Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Christmas Card


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, adhere the strip up to the first score line of the card only.  Then add adhesive to the last section on the strip which is also scored to the right side of insert.  Now you can add your image, which was die cut from Basic White cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Dies.  I adhered my image to the square of Gray Granite, centered on the scored line.  The sentiment, from Sentimental Wishes, was stamped using Gray Granite onto Basic White.  This was adhered using liquid tombow glue  followed with a few of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels.


Materials and Measurements:

Gray Granite  cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4; scrap for die cut, 1 x 8 1/2 scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4

Stampin' Up! Winter Meadow Christmas Card

Image
 Good Day Everyone!  I thought this card layout was very interesting.  While it does seem to be a fairly simple card to create, if you try to mass produce or swap out dsp, you can get a bit lost in the cuts.  Please don't shy away from this though, it really is a creative way to mix and match your dsp.  If you don't have dsp, you could easily make your own and then cut.  I watched a video on you tube from another demonstrator to make sure I did the cuts correctly.  In the end, it isn't about measuring at all, but making sure the stack you use are always lined up. Using three different pieces of dsp that measure 4 x 5 1/4, stack them all on top of each other.  Remember, however you have them stacked will be the layout when you swap them out.  Now you can create three different cards all from these pieces and simply shuffling them between the three card bases. Place the three pieces on your trimmer, and cut from the top left, over about 1 3/4 or 2 " from the left.  Cut i

Stampin' Up! Color & Contour Sympathy Card

Image
 Hello folks!  It's me, Mary Louise from East Coast Stamping with Mary Louise bringing you another project from my #sketchingtuesday's live recently.  Even though these colours are a bit bright, I think they are still appropriate for a sympathy card.  They blend well together and offer some light during an otherwise sad time.  It seems as soon as I make a few of these cards for my stash, there are being pulled, signed and mailed lately.   A piece of Basic White cardstock was cut using the Color & Contour dies as the first layer onto the cardbase.  Next was a layer of the Stargazing DSP which was adhered also using Stampin' Seal with a final layer of Basic White which I stamped images and a sentiment onto.  The beautiful flowers were stamped onto scrap Basic White, fussy cut and then popped up using dimensionals being sure to line up with the stamped leaves.  This stamp set is a two step-so I started with the outline and used Berry Burst, then I used the full flower stam
