Today’s card was created with the colour challenge from Handstamped Sentiments in mind. I also wanted to highlight some of the soon to be retiring product and some items that are on sale right now. The list is huge right now! Here is a visual pdf or go to my last blog entry for clickable images.

I love these ornaments and how quickly you can create beautiful images. Using the Wink of Stella to carry the ink colour also creates some amazing looking ornaments.

This Buffalo Check stamp set creates the best Christmas cards ( and cards for other seasons of course).

I love how I can create a bunch of these backgrounds and then cut them up for various cards. Each colour creates a different feel as well.

Maybe I can even find a way to make a Valentine’s card with this set. Hmmm…

Anyways, you can see how I made this card in my You Tube video below or on my FB page.

Here is a close up view of the Wink of Stella on the glass and decanter. Such a great touch!

If you follow my blog or Facebook page you will know that i am a HUGE fan of using sketches to design. Today’s card was made using a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I wanted to add details, but still keep it simple. I think the detail that makes this card is the wink of stella added to the decanter and glass. I just love how it adds a shine to everything it touches!!

The dimensions for this card are standard base (8.5″X5.5″, scored at 4.25″) then a layer of DSP ( 5-3/8″ X 4-1/8″). The banner is 3″ by 4.5″. To make the v at the bottom I marked aspot that was 1.5″ across and .75″ up the banner and then used snips to cut tot he point. The whiskey itself was created by highlighting with light Cinnamon Cider blends and then blending it with light Mango melody blends.

For a full list of supplies, see below.

Happy Stamping!

Painted Poppies

Leave a comment November 3, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week I will be spending a lot of time chatting with my Grade 2/3 class about Remembrance Day, planting our own Poppies in our school garden and we will be creating our own Poppy art in class. So I thought I’d spend my Stampin’ week focussing on Stampin’ Up!’s gorgeous Painted Poppies set. Today’s card is created using the Painted Poppies stamp set and a lot of fussy cutting (there are dies available- I just wanted a closer cut).I also heat embossed and then dry embossed the background.

More Paper Pumpkin Alternatives – Oct 2020 Joy To The World

4 Comments October 25, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I have two more Paper pumpkin Alternatives for you today. The first one was inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #350. (#HSSSC350)

I added a Crumb Cake cardstock base and stamped Joy using Crumb cake ink all over the background. Then I layered a Cherry Cobbler cardstock piece that was the same size as the larger white embossed piece from the Paper Pumpkin kit ( which was the next layer). Finally I added some vellum cardstock sprigs, the wreath from the kit, the gold foil “Joy” from the kit and some Holiday Rhinestones.

Product List

120953 $12.00	119685 $12.00	147116 $10.25	101856 $13.50	148012 $24.00
150457 $8.25	137858 $28.00

My last alternative for today was a take on an alternative presented in the kit.

I used a piece of Just Jade cardstock. 8.5″ X 5.5″ ( scored at 4.25″) and then I embossed another layer of Just Jade cardstock (4″X 5.25″) using the Tasteful Textiles embossing folder. Next I stamped the wreath image using Just Jade (stamped off) and Cherry Cobbler berries ( stamped off) on a 3″X3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Then I stamped the sentiment using Early Espresso ink. I layered the wreath on a tilted piece of Soft Seafoam cardstock ( 3″X 3″). I attached those pieces to the card base using dimensionals. Finally I tied a bow using Braided Linen Trim and attached it to the wreath using a mini dimensional.

Product List

153079 $12.00	146988 $12.00	100730 $13.25	153115 $10.25	147083 $10.25
147114 $10.25	147808 $9.50	152718 $12.25	137858 $28.00

I hope you enjoyed these Paper Pumpkin alternatives.

If you missed out on the October kit – make sure to grab the November Jolly Gingerbread kit. You can order yours by clicking the image below. You have until Nov. 10, 2020 to get this kit!

It looks so fun and who doesn’t need gift card holders for this upcoming holiday season. The pieces can also be used to create gift tags or as card candy.
