Stampin' Up! Nature's Sweetness Thank You Card

Welcome to my blog!  Today's project was created using a sketch from another Stampin' UP! demo that I was partnered with for a working group recently.  When she posted the sketch, I thought this was the perfect way to support her in her business goals.  Plus, it let me have fun with another sketch which is kind of my weakness.
I placed a layer of dsp from the Nature's Sweetness paper pack on to the Pecan Pie cardbase after first wrapping a length of the Faux Leather Trim around and securing with adhesive.  This layer has been popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Next I created three flowers using the Color & Contours Stamp set.  Two were stamped onto Basic White scraps and the third is heat embossed onto a piece of Pecan Pie.
The stamped ones were done with Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral-the stamp is a two step stamp and the I used the same colour for each of the two stamps.  They were die cut but I also did a bit of fussy cutting also.  The one on the Pecan Pie, after blotting my Embossing Buddy over the cardstock, I stamped the flower image using Versamark onto the cardstock.  Then I sprinkled generously the Gold Embossing Powder, tapping off the excess.  Once my Heat Tool warmed up, I directed the warm air towards the image and watched how it transformed from powder to a shiny solid.  It is amazing to watch.  Be sure not to hold the heat in one spot as it will burn your paper.
While I had everything still out, I also stamped the sentiment with Versamark and repeated the process using a strip of Pecan Pie cardstock.  I just trimmed down the strip around the words.  
The Pecan Pie flower is adhered using Stampin' Seal while the other two have Stampin Dimensionals.  The sentiment is also popped up.  One butterfly from the Brushed Brass Butterflies was added to a flower and then a few of the Adhesive-Backed speckled dots.  
I can never forget the insert:  a couple more stamped flower images placed onto a piece of Basic White which also has a strip of dsp on it completes the inside piece which can then be adhered to the card.

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,...
