Welcome back to Festive Friday! This week’s card is a special one—it’s my first card post-surgery, and I’m so happy to be back crafting!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Card Base: Cut a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock to 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2”.

Add Designer Series Paper: Cut a 4-1/4″ X 2-1/4″strip of Regal Distressed Pattern DSP (Cherry Cobbler and gold grid) and adhere it across the center of the embossed layer.
Add Ribbon: Wrap a piece of gold trim and make a bow on the left side for a touch of elegance and then secure the whole layer to the card base.
Die-Cut the Label: Using the Christmas Labels Dies, cut a decorative label from Basic White cardstock.
Stamp the Sentiment: In Cherry Cobbler ink, stamp a holiday sentiment from the Christmas Labels Stamp Set onto the label. Attach this label to the right side of the card front using Dimenisonals.

Festive Friday Week 2 – Featuring the Iconic Imagery Bundle!

Leave a comment January 17, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Happy Friday, friends! I’m so excited to share my second Festive Friday creation with you. This series is part of my crafting goals for 2025: to create one Christmas card every week and keep the holiday spirit alive year-round. It’s been such a joy to embrace this challenge and spark inspiration for Christmas crafting early in the year.

This week’s card spotlights the Iconic Imagery Stamp Set and Dies Bundle, and the Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper (DSP). These products are a dream for creating timeless designs with a touch of elegance. Let’s dive into the details of this project!

The Card Design

For this card, I wanted to showcase the versatility of the Iconic Imagery Bundle. The layered DSP creates depth and adds a beautiful contrast between the soft pinks and vibrant greens. The stamped images are simple yet striking, perfectly complementing the patterns in the DSP.

Here are some of the key features of this card:

Background Stamping: I used the foliage stamps from the Iconic Imagery set to add subtle details to the green card base, creating a cohesive look.
Layered DSP: The Designer Series Paper adds so much interest with its mix of classic Christmas motifs. The pink tree pattern is one of my favorites, offering a fresh take on holiday colors.
Focal Point: The “Celebrate the Season” sentiment is fussy-cut and layered on a stitched circle, accented with stamped greenery and Adhesive-backed Pearl Trio “berries” for a polished finish.

This design is perfect for mass-producing Christmas cards or as a one-of-a-kind creation for someone special!

Supplies Used

Here’s what I used to create this card:

Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [159229] $15.50	Mossy Meadow 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [133676] $15.75	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276] $18.00	Iconic Celebrations 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [164193] $17.00	Stylish Shapes Dies [159183] $41.00
Iconic Imagery Bundle (English) [164201] $54.00	Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin' Pad [147111] $12.25	Moody Mauve Classic Stampin' Pad [161649] $12.25	Adhesive Backed Pearl Trio [163319] $10.25	Paper Snips [103579] $16.50
Multipurpose Liquid Glue [110755] $8.25	Mini Stampin' Dimensionals [144108] $6.00	Basic White Medium Envelopes [159236] $15.00

Add All to Cart

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Your Base: Start with a Thick Basic White card base. Cut it to 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” and score at 4-1/4”. Stamp the foliage images randomly across the background in Mossy Meadows ink.
Layer the DSP: Cut pieces of the Iconic Imagery DSP to 3” x 4” and 2” x 4”. Layer them on the card base, slightly offset for added dimension.
Create the Sentiment: Stamp “Celebrate the Season” in Rich Razzleberry ink on Basic White cardstock. Die-cut the sentiment and a stitched circle using the Iconic Imagery Dies. Stamp greenery and berries on the circle for a decorative touch.
Assemble the Card: Adhere the stitched circle and sentiment to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few adhesive-backed pearls to the berries for added detail.
Finishing Touches: Double-check your card for balance and alignment, and it’s ready to go!

Why I Love the Iconic Imagery Bundle

This bundle is perfect for crafters who love timeless designs and versatile products. Whether you’re creating cards, tags, or scrapbook layouts, the stamps and dies in this set are endlessly inspiring. Plus, the DSP’s mix of traditional and modern patterns makes it a must-have for holiday crafting.

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop: December 2024 Sketch Challenge Card

Leave a comment December 14, 2024 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Hello, stamping friends! I’m thrilled to join you for another exciting Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop. This hop consistently takes place on the 14th of every month, making it a regular date for creativity and inspiration. This month, the theme is all about a sketch challenge that inspires us to think outside the box and create something uniquely our own.

If you’re new here, welcome to Stampin With Leah! I’m Leah, an avid Stampin’ Up! demonstrator passionate about bringing creativity and inspiration to your crafting journey. Let’s jump into the details of this month’s project and explore how you can interpret a sketch to design stunning cards.

Working with the Sketch

Sketch challenges are a fantastic way to kickstart your creativity. They provide a layout framework while allowing endless customization to suit your style. For this hop, I used the provided sketch to guide my design process, blending clean lines, subtle colors, and a touch of sparkle to bring the layout to life.

Here’s how I brought the design to life:

Materials:

Cardstock: Basic White and Thick Basic White
Ink Pads: Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel, Boho Blue
Stamps and Dies: Snowflake image, sentiment, and dies from the Iconic Imagery Bundle
Stylish Shapes Dies: Smallest square for stitched diamonds
Adhesive: Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue
Embellishments: Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Instructions:

Base Layer: Start with an A2 card base (5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, scored at 4-1/4”) in Thick Basic White and a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer to create on.

Focal Elements: Die-cut three stitched diamond shapes from Basic White cardstock using the smallest square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Stamp snowflake designs one in Balmy Blue, one in Blueberry Bushel, and one in Boho Blue. Die cut the images and attach to the squares using Dimensionals for added depth. Arrange the diamonds in a cluster at the center of the 4″ X 5-1/4″ Basic White layer, adhering with Liquid Glue.

Sentiment: Stamp the “Celebrate the Season” sentiment in Blueberry Bushel directly onto the card front, slightly offset below the snowflake cluster to follow the sketch’s layout. Once all the stamping is done, use Dimensionals to adhere the layer tot he card base.

Finishing Touches: Add Rhinestone Basic Jewels around the snowflakes and sentiment for a touch of sparkle and elegance.

Tips for Success

Keep It Clean: A clean design lets the sketch shine while emphasizing the stamped details.
Play with Placement: Arrange your elements to create balance and harmony within the sketch framework.
Add Subtle Sparkle: Rhinestones are perfect for adding a festive touch without overpowering the design.

Use Balmy Blue, Boho Blue and Misty Moonlight Inks to stamp snowflakes and swirls all over a 4″ X 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White. I usually start with the largest snowflakes in the lightest colours and then stamp smaller and darker to fill the gaps.
Glue the stamped layer to the Night of Navy card base (5-1/2″ X 8-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″).
Die cut the Christmas Labels die in Night of Navy CS and Basic White CS.
Stamp sentiment on the Basic White label using Night of Navy Ink.
Use snips to cut the swirls off the sentiment label. Then glue the white sentiment onto the Night of Navy label. Adhere to the card front using Dimensionals.
Embellish with Iridescent Faceted Gems.
