Stampin' Up! Just Kidding Friend Card

Hey folks!  Another week with #sketchintuesday and this one ended up being super cute!  The sketch kind of intimidated me, and that could be why I didn't follow exactly but that's the beauty of a sketch....to do your own thing!
This one took minimal supplies, and I only stamped the sentiment as the dsp did ALL of the work!
This Just Kidding dsp is super cute and oh so inclusive.  At first I thought the image I chose had some sort of barrette in her hair but closer inspection shows a cochlear implant and might totally be a boy or a girl!  I didn't chose for gender, I just liked how they were holding books which is also incorporated into the other piece of dsp I chose.  I actually cut it down to just include the bookshelf and fun accessories.  Just what you would want to see at any library.
The cardbase is Pool Party which I adhered the first panel of dsp to using Stampin' Seal.  Then after cutting down my next panel of dsp, that was also adhered using Stampin' Seal.  I started with die cutting the little image but decided to fussy cut so it wasn't covering so much of the fun image behind.  This was actually popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals.  Not gonna lie, it was a bit tough to fussy cut clean around the hair, lol.  Too cute!  The sentiment from Timeless Arrangements was stamped in Memento onto a scrap of Pool Party and die cut using Something Fancy Dies and also popped up with dimensionals.  A few of the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots finished off the front.  Now for the inside, I stamped another sentiment in Memento on a piece of Basic White and added a strip of the leftover dsp.  Then adhered to the inside of the card and it's all finished.  Super simple actually.
I think it's a fun image and can't wait to give it away!

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,...
