Love of Leaves – 1 card 3 ways

Leave a comment September 22, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I had a great time this morning creating a simple card and then slowly making it more detailed and interesting.

I truly love all 3 cards ( I am a sucker for a good simple stamping card – the busy mom that I am I NEED fast a beautiful cards to create).

Here are the three levels of creation. From Beginner, to casual crafter, to avid crafter.

2 inks, 2 cardstock and some adhesive – simple as can be!

Same card – but add some sponging and an embellishment.

Final version I added some die cutting and some heat embossing.

I simply adore the Love of Leaves bundle. The stitching is such an easy thing to add to the cards and makes a huge impact on the look of a card. You can see the video of how I created these cards on my FB page.

Nothing’s Better Than

3 Comments September 2, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Some of you may know that in my non-stampin’ life I am a mom of many and a grade 2/3 teacher. This coming week is going to be HARD. So I thought I’d relax myself with some stamping and bring a bit of cheer to my colleagues. I will likely make this card in many forms – most of my staff has coffee as a vice.

You can check out the full video on how I made this card on my You Tube channel or on my FB page. The basic inspiration for this card came from a sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches. If you ever need quick inspiration this is my go to place. #FMS451

I wish you all a safe (and cookie filled) first week back to school.

Good Evening!! I am popping in here to share with you three cards that I created for an Online Workshop this weekend. I highlighted some great sets from the new Aug – Dec Catalogue. I travelled through the holidays – Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas.

My favourite time of year is Autumn and Thanskgiving, so I started with an autumn Love of Leaves card. This card was created using a sketch from TGIF Challenges. #tgifc278

Next up a card case from the US demo Melissa Miller using Celebration Tidings. Such a fun and quick card!

Finally some silver bells using the Sounds of the Season dies. This card was created for this workshop and for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I adore using sketches to create.

For more details about the cards I created you can check out my video in my Online Stampin Workshop group or scroll down for a full shopping list for each card.

Happy Stampin!

Celebration Tidings Card

Thanks for joining me today to see my newest card creation. This thankfulness card was created as a head start on some back to school and Thanksgiving cards I know I will need as well as for this week’s TGIF Challenge.

This set is very easy to work with and the All the Trimming embellishments are so versatile since you can colour the white dots ANY blends colour you want!

To see how I made this card you can check out my FB Live or my You Tube video.

Happy Stampin’!

Gather Together card

3 Comments August 17, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Today’s card was created for a dual purpose – I am planning for an upcoming Gather Together card class ( watch for details about the date and time – a tutorial will be available for those outside of Canada) and I was creating for the weekly Freshly Made sketch challenge ( a little later than I usually get around to it, but I was busy at a Creative Convention online last weekend).

The only real “trick” to this card is the wood grain In Good Taste DSP. I cut a 4″X 4″ square and then cut it by lining up my top corners at the 1″ and 1-3/4″ markers on my cutting board – this achieves the diagonal. If you want to know more – keep an eye out for my upcoming class – or subscribe to my newsletter to always stay in the loop.

West Coast Creators Blog Hop – Christmas Means More Card

5 Comments August 14, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This festive card was created for the West Coast Creators Blog Hop ~ August! I used Shimmery Embossing Paste to create a gorgeous textured background and then let the sentiment from the Christmas Means More stamp set speak for itself.

I actually created most of this card live on FB while waiting for the paste on another card to dry. You can check it out on my FB page or on You Tube.

Embossing Paste – Ombre Card

Leave a comment August 13, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Embossing paste is a fabulous way to create a textured and gorgeous card. You can use it as is or add some ink to it like I did on this card. Check out my video on how I created this card on my FB page or on You Tube.

Forever Gold Specialty DSP

3 Comments August 7, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I created this card for the Freshly Made Sketch challenge this week. I love how the Forever Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper made this quick and simple card look so elegant and detailed.

I used the thank you from the Simply Citrus Card kit – but you could use any sentiment that fits in the 1-1/2″ X 2-1/4″ rectangle space.

Happy Stampin’!
