Happy New Year! It’s the 14th of the month – time for another Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop!

This month we are featuring items from the incredible January – April 2024 Mini Catalogue. I just HAD to use the Ice Cream Swirl bundle for this card and an awesome technique called no line watercolouring (although I didn’t watercolour, so I guess mine is no line blending).

My Wednesday cards were created using the Happiness Abounds bundle and the Pool Party and Soft Seafoam Cards & Envelopes SAB item.

The SALE-a-bration brochure has some samples using these cards and envelopes – paired with the Splendid Day Suite.

The first card I made was the Soft Seafoam card – featuring some Water Colour blooms – since it is World Water Colour Month.

The second card used Stampin’ Blends and was inspired by Creative Colour Challenges (CCC#44)

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.

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

Here is the full list of supplies I used:

Basic White 8 1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [159229]	Basic Black 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [121045]	Shimmery White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [101910]	Hello Beautiful Bundle (English) [158047]	Magenta Madness Classic Stampin’ Pad [153117]
