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!

Below is the full list of supplies I used:

The bookmark base is 5-1/2″ X 2-1/2″, the front pocket is 3″ X 3″-1/4″ (score 1/4″ on 3 sides to fold in and tape down using tear and tape or seal + to create the pocket.

I used the soon to be retiring Frosted Gingerbread DSP, stamps and dies to create this bookmark – but you could go with any theme.

Memories & More Cards and Envelopes

Leave a comment April 27, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

The Flowers For Every Season Memories and More Cards and Envelopes are fabulous for creating quick and colourful cards. You get 10 cards and envelopes in the package ( 2 each of the 5 2020-2022 In Colours: Magenta madness, Just Jade, Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider and Bumblebee). There are two things I especially love about these cards – they have white linings on the cards and colourful linings on the envelopes. These two touches I think make a card very polished.

The card I created today uses primarily retiring products – the card base, DSP, ribbon and stamp set. Check out the links below to see the FABULOUS sale prices as well. Don’t wait – these are available while supplies last or until May3rd.

To see all the details of how I created this card you can check out my video. Please subscribe to my You Tube channel while you are there. Thanks!

Many of these products are on sale ( the sale prices are not reflected here on this blog). If you use the host code: BWWEEQGM I will also send you a fun mystery embellishment.

I created this card for my friend’s daughter who graduates from high school this year. I used a fun watercolour technique to create the colour strip and I embossed the images and sentiment with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. To see how I created the rainbow background check out my facebook live: https://fb.watch/4S98yKT4ZU/.Can you also spy the new product in this card?

Sweet Silhouette

1 Comment April 13, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

These beautiful (soon to be retiring) silhouette stamps and dies create quick and stunning cards.

The first card I created for the Spot Sketch Challenge #157. If you would like to see how I created the coloured background on the left check out my video below. I think this card could make a fabulous grad card or celebration of most life changes.

I then used some other pieces from this great bundle and some spare watercolour pieces ( because I never paint just one paper at a time!) to create a variation of this card.

The Sweet Silhouette dies and Silhouette Scenes stamp set will no longer be available after May 3rd. So if you love these grab them now! You can use the host code: BWWEEQGM, any order over $60 using this code will receive a little something special from me as a thank you.

Wildly Happy Baby Card

3 Comments April 6, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I LOVE having a reason to create and when I created this card I actually had 3 reasons to make it!

Most importantly – my cousin and his wife just welcomed their first child into the world – Welcome Harriet Batchelor!

Secondly I wanted to participate in two different challenges. The Global Design Project (#GDP286) and the Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge (#HSSIC361).

My third reason to create this card was to highlight some of our soon to be retiring products from Stampin Up! I don’t want to miss out on a minute of playing with some of my favourite supplies. I also don’t want you to miss out on grabbing these while you still can! See below for a full list of supplies used ( and click the links to purchase – some even have sale pricing right now!)

For all the details on how I created this card check out my video below or pop over to my Facebook page. Will you are there, make sure to follow or subscribe to my page so you get notified every Tuesday when I post a new project.
