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

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

I used Snowflake 12 X12 Specialty Vellum and the Celebrate With Tags Bundle to create this festive card. Then I used the same sketch to create a fun Paper Pumpkin alternative card as well.

You can literally take a 3″ X 4″ piece of ANY DSP then add a sentiment strip and circular image or base for images. All of the supplies I used to create today’s holiday (not the Paper Pumpkin) card are listed below and on this handy printable recipe card.

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

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge # 396 – Colour Challenge

1 Comment August 23, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

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

I used Stampin’ Blends to create a quick, fun background for this card – inspired by Stampin’ Through the Catalog. To let the flower bundles stand out nicely I also traced around the images with light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends. This bundle has some coordinating and complimentary dies – unfortunately I forgot I had the dies so I fussy cut the flower bundles and the banner.

To colour the flower bouquet I used my Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral and the retired Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends – however the Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia blends would be a good substitute.

There is one more week left to get a hold of the Sale-a-bration offerings. See exactly what you can earn by clicking the image below.

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge # 395 – Sketch Challenge

4 Comments August 9, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

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

I substituted the floral element for the silver snowflake created with the Joyful Flurry bundle and used a masked layer rather than more cardstock to create the sentiment section. I used the Rings of Love 12X12 DSP from the Sale-a-bration selection. You can earn the DSP for FREE with a $60CAD purchase. All SAB items are only while supplies last – so don’t wait to grab this fantastic DSP.

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

I used a wide range of pinks to create this card. Blushing Bride cardstock, Melon Mambo Ink, Polished Pink Opal Rounds, and Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon. Not to mention the Flirty Flamingo blooms cut fromt he Hues of Happiness DSP. The stamp set I used for the sentiment was Happiness Abounds from the brand new 2022-2023 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.

To add some interest to the background of this card I applied Melon Mambo Ink in a small circular motion using a Blending Brush – then I Picked up some Melon Mambo Ink with a Water Paper and splattered it across the embossed and inked background piece. The ribbon and opals add just the right amount of sparkle to the painted blooms.
