Stampin' Up! Zoo Crew Birthday Card

I try to do a live every Tuesday evening, to showcase a card or project using a sketch as my motivation.  Today, I thought I would try something a bit different and am very pleased with the outcome.  Another Stampin' Up! demo has a great project that she gives out clues on one day and then completes her clues (which ultimately end up being a card) via you tube the next day.  I borrowed from her recent post and followed her clues as my live to complete this very cool layout.

The card base is Basic Black which I adhered a layer of Petal Pink cardstock to after it had been embossed using the Merry Melody embossing folder.  Next, I cut three squares of Basic Black cardstock and two squares from Zoo Crew dsp and layered them using Stampin' Seal.  A final square of Basic White was stamped using Memento and the Timeless Arrangement stamp set and then layered onto the last of the Basic Black squares.  The fun Armadillo from the Zoo Crew dsp was then fussy cut and adhered to the Basic White square.  Using dimensionals, I added the two squares (dsp/black combo) first, and then added the last one over the top.  The tips of the bottom two squares will touch or slightly overlap but are hidden by the top one.  A simple bow using the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack (black) was adhered using Glue Dots and a few of the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots finished off the card.  The insert has a strip of dsp along with another sentiment also stamped using Memento.

This card is perfect for using up small pieces of both cardstock and dsp and can be utilized in so many ways especially if you change the orientation.

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,...
