Stampin' Up! Trusty Toolbox Birthday Card


Howdy folks!  Today's project was so much fun to create.  I did overthink the measurements but I won't do that again, lol.  Work smart not hard, right?  
So this fun Trusty Toolbox dsp is part of the sale a bration offerings happening right now.  I couldn't wait for this to arrive so I could do something with it.  The images are so fun to fussy cut, wonder what I can make next :)  
The first layer is from the Trusty Toolbox dsp which is adhered to the Gray Granite cardbase.  Then after cutting the four pieces of dsp and Poppy Parade cardstock, I adhered those together and placed onto the card front.  The Basic White is adhered to the last piece of Poppy Parade and adhere that to the cardfront also.  Next are a couple of tools that were fussy cut, again attached with Stampin' Seal.  The sentiment is stamped with Gray Granite ink on Gray Granite cardstock and cut apart.  These are now popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals and placed on the Basic White piece around the tools.  A few of the Classic Matte Dots finish off the front.
For the insert, I stamped Happy using Gray Granite onto the Basic White cardstock.  Then for a pop of colour, the birthday is in Poppy Parade.  A small strip of dsp to finish off the edges, adhere this to the cardbase and voila!
I sound like a broken record, but I love the versatility of sketches-they can be changed for any occassion.

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,...
