Itty Bitty Easter Bunny Card

2 Comments March 8, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

The Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set is the purpose ALL occasions stamp set. You can pair it up with MANY other sets and images to create the perfect card. On this card I paired up the bunnies from Wildly Happy (a set I use a lot for baby cards) with the Easter Greetings from Itty Bitty greetings. Voila! An Easter card without having to buy a stamp set exclusive to one holiday.

There are so many sentiments in this set that they actually send it to you in 2 boxes!

Hello! Kangaroo & Company Card

6 Comments March 6, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I LOVE this Kangaroo & Company stamp set and die bundle – the kangas are so sweet! However, today’s card shows how you can use the other element sin the set to make fun creations as well. I am going to be mailing out some random hello cards to friends, family and customers soon – so here is one of the cards I’ll be sending.

The layout for this card was inspired by one of my favourite sketch sites – Freshly Made Sketches ( FMS475).

To start I stamped the cute envelope on the Thick Basic White background using Smoky Slate ink. Then I used Blending brushes to apply Magenta Madness ink (on the left) and Balmy Blue ink (on the left) to a Basic White shape cut using the largest die in the Stitched So Sweetly set. As I applied the ink I covered 2/3 of the shape with each colour – creating the Misty Moonlight – ish colour in the center. I then used the matching inks to stamps the hearts. I used the matching inks to colour the hearts on the envelopes and to ink JUST the hello on the Hello Baby stamp. I wrapped twine around the scallop shape and tied a bow on the right. Then I put everything together with Dimensionals. A fairly quick card with a soft but stunning look.

Kangaroo & Company Baby Card

Leave a comment March 2, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I had so much fun creating this baby card – I can’t wait to send it to my cousin and his wife when their little bundle arrives in April!

I used a mask to create the background ( you can see it in action in the video below) so that I could show you again the possibilities with a mask. You actually get 4 free masks with the March Paper Pumpkin. Make sure to order yours before March 10th.

I also wanted to highlight the fact that the pouch is actually open on this Mama Kangaroo. So you can hide little messages in there.

I finished up the card by using two amazing embellishments ( the Holiday rhinestones and the soon to be retiring Pretty Peacock scalloped linen ribbon).

Here are all the supplies used to create this sweet little baby card.

Butterfly Brilliance – 1 card 3 ways

Leave a comment February 23, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Today’s cards are all created using the not yet released Butterfly Brilliance Collection by Stampin’ Up!

Customers will be able to order this collection as of March 2nd (the stamp set and dies will be available in the new Annual Catalogue on May 3rd however; the DSP and Specialty paper are only available while supplies last from March 2 – April 30)

The first card I created was designed with a beginner stamper in mind. I used only 2 inks, 3 cardstocks and some glue. And yet the result is stunning.

To step it up a notch, I used essentially the same stamping, however, I stamped the butterfly twice and fussy cut it out. I embellished with twine and rhinestones and attached most pieces with my favourite adhesive – Dimensionals!!

Aside from the Butterfly Brilliance Collection, here are the supplies used to make this card. You can order the Butterfly Collection March 2nd, or add it to your starter kit today (**until Feb 28th you’ll even get 5 free DSP packs in addition to all the other perks of the kit**).

159229 $11.25	153080 $12.00	131198 $12.00	153117 $10.25	132708 $8.25
154534 $29.00	154566 $9.50	151193 $8.25	104430 $5.50	110755 $5.50
107301 $10.25	103579 $13.50	152392 $34.00

For my 3rd version of this card I took it up a few notches for the avid stamper. I used the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to add detail to the Specialty Paper, cut a label out of DSP, and to cut the intricate butterfly. Of course, I topped it all off with a dash of Wink of Stella.

If you want to see the whole process in action you can view my video below ( please subscribe to my You Tube channel if you enjoy these videos – then you’ll never miss one!)

I am hosting a Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Camp with some other talented Canadian Demonstrators. You can see all the details of the camp here: https://stampinup.net/crm/events/91361

Basically if you purchase the Collection from me on March 2 – 6th using the host code: NP2DWBBP , you will automatically be registered for the Stamp Camp. We will be making 8 beautiful cards and there will be 4 Mystery Stamping activities as well.

February 2021 Paper pumpkin – Bouquet of Hope (and an alternative)

Leave a comment February 18, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This month’s Paper Pumpkin is great for sending some warm thoughts to loved ones. The vellum and gold laser cut paper add a very beautiful touch to the cards. Here is the unboxing video of this set.

The stamp set that comes with the kit is beautiful and coordinates nicely with the Flower and Field DSP in the Sale-a-bration offering.

Here is a quick and simple alternative card I created using the Flower and Field DSP.

If you are interested in getting the Flower and Field DSP that coordinates with this Paper Pumpkin, all you need to do is place a $60 order before Feb 28th. One great way to earn the DSP is to grab a prepaid paper pumpkin subscription.

Dragonfly Garden Mask

Leave a comment February 16, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Today’s card features the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and coordinating punch. I used the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks with Blending Brushes to create the background. These masks are similar to the masks and sponge available in the new March Paper Pumpkin.

You can also check out my Facebook Page all this week to see samples of other cards made using the Dragonfly Garden stamp set. If you love it, check out my Dragonfly Garden Card class – RSVP by Feb 20 https://stampinup.net/crm/events/89742

Here is my card for the Blog Hop. I used the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set and dies.

I used some soon to be retiring Terracotta Tile scalloped ribbon and pinched it in a bow with Linen Thread. The Happy Birthday die cut has adhesive sheet on the back to help it stick to the card easily and the vellum stitched circle creates a nice soft focus on the card. Scroll down to see the full product list.

Of course I also stamped the inside of the card – no naked cards (or envelopes)!

You can find the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set in the Jan-June Mini Catalogue, however the dies and the Hey Chick stamp set are “out of catalogue” offerings. So here are all the details. You can click the image to go directly to my shop for a closer look.

I can’t get enough of these chicks!! This weekend I held an online workshop (the live demo was at 9 am Saturday Feb 13th- you can click here to view it). The three cards I created all used the Hey Birthday Chick and Hey Chick bundles.

This first card was inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments Colour Challenge #357. The Snail Mail DSP was the perfect paper to accent this card.

Sweet Strawberry Shaker card

I had a request for a shaker card video from a previous student, so this week I gave it a go. I was pretty happy with the end result.

I actually shared a bunch of tips in the video about how to line up the Playful Alphabet dies, masking to create the strawberries and of course – how to create a shaker card.

Here is the video with all the details. If you enjoy the video – please subscribe to my blog and my you tube channel . Thanks!
