simple version of the Swing Out card.  I have never made one of these before and wanted to start slow.  My club gals thoroughly enjoyed the idea and all did a fantastic job with it.  There is a little trick to getting the die cut just right, but once you are past that, it's free sailing!




I did watch another demo do hers, so will post her video here for all to see.

My cardbase was Moody Mauve that I did layer the inside with a piece of the Poetic Expressions dsp.  I think this is my favourite so far from the new mini offerings.  Using the Something Fancy dies, I die cut half of the image (which creates the swing out), then die cut two Basic White from the next size down of the same die set.  These are then stamped and placed on the swing out piece and behind that on the dsp piece.  It sounds confusing but it certainly isn't.  When I stamped, I did the Let's Eat Cake in Memento, and added a leaf image in Old Olive.  For the inside sentiment, I added some leaves and flowers in Old Olive and Berry Burst to add some colour.  Everything is adhered using Stampin' Seal.  Some of the 2023-2025 In Color Dots were added to the front for some interest.  

Such a pretty card!  And you can see from the video that you can use any shape dies.

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,...
