Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Fun Fold Birthday Card

 Good Day!  Here is the second project made for my club gals for this month.  Super easy and so effective of a fun fold.  It is a great way to use up those lost strips of dsp, you could also use dsp you make yourself or even a coordinating colour of cardstock and dry emboss.  Oh the possibilities are endless.

I used Gorgeous Grape for my cardbase-not gonna lie...it's a very pretty colour but for whatever reason I rarely reach for it.  Paired with the Perennial Lavender dsp and it's fabulous!  So your cardbase is scored, in half and in half again. Be sure to run your bone folder over the folds a couple of times.  So the strip of dsp is going to be adhered to the first section on the left hand side.  If you open the card in full, the dsp will go on the first scored section on the left.  Next, stamp a greeting on the Basic White piece (if you want one), adhere your strip of dsp and then adhere to the inside of the card.  Phew, almost there!  (super easy, told ya!). Next, stamp your outside greeting onto a piece of Basic White that has been die cut using the Something Fancy Dies using Gorgeous Grape.  This piece is paired with the die cut of Highland Heather, using the same die as the Basic White piece.  Run a piece of Linen Thread through the cute hole the die cut allows and place onto the card.  Please remember to only adhere the left hand side of the die cuts-if you adhere the entire thing, you won't be able to open your card.  A few of the Glossy Dots Assortment embellishments finish up this very pretty 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,...
