Stampin' Up! Gilded Leafing Birthday Card


Have you ever noticed the offerings of cardbases and envelopes in the catalogue?  Even better when the designs are super pretty.  Today's project is using the Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes.  I actually cut one of the card bases in two and will make two cards with it.

Using Very Vanilla as my cardbase, I trimmed down the card front from the cards and envelopes pack.  This is then adhered to the cardbase using Stampin' Seal.  Almost done! :) I then stamped a sentiment on a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock, punched out using the Hexagon Punch.  Adding a strip of tear and tape all the way around the punched edge, I then dipped it into the Gilded Leafing.  Using my hands and a blending brush to shake off the excess leafing, I worked the loose stuff off.  I adhered a bit of Stampin' Seal to the front of my card where I wanted to add my ribbon, then placed a length of the Gold Faux Leather Trim to the front of my card.  My sentiment piece will now fit over the ribbon since I added Stampin' Dimensionals.  There is also a sentiment on the inside of the card.

This was super simple to make and soooo beautiful.  I figured there was enough gold and glitter that I didn't need to add any other embellishments.

Very Vanilla cardbase 4 1/4 x 11, scrap for punch

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,...
