Stampin’ Up! Zoo Crew Masculine Birthday Card

 Welcome, 

Todays project was not an easy task for sure.  Leading up to my Facebook live, I asked for help deciding stamp set as well as dsp.  The chosen ones were Trucking Along and Zoo Crew dsp.  I found a sketch online and I went to work.  Don’t get me wrong, I love a good challenge and I do actually like the card I made! 

The largest piece of dsp is adhered to the cardfront using Stampin seal.  Then the smaller piece is adhered to the front of the cardfront.  The outline image of the truck is now stamped on Basic White using Memento.  Then Pecan Pie was stamped off once before filling in the rest of the truck.  Note the cute door sign stamped in Memento too!  The flowers came next, stamped again in Memento and coloured with Watercolor pencils  Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Basic Black and Grey.  Using the Blender Pens, I quickly went over my coloured images just to take out any lines or blotchiness.  Such a cool technique.  This piece was then adhered to the small Basic Black panel and popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The sentiment was stamped on Basic White scrap using Memento, cut apart and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A few of the Classic Matte Dots to finish off the front.  

The insert has the strip of dsp adhered to the Basic White panel and adhered to cardbase using Stampin’ Seal.  My intention was to make a gender neutral colour scheme for a wider audience of recipients, I think I achieved it!

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,...
