Stampin' Up! Book Binding Baby Card

Today's project is a super fun and easy fold that I seem to gravitate to often.  It is a great way to showcase your pretty papers and create beautiful cards.

This card was used for my club party gals, and I often like to shake it up a bit and give each of them different colours or dsp pieces-all from the same pack but different designs.  This gives you a better visual of all of the colour combinations you can use.  The first picture is of mine and then theirs.

I realized I hadn't made any baby cards for awhile and then had to dig into previous years stamp set as I didn't have a current one that was suitable.

So this is a book binding card, much like a regular card but a little extra design on the left hand side of the card which makes it unique.

The card base is scored in two spots, one is obviously the center of the card, the other is for the book fold.  Using the second score line as a guide, I stamped my sentiment on the inside of my card using Memento.  Then I adhered the ribbon to the space between the two score lines by running some adhesive on both sides, centered my ribbon and placed it in between the lines and pressed down firmly.  The two pieces of dsp were then adhered to the cardstock and then adhered to the card base.  Now you can tie your bow with your ribbon-I actually just tied in a knot.  Using Memento again, I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap piece of cardstock and punched using the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.  This is then popped up on dimensionals and centered on the cardfront.  Finishing off the card with a few of the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed dots and a small strip of dsp on the inside.  Such a nice design.

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,...
