Another Stampin' Up! Whimsy & Wonder Front Panel Gate Fold Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to end of November!
You may have found me via Rachel Woollard's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

I again, have another Front Panel Gate Fold Card to share this week. I have gone with a pink, wintry theme this time and again used the stunning whimsy and wonder speciality DSP. I have also used a hint of mint macaron cardstock, blushing bride cardstock and snowy white velvet sheets along with silver foil and delicate baubles dies. I typed my sentiment "May your season sparkle" and printed straight onto mint macaron cardstock. I also printed wording onto blushing bride cardstock and they line the side panels. 


Close up, shows the typed panel which reads "May your season sparkle" (same as the sentiment)


To write on the card, I have attached a panel on the backside and adhered a small portion of the snowflake die cut (that I used on the card front). If I feel I need more room to write, I will add more panels on the left and right hand sides. 


Up next we have Sharon Davern (who gifted me the measurements for today's card). I can't wait to see what she is sharing.

Stampin' Up! Whimsy & Wonder Front Panel Gate Fold Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to end of November!
You may have found me via Catherine Proctor's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For my card today I have made a Front Panel Gate Fold Card. Many thanks to fellow SU demo Sharon Davern for sharing the measurements with me. (You will see her lovely creations after as she has the master list for tonights blog hop).

I have used the stunning whimsy and wonder speciality DSP for my card today along with mint macaron cardstock and Christmas tree dies. I have kept the basic colour scheme very simple, just mint macaron, soft succulent, silver foil and a tiny pop of blushing bride.
I love that the pattern on the front and back of the DSP worked so beautifully with each other. It made whipping this card up very simple. To echo the trees on the white paper, I have used the Christmas tree dies on my centre panel. I typed my Merry Christmas sentiment as I didn't have a sentiment the right size and printed straight onto blushing bride cardstock.

To write on the card, I have attached a panel on the backside and adhered a tiny little tree as well. If I feel I need more room to write, I will add more panels on the left and right hand sizes.
Up next we have Rosa Leyden. I can't wait to see what she is sharing.

Stampin' Up! A Merry Hello Christmas Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to the end of November!
You may have found me via Catherine Proctor's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

I have the fourth and final card from the 6" x 6", one sheet wonder today. Again, the DSP is from Heartwarming Hugs and I have embossed the mossy meadow cardstock with the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder. I added my fussy cut/stampin' blend image on top of the gold foil/die cut image. The cut bird image and stamped sentiment (and the tree) are all from Be Jolly stamp set. For added visual interest I raised tree image up with stampin' dimensionals and of course I have also added in some rhinestone basic jewels. For those eagle eyed people, you may notice this card has a white matt as opposed to the others 3 cards (in previous weeks) all had black matts. I broke the rules of the one sheet wonder matt cutting and wanted to have my bird coloured in with stampin' blends and not have to fussy cut the legs out.

Stampin' Up! Be Jolly Christmas Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Caroline Manwaring's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

On Saturday I took part in a Facebook event with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators where we used a 6" x 6" one sheet wonder to make 4 cards. I used the template for the basis of my card today (and hope to use it for my cards for the next 3 weeks.) The strip of DSP is from Heartwarming Hugs and I have embossed the granny apple green cardstock with the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder. I added my fussy cut/stampin' blend images on top of the DSP and embossed cardstock. I used the messages die to die cut out the "be jolly sentiment".

Stampin' Up! Delicate Baubles Christmas Split Card Where I CASED Myself

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Andrea Sargent's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For my card tonight I have CASED a card I made a few weeks back. It is a split card featuring the delicate baubles die and I have used whimsy and wonder DSP this time. I have used a basic black die cut outline and filled it with mint macaron whimsy and wonder DSP, misty moonlight and so saffron cardstock. I added basic rhinestone jewels in the centre of the what I am calling, the star sparkles. The rest of the split panel card also features the whimsy and wonder DSP. The sentiment is typed on my computer and die cut out with the messages die.   


Side view


Inside card - I stamped a sentiment from Holly Jolly wishes so it wouldn't be seen when the card was closed and the tree is from Christmas tree dies

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Prints Pocket Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Sharon Davern's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

My card today is a CASE from fellow SU demo, Libby Fens in Canada. Her original design is a double pocket card but I have only made mine a single pocket today.
I have scored my DSP and adhered it to a real red card base, and then die cut out the layering circles dies from basic black cardstock and gold foil. They are adhered together and popped up with stampin' dimensionals. A reindeer has been fussy cut from the Peaceful Prints DSP and adhered onto the layered/scalloped circles. Stampin' Up! also sells a deer builder punch for $31 that coordinates perfectly with this DSP and a stamp set in the July - December mini catalogue but I don't own it (hence the fussy cutting). I have heat embossed a sentiment from Be Jolly sentiment and used stampin' dimensionals to pop that up as well at the bottom right of the card. Brushed metallic adhesive-baked dots have finished the pocket card off. You will notice, I have fussy cut out another reindeer and used it to decorate the insert. I have also used additional DSP to cover the back flap of the envelope.

Stampin' Up! Triple Point Birthday Card with Expressions In Ink DSP x 2

I was asked by a family friend to make a 50th birthday card earlier this month. I decided to make a triple point card because they look pretty wow and since I was making one, I thought I'd make another at the same time! When I was making them, in my head I had what I thought would be my favourite from them beginning but when I had finished both cards, I was surprised and I had changed my mind at what was my favourite. 
Please note, they both use retired dies (numbers 50 and Happy Birthday) and gold glitter paper but all other products used are current. 

Which one do you like best? The 50th card or the Happy Birthday card?


Close up - I love the texture of the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder on this card


Happy birthday card


Close up - I like that the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder (which is advertised in the July - December [Holiday] catalogue) looks fabulous with the Happy Birthday die cut

Stampin' Up! Gorgeous Leaves For You Card

Today, we have week 16 of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Kate Morgan's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, early espresso. 
I have chosen early esspresso, coastal cabana and garden green from the colour coach to work from this week. 
My card today was CASED from the July - December 2021 mini catalogue, page 70 ©2020 Stampin' Up!® or I have it shown just below.


I have stamped the leaves from gorgeous leaves stamp set in garden green and coastal cabana and die cut them out with intricate leaves dies. I also die cut out other leaf shapes in garden green, coastal cabana and cherry cobbler. Branches were cut in early espresso and a large maple shaped leaf in brushed metallic cardstock. Playful alphabet dies were die cut with foam adhesive sheets on the back so they would be popped up on the card. Remember when using fine die cuts, use adhesive sheets to make them easy to adhere in place. The brushed metallic adhesive backed dots were added as the finishing touch to the card front. 


Close up/side view


Inside card - The dotted stamp is stamped with the first impression stamped off on scrap paper and then the second on the basic white cardstock (so a lighter image appears). A stamped leaf and die cut finishes off the inside of the card.    


Up next we have Diane Furniss. I can't wait to see what she is sharing.
