Jingle Jingle Jingle FMS 551 Card

4 Comments September 4, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

The rain showed up today – so I took advantage of the weather and stayed inside to craft. Yay! Todays’ card was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketch (#FMS551). Since I will be featuring the very FUN Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set all week (an din an upcoming card class – details below) I thought I’d play with it today.

I used the brightest paper I had on hand – the holiday sheets from Celebrate Everything 12X12 DSP.

You can see exactly how I created this card by reading the printable card recipe below. All of the supplies I used to create today’s card are also listed below.

Adventure Camper Sale-a-bration Card

2 Comments July 27, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Every Wednesday morning at 9am(-ish) Pacific Time I craft LIVE on FB and You Tube. If you didn’t catch my video this morning you can see the card I created below. It was created using the He’s All That stamp set and the incredibly cute Tree Lot Sale-a-bration dies. The card was inspired by the talented Elizabeth Price and a Freshly Made Sketches (FMS546) challenge.

I created the background by using Coastal Cabana ink with a Blending Brush and a circle template as a mask. Then I roughed up the edges using the edge of my paper snips. Finally I splattered the whole piece with Wink of Stella and White Ink. Then I set it aside to dry while I created the tree and camper elements.

You can see exactly how I created this card in this video replay. All of the supplies I used to create today’s card are listed below.

Happiness Abounds Sale-a-bration Card

Leave a comment July 20, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Every Wednesday morning at 9am(-ish) Pacific Time I craft LIVE on FB and You Tube. If you didn’t catch my video this morning you can see the card I created below. It was created using the Happiness abounds Bundle and the versatile Silver & Gold 6X6 Sale-a-bration DSP.

I created the background by colouring the Silver & Gold DSP with Orchid Oasis and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Combos. I actually coloured one large piece of DSP and then cut it into 3/4″ strips, flipping some of them before gluing them.

You can see exactly how I created this card in this video replay. All of the supplies I used to create today’s card are listed below as well as a printable PDF tutorial card.

In the video I didn’t glue my first DSP strip correctly, so I had to add a 5th strip. Below you can see a version with the strips spaced the way I had intended. Creating the card this way you only need a 3″ X 4-1/2″ piece of DSP (which means you can actually make 2 cards from one piece of DSP). I used Orchid Oasis and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Combos to colour this one.

I also have a great Stamp Camp coming up at the end of the summer ( registration is open now) featuring the Joyful Flurry bundle.

Splendid Thoughts FMS# 544 – Sketch Challenge

1 Comment July 13, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Every Wednesday morning at 9am(-ish) Pacific Time I craft LIVE on FB and You Tube. If you didn’t catch my video this morning you can see the card I created below. It was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketch (FMS544)

This card was created with the Splendid Thoughts Bundle. I used Pool Party and Light Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends to colour the greenery and to create the background layer I used the Splendid Day DSP. I used Basic Gray ink to stamp the greenery outlines and the sentiment. There is even a subtle vellum die cut leaf in the background.

I love the sentiments in this stamp set. I chose the ‘Let’s Celebrate’ sentiment since it is versatile. I can now use this card for a birthday, wedding or other celebration.

Sweetest Cherries Cards

Leave a comment June 26, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

All week I have been crafting with the Sweetest Cherries stamp set. I actually have 2 new cards to share with you.

This first one was created in bright summery colours – Sweet Sorbet ( with Cherry Cobbler along the edges of the cherries), paired with Early espresso and Crumb Cake to create a basket feel.

The second card was created using deep, rich Merry Merlot to create more of a black cherry feeling. I love that this set can be playful, subtle, or crisp depending on the colours you use to craft the cherries.

Earlier this week I created to other very different feeling cards.

If you are loving these cherries as much as I am – you should consider joining my Monthly Card Club ASAP. I am featuring the Sweetest Cherries bundle – deadline to join is July 10th.

Don’t forget that we also have 2 great sales happening right now (until June 30th only) – you’ll want to go to my shop to check out all the details.

I have another perk to ordering with me in the month of June- any order over $65cdn, I am also emailing out an amazing 37 card Tutorial Bundle. Just use the host code below.
