Stampin' Up! Birthday Celebration Birthday Card

 Hey everyone!

Today is the perfect day to be tucked in my craft room creating.  It's been snowing and now the sun is shining, and I am glad to be inside now.

I received my preorder for the new mini catalogue and sale a bration.  My video today focused on the Wildflower Birthday 12x12 Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Birthday Celebration stamp set.

So let me tell you a little bit about the dsp.  It has lovely colours of flowers, birthday cakes, and balloon images and some gold embossing also.  There are also 2 pages of bigger images you could cut out to be complete card fronts or tags AND 2 pages of various die cuts-from flowers, balloons and banners to greenery and cakes.  

This card and layout are very easy to duplicate and still make a great card!.

Stamping was completed first, a sentiment for both the inside of the card and also for the front.  I used Soft Sea Foam ink and the Birthday Celebration offerings.

Next I added a small strip of dsp to the inside to finish that off and then concentrated on the front.  The two pieces of dsp were adhered using Stampin' Seal onto the cardfront.  After adhering the cake image to the small piece of Basic White (which is stamped with the sentiment), I added dimensionals to the back of the white piece and placed onto the cardfront.  

Finishing touches are using some of the Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (my free sale a bration item) onto the card front.

Super Simple with plenty of room to "step up" the design if wanted.

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,...
