Stampin' Up! Zoo Crew Birthday

 Oh boy!  This card was so much fun to make!  I made it during a facebook live with Andrea and all kinds of things went wrong for me but the card is completed and is such a fun card!

The sketch was super cool, not sure I followed it totally but oh well.  It was the jumping off point that I needed to get me moving.


I started by fussy cutting the cute racoon holding balloons from the Zoo Crew DSP which I then coloured the racoon with Bronze and Ivory.  This is popped up onto the piece of Bright and Beautiful DSP.  This was then adhered to a layer of Lemon Lime Twist.  The sentiment is from the Charming Sentiments which I cut apart and popped up onto the card front.  I added a few of the Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots.  The cardbase is Basic White where I stamped using Memento a sentiment from Hello Ladybug.  Now is where the fun starts.  I stamped using Alphabest and Memento, the letters for Happy Birthday alternating on lemon lime twist cardstock and the Bright and Beautiful DSP and punched out using the Best Label Punch.  Then I adhered them in an arc around the sentiment.  Lastly, I added a strip of dsp to the bottom.  Now the cardfront was adhered to the cardbase.  All finished!

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,...
