Hippest Hippos SAB Card

Leave a comment August 30, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Every Wednesday morning at 9am(-ish) Pacific Time I craft LIVE on FB and You Tube. This week I am unfortunately needing to go to work – so I went live on Tuesday morning instead. If you didn’t catch my video this morning you can see the card I created below. It was created using the (soon to be gone) Sale-a-bration Hippest Hippos stamp set, Hippo Dies and the Silver & Gold DSP.

I love this colour combo and you can find it ( plus some Pacific Point) in the Fine Sparkle Gems pack. This card is extra special too because it is a 2 for one card. You get a space to write and a smaller space for a gift card. Below is an image of the inside of the card.

I learned this great fun fold at my team meeting this past weekend. I love having a great team of crafters to share ideas with. If you are also looking for a crafting community, contact me to join my team (the Ink Pad Pals).

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

You can place an order by contacting me directly or clicking on the image(s) below.

Celebrate Sunflowers Double Pocket Card

Leave a comment April 27, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Every Wednesday morning I go live on FB and You Tube to create something using the Stampin’ Up! product that I am featuring that week. Today I focused on the beautiful Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and Sunflower Dies. The base of the card is made from the Heart & Home 12X12 DSP found in the Stampin’ Up! Jan – June 2022 Mini Catalogue.

The card base is actually made of DSP and is folded in such a way that it creates a sturdy card with 2 pockets. I put a Tailor Made Tag in the front pouch and plan to use the inside one for a gift card.

Check out my video below to find out how I created this Double Pocket Card. I learned this fold from a 2012 Patty Bennett video – this fold is an oldie, but a goodie. I also have a supply list below.

If you enjoyed this video, please leave a comment below and share the video with fellow stampers. Thanks!

March 2022 Online Workshop Cards

Leave a comment March 12, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This month for my FREE Online Workshop I am playing around with a fun technique I learned from watching Melody Hyde.

It is a way to use decorative masks with a water spritzer to add some detail to solid stamps. So fun! Grab some ink, decorative masks, water spritzer and paper towel and start creating with me.

This weekend only ( until Monday, March 14 – 5pm pacific time) I am offering a door prize draw and ordering special. If you live in Canada and place a $60 order using my host code you will also receive the make’n’take packet to make these 3 cards and a free pack of spritzers. Shop here: https://www.stampinup.ca?hostcode=RA9VCDQ9

My door prize draw to win these 3 cards that I created will take place Monday evening. Enter here!

I created 3 different cards using this fun technique.

For the first two I stamped solid images using the Hello Beautiful stamps.

For the Daffodil Delight card I created a template using the hexagons from the Beautiful Shapes dies then applied my ink pad directly to the card layer.

Once I had my solid images stamped, I cover the layer with a decorative mask, spritzed with water, dabbed off the excess with a paper towel and set aside to dry.

The key to this technique is using Shimmery White Paper instead of regular card stock. Watch my video below to see how I spritzed the layers to achieve the fun patterns.

If you enjoyed this video, please leave a comment below and share the video with fellow stampers. Thanks!

The dimensions for the card pieces are:

Thick Basic White card base – 5-1/2″ X 8-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″

Shimmery White Cardstock – 4-1/2″ X 3-1/2″

Basic Black Cardstock – size dependent on the label you will be die cutting

This card is a very fun fold, perfect for showing off DSP. Here is what it looks like all opened up. See below for dimensions and a video of how I created the card.

The dimensions for the card pieces are:

Night of Navy card base – 5-1/2″ X 4-1/4″

Waves of the Ocean DSP – 5-1/4″ X 11″, scored at 1-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/4″ and 7″

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #381 – Colour Challenge

2 Comments January 25, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge is an awesome Colour Challenge. Take a look at all the beautiful cards created by our design team and then join the challenge.

I used the Flowering Tulips Bundle and a great gift card holder design by Erica Cerwin.

To create the basic card base I used Petal Pink Cardstock: 5-1/2″ X 11″, score the long side at 3-3/8″ from each end, then cut out the top corners leaving a 3″ tall door at the bottom.

Next I die cut the tulip petals out of Petal Pink and Basic White cardstock and used a Blending Brush to add Pumpkin Pie Ink to the flowers.

I put the tulip petal pieces together using Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots. I stamped some stems using Soft Sea Foam on a 2″ X 3-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock and attached the tulips above them.

The tulips and the sentiment were attached to the front flap using Dimensionals. The Basic White rectangle, DSP layer and the blank cardstock to write on were attached with Tear and Tape afterwards so they could be lined up to create a border around the tulips.

When I attached the cloud layer I used Tear and Tape around the edges only to create a pocket for a gift card.

The finished card fits nicely in a regular Medium Basic White Envelope and perfectly hides the gift card inside.

All of the supplies I used are listed below. You can place an order by contacting me directly or clicking on the image(s) below.

Petal Pink 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock $12.00	Basic White 8 1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock $13.25	Flowering Fields 12” X 12” (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper $15.75	Flowering Tulips Bundle (English) $72.00	Scalloped Contours Dies $48.00

Catching Butterflies – Sale-a-bration Gift Card Holder

Leave a comment January 23, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Sale-a-bration is the BEST time of year since you can earn FREE stamp sets and Designer Series Paper ( DSP) with every purchase of $60CAD (subtotal). This season the selection of stamps and DSP are sooo cute!

Today I created using the FREE sale-a-bration item Catching Butterflies stamp set.

Here are the dimensions of the materials I used. See the video for exactly how to cut and assemble.

Pool Party Cardstock: 5-1/2″ X 11″, score the long side at 3-3/8″ from each end. (then see video for how to cut the barn doors)

Pool Party Stitched Rectangle : 3″ X 4-3/8″

Pool Party pocket: 4″ X 3″ (die cut with basic borders clouds)

Heart & Home DSP (woodgrain): 4″ X 5-1/4″

Heart & Home DSP (green leaves): (x2) 2-3/4″ X 3-1/8″

Basic White Stitched Rectangles: (X2) 2-1/4″ X 3-5/8″

Basic White scrap to stamp girl with net

The Butterfly layer and the girl were attached to the front flap using Dimensionals. The Pool party REctangle and the sentiment layer were attached with Tear and Tape afterwards so they could be lined up to create a border aroudn the girl and butterflies.

When I attached the cloud layer I used Tear and Tape around the edges only to create a pocket for a gift card.

The finished card fits nicely in a regular Medium Basic White Envelope and perfectly hides the gift card inside.

To see all the details of these cards you can watch my video below.
