DAY 3 – STAMPIN THE RAINBOW

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

I will be live everyday this week ( Mar 14 – 20) at 10am (ish) to stamp with you. Each day I will be featuring a different colour and one great ordering special (see below). Today’s card is featuring the colours Crushed Curry and So Saffron, the Cute Fruit stamp set and the gorgeous Fine Art Floral DSP. I actually created 3 cards to show how we can step up our cards – go from simple stamping to slightly more avid.

The stamp set I am featuring is called Cute Fruit – it is found in the Beginner’s Brochure. The first card is just cardstock and ink – but I did use a masking technique ( you can watch the video below to see how).

To step it up I created the same card but added a DSP layer and some fussy cutting instead of masking.

Finally, we went a little bit further and added ribbon, embellishments and Dimensionals. Nothing too crazy – but all the small details make a huge difference.

Itty Bitty Mother’s Day Card

1 Comment March 9, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I LOVE finding new ways to create interesting backgrounds. This one was so simple. I just pressed a whole ink pad against my E block and then pressed the block onto my card base. Voila! Instant background. If you want to see this in action – check out the video below.

The rest of the card is a simple sentiment, some die cut butterflies from the AMAZING limited time only Butterfly Bijou 6X6 DSP and done! You can see a full list of supplies below.

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.
