🐾 GDP499: Animal Theme Challenge

Leave a comment June 3, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Global Design Project theme is all about animals, and I couldn’t resist reaching for the Along These Lines stamp set. The relaxed pose of the tiger really spoke to me, and I loved pairing it with one of my favourite sentiment sets—Beautiful Butterflies. They’re a perfect match for a card meant to lift someone up.

Here’s the card I created:

🧡 Project Details

Stamp Sets: Along These Lines (tiger), Beautiful Butterflies (sentiment)
Ink: Memento Black
Cardstock: Timid Tiger, Coastal Cabana, Secret Sea, and Basic White
Embellishments: 2025–2027 In Color Shimmer Gems
Embossing Folder: So Swirly Embossing Folder

The tiger and sentiment are stamped in Memento Black on Timid Tiger and Coastal Cabana strips. I layered those on a Secret Sea card base with white embossed panels above and below. This layout gives a grounded look while letting the sentiment really shine.

💬 What I Love About This Card

This design feels like a warm hug. The tiger’s posture is calm and supportive, and the sentiment—“In case you need me… I’m here”—is such a beautiful reminder of connection. The gentle contrast of colours keeps the card soft, not stark.

And honestly, how fun is it to use Timid Tiger cardstock for a tiger stamp?!

✂️ Tips for Recreating This Look

Try different colour combos with the same layout—Soft Sea Foam or Bubble Bath could totally change the vibe!
Use a stamping platform to help line up your sentiment perfectly across layered cardstock.
Emboss your background panels first, then trim them to size so you can adjust for even spacing.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match stamp sets—sentiments from one set can beautifully complement the images from another.

Festive Friday: Sweet Jar + Peppermint Dots Christmas Card

Leave a comment May 30, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Happy Festive Friday, friends!

Today’s project is bursting with charm and sweetness thanks to the Sweet Jar bundle, one of my new favourites. I filled the stamped jar with Real Red hearts and peppermint candies and layered it over a bold print from the Take a Bow 6×6 Designer Series Paper—which is retiring soon, so grab it before it’s gone!

To give the layout some balance and polish, I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to create crisp stitched circles behind the jar and sentiment. The sentiment comes from mixing the a sentiment from the Sweet Jar stamp set with the classic Greetings of the Season stamp set.

But the real magic? That Secret Sea ink and thin trim of cardstock—just enough to cool down all that red and make everything pop. It’s my new go-to neutral and I’m obsessed!

The Adhesive-Backed Peppermint Dots and a simple bow of Real Red & White Baker’s Twine complete the look with a playful, candy-cane twist.

Throwback Thursday – Saying Goodbye with ‘Welcome to the Team’

Leave a comment May 29, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

As the school year winds down, it’s time to reflect, appreciate, and sometimes say goodbye. This week’s Throwback Thursday card is dedicated to those bittersweet farewells—to staff moving on to new schools and new roles.

I pulled out a retired gem: Welcome to the Team, one of my favourite sentiment sets for coworkers and colleagues. It was the perfect pairing for the bright, cheerful designs in the Full of Life 6×6 Designer Series Paper (a current Stampin’ Up! product!) and some subtle sparkle from Iridescent Faceted Gems.

🖤 Card Details:

Image & Sentiment stamped in Secret Sea Ink – it’s quickly become my go-to neutral!
The coffee mug was coloured with Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends
I stamped the image again on a stitched Stylish Shapes circle, then fussy cut and popped the mug up on dimensionals
Finished off with coordinating DSP and a trio of Iridescent Faceted Gems

It’s a clean, modern, and heartfelt card—great for staff farewells, team transitions, or even just a note of appreciation to a hardworking friend.

✂️ Creative Tip:

Fussy cutting and layering stamped images over the same design creates easy depth and dimension, especially when using alcohol markers for vibrant colouring.

Sweet Jar Birthday Card – HSS464 Sketch Challenge

Leave a comment May 27, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge is a sketch challenge (HSS464) and I’m excited to share my interpretation using some of the newest and sweetest products from Stampin’ Up!

I’ve used the Sweet Jar bundle along with the Florals in Bloom 12×12 Designer Series Paper to create a playful birthday card full of charm—and hearts!

Here’s my design for the challenge:

🌸 Project Details:

Card base: Secret Sea cardstock (8½” x 5½”, scored at 4¼”)
DSP strips: I layered two coordinating pieces from the Florals in Bloom DSP—one vertical strip with a bold Strawberry Slush cross pattern and a shorter Cloud Cover stripe across the jar for visual balance.
Jar & hearts: I stamped the jar outline in Secret Sea and filled it with layered heart stamps in Strawberry Slush full strength and 2nd generation inks. The lid was also stamped in Sweet Sorbet. Both parts were punched out using the coordinating punch.
Sentiment: “Happy Birthday” is stamped in Secret Sea on a stitched banner die-cut (from the Stylish Shapes dies).
Embellishments: I finished the card with three Strawberry Slush 2025–2027 In Color Flat Pearls, adding the perfect pop of coordinating colour.

The circle, banner and jar are mounted with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give that fun layered look that really makes the jar pop!

Here is a full list of the supplies I used:

Festive Friday: Humble Home + Peppermint Dots Christmas Card

Leave a comment May 23, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Happy Festive Friday, friends!

This week’s handmade Christmas card is all about sweet details and versatile layouts. I used the Humble Home stamp set and punch to create the cutest gingerbread house focal point, accented with Adhesive-Backed Peppermint Dots for a fun holiday pop.

The Take a Bow 6×6 Designer Series Paper—a retiring favourite on the Last Chance List—adds a joyful mix of stripes and polka dots. I tied everything together with a bow of White 1/4″ Ribbon for that finishing touch.

✅ This layout is a repeat of yesterday’s Throwback Thursday—because when a design works, I say use it again!
✅ Great for batch card-making during the holidays.

Throwback Thursday: Fussy-Cut Fun with Playful Pets DSP

Leave a comment May 22, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Throwback Thursday project is all about celebrating a classic favourite—Playful Pets Designer Series Paper! I absolutely love when a paper pack offers more than just backgrounds, and this one delivers with adorable images perfect for fussy cutting.

🐶 The Card Details:

For this card, I kept the layout playful and clean, letting that sweet pup be the star. Here’s what I used:

Playful Pets DSP (retired) – the dog image is fussy cut right from the paper!
Basic White & Real Red cardstock – bright and bold to match the playful vibe
Stylish Shapes Dies – I used these for both the stitched circle and the sentiment banner
Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder – to add texture to the background circle
Black Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack – tied in a simple bow
Neutral Matte Dots – for a pop of contrast and balance

I love how the paws and hearts on the background DSP panel playfully frame the focal point while the corrugated embossing adds subtle dimension. 🐾❤️

💬 Creative Tip:

When a DSP pack includes images that can be fussy cut, you essentially get an extra set of embellishments or die-cuts for free! It’s such a great way to get more out of your supplies.

Beyond the Box: Alternate May 2025 Paper Pumpkin Cards – Mountain Majesties

Leave a comment May 21, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

If you loved the May 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit, you’re going to love these three alternative card ideas! Today I’m sharing how I used leftover pieces from the kit—along with the Hugs Abloom add-on dies introduced last month—to create masculine cards perfect for birthdays, Father’s Day, and more.

👉 🎥 Watch the replay here:

Here’s are my alternative cards:

🎨 Alternative Card 1: Reflected Wilderness

This card pairs a serene lake scene with deep blue layers for a nature-inspired masculine birthday card. I cut apart one of the original card bases and added it to a crisp white, then stamped the bird image across both panels for balance. The Happy Birthday sentiment is stamped and die-cut using the Hugs Abloom add-on dies. Finally, I embellished the card with Neutral Matte Dots.

💡 Tip: Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up your sentiment for extra depth.

🌿 Alternative Card 2: Rolling Hills Landscape

This soft and serene design came together with extra pieces from the kit. I used one of the pre-printed sky and rolling hills panels and stamped birds and a birthday greeting using Misty Moonlight ink. Then I emebllished with Neutral Matte Dots.

⛰ Alternative Card 3: Earth Tone Layers for a Wonderful Man

This card features a pre-printed landscape layer in warm neutrals and cool blues for a striking scenic look. The sentiment “To a wonderful man” was cut using the stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes die set. Finally the card was embellished with Neutral Matte Dots.

💡 Perfect for: Father’s Day, masculine birthday cards, or even a retirement card!

These cards came together using only the leftover pieces from the May Paper Pumpkin kit, some cardstock and the exclusive Hugs Abloom coordinating dies. With a little creativity, you can extend the value of every kit and create cards that are personalized, heartfelt, and truly special. Here are the materials I used (note – the Misty Moonlight Ink is included in the Paper Pumpkin kit in ink spot format).

Product List

The coordinating Hugs Abloom Dies Add-On (Item #166238, $16.50 CAD) work with the April, May, and June kits—giving you even more creative options!

Global Design Project #497 – Colour Challenge

Leave a comment May 20, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I’m excited to be back with another entry for the Global Design Project, and this week is a colour challenge—one of my favourites! The combo of Strawberry Slush, Secret Sea, and Darling Duckling is such a cheerful, fresh palette that practically screams birthday fun! 🎉

For this week’s card, I reached for the adorable Sweet Jar Bundle. I love how versatile this set is—you can fill the jar with so many fun elements! This time I used birthday candles to create a playful birthday card that’s both bold and sweet. I placed the jar inside a die-cut circle on a Secret Sea panel, layered over a soft Strawberry Slush tones DSP piece. A few embellishments in coordinating colours and a stitched sentiment banner finish the card perfectly.

Here’s the card I created:

💖 What I Love About This Card:

The candles inside the jar feel so festive and unique—like a mini birthday celebration!
The bold contrast between the soft background and the crisp Secret Sea die-cut window really makes the jar pop
The punch makes assembly quick and simple—perfect for beginners or batch-making
This design works for birthdays of all ages

🛠️ Tips for Creating This Card:

Stamp the jar and candles first, then punch them out for crisp, clean edges
Pop up the punched jar with Stampin’ Dimensionals for added dimension
Switch up what you “fill” the jar with for seasonal or themed cards—so versatile!

Festive Friday: Winter Meadows Meets 2025 In Colors

Leave a comment May 16, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

For this week’s Festive Friday, I’m spotlighting the stunning Winter Meadows 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper along with the elegant Greetings of the Season stamp set. These cards came together effortlessly thanks to this beautifully illustrated paper—perfect for creating serene winter scenes without needing a lot of stamping.

I chose two of the new 2025 In Colors—Secret Sea and Cloud Cover—to complement the soft, cool tones in the paper. One card keeps it simple with a single stamped sentiment and a peaceful forest scene, while the other adds layers, dry embossing, and a sweet bow for added texture and charm.

Why I Love This Paper

The Winter Meadows DSP makes cardmaking quick and satisfying. The imagery is detailed enough to stand on its own, meaning you can let the paper shine and still end up with a beautiful result. It’s ideal for making multiples during the busy holiday season!

Product List:

If you’re looking to get a head start on your Christmas cards, give this combo a try! You’ll love how quickly your designs come together—and your recipients will love the cozy winter feel. ❄️🦌
