Butterfly Brilliance – 1 card 3 ways

Leave a comment February 23, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Today’s cards are all created using the not yet released Butterfly Brilliance Collection by Stampin’ Up!

Customers will be able to order this collection as of March 2nd (the stamp set and dies will be available in the new Annual Catalogue on May 3rd however; the DSP and Specialty paper are only available while supplies last from March 2 – April 30)

The first card I created was designed with a beginner stamper in mind. I used only 2 inks, 3 cardstocks and some glue. And yet the result is stunning.

To step it up a notch, I used essentially the same stamping, however, I stamped the butterfly twice and fussy cut it out. I embellished with twine and rhinestones and attached most pieces with my favourite adhesive – Dimensionals!!

Aside from the Butterfly Brilliance Collection, here are the supplies used to make this card. You can order the Butterfly Collection March 2nd, or add it to your starter kit today (**until Feb 28th you’ll even get 5 free DSP packs in addition to all the other perks of the kit**).

159229 $11.25	153080 $12.00	131198 $12.00	153117 $10.25	132708 $8.25
154534 $29.00	154566 $9.50	151193 $8.25	104430 $5.50	110755 $5.50
107301 $10.25	103579 $13.50	152392 $34.00

For my 3rd version of this card I took it up a few notches for the avid stamper. I used the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to add detail to the Specialty Paper, cut a label out of DSP, and to cut the intricate butterfly. Of course, I topped it all off with a dash of Wink of Stella.

If you want to see the whole process in action you can view my video below ( please subscribe to my You Tube channel if you enjoy these videos – then you’ll never miss one!)

I am hosting a Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Camp with some other talented Canadian Demonstrators. You can see all the details of the camp here: https://stampinup.net/crm/events/91361

Basically if you purchase the Collection from me on March 2 – 6th using the host code: NP2DWBBP , you will automatically be registered for the Stamp Camp. We will be making 8 beautiful cards and there will be 4 Mystery Stamping activities as well.

Hey Birthday Chick!

Leave a comment February 2, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

You may have noticed the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set in the Jan – June Mini (p. 52) and thought Gee that’s fun! You may have even thought it looked familiar – because it is. During Sale-a-bration 2017 a set called Hey Chick was the most popular stamp set, so Stampin’ Up! created this new birthday version. Even better, they are bringing back Hey Chick and they are offering coordinating dies to go with both sets!! These two bundles are only available from Feb 2^nd – June 30^th.

The advantage to ordering the bundles is that you save 10% and you can earn FREE sale-a-bration items with every $60 order.

I loved this stamp set the first time around – so I am THRILLED to have more pieces to play with. Here is the card I created today. We did a little bit of masking and used the amazing Blending Brushes.

To see more samples using these bundles – follow my facebook page – I’ll be posting cards daily this week.

The video below goes into some details about how I made the card – you may want to layer up the front piece – I got lucky and my Blends did not bleed into the inside of my card. Phew!

A Touch of Ink

I love how easy it is to create with this stamp set. The images are beautiful and simple to colour.

On this card I used Stampin’ Blends to add colour to the butterfly wings. It is also simple to use the two step stampin’ images to colour the butterfly. You can check out my video to see all the details of this card.

Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set and STAMP CAMP

Leave a comment December 29, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Today I created a fun, simple card using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set. This set is not even available yet ( unless you are a demonstrator). It is in the new catalogue – which goes live on January 5th. You can grab this early by signing up for your own Starter Kit, or on Jan 5th when you order this Suite using my host code (EDA36TNQ) you can get free access to my upcoming Sweet Ice Cream Weekend Stamp Camp.

You can see all the details of how I made this card in the video below.

Aside from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and punch, here are the supplies I used to create this sweet card.

Product List

131198 $12.00	150882 $12.00	120953 $12.00	119686 $12.00	101650 $13.25

In the video I also created a second card using a masking technique. I am running low on Whisper White Cardstock – so I created using Pool Party instead. If you have White cardstock these sweet cones would pop even more. 🙂

In addition to the product listed below, I used a sticky note, the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and Sweet Ice Cream Sprinkles.

Whiskey Business -# FMS460

1 Comment November 9, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

If you follow my blog or Facebook page you will know that i am a HUGE fan of using sketches to design. Today’s card was made using a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I wanted to add details, but still keep it simple. I think the detail that makes this card is the wink of stella added to the decanter and glass. I just love how it adds a shine to everything it touches!!

The dimensions for this card are standard base (8.5″X5.5″, scored at 4.25″) then a layer of DSP ( 5-3/8″ X 4-1/8″). The banner is 3″ by 4.5″. To make the v at the bottom I marked aspot that was 1.5″ across and .75″ up the banner and then used snips to cut tot he point. The whiskey itself was created by highlighting with light Cinnamon Cider blends and then blending it with light Mango melody blends.

For a full list of supplies, see below.

Happy Stamping!
