Stampin Up Fresh as a Daisy Thank You card

Today turned out to be a beautiful day here in Nova Scotia.  Started frosty but now I have some windows open and the sun is shining bright!  Great to help dry up all of the recent rain we've had and it's great for our mental health.  
Todays project is based on a sketch from Andrea and created during a facebook live.  My card is reversed from the sketch but otherwise pretty much bang on!
It's really just a matter of cutting and pasting.  I added the Early Espresso layer onto the cardfront, then added the three pieces of dsp around the edges.  I tried my very very best (lol) to keep the same amount of space between each piece, and then I added the bigger piece.  The sentiment is stamped using Early Espresso onto a piece of Basic White, then punched using the Hexagon punch.  I adhered a length of the textured ribbon to the card front using Stampin' Seal, then popped up my sentiment on Stampin' Dimensionals to fit right over the ribbon.  Great effect!  A few of the Rhinestones finished off the front.  I added the strip of dsp to the Basic White before adhering to the inside of the card.  I didn't put a sentiment in there, I will be writing a personal message and will likely need all the room.
Another great sketch to use any dsp with to create any occasion.  So versatile.

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,...
