Leave a comment April 23, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Ready to stretch your creativity with a single layout? In my April 2025 edition of “1 Layout / 3 Cards,” I used the same basic structure to create three completely different looks! The sketch is from page 22 of the Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue. I also have a printable version for you below.

Here’s a closer look at the three cards I created:

✨ A graduation Congratulations card with classic blues and stars featuring the online exclusive School Days stamp set

🌸 A soft floral Thoughtful Expressions design using Naturally Gilded Specialty Designer Series Paper

🦀 A fun Ocean Friends crab card with beachy textures and playful bubbles

Each one showcases how you can change the look with colours, themes, and embellishments—while sticking to one easy card layout.

Global Design Project #493 – Colour Challenge

Leave a comment April 22, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Global Design Project is a fun Colour Challenge featuring Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green, and Basic Gray—and I just couldn’t resist creating a bright and cheerful teacher thank-you card using the School Days stamp set (available online only).

Here’s the card I created:

The bold stripes were created using tone-on-tone stamping to highlight the cute images from the set—apples, pencils, and stars. I added a stitched circle featuring a poppy Melon Mambo apple stacked on a couple of books, and tied it together with a sweet “Thank you” banner and a simple bow. Inside, I finished the card with the sentiment “You make a world of difference” and another little apple for a heartfelt touch.

This card would be perfect for any amazing teacher, EA, or school staff member who deserves a little love this time of year!

Here is a list of all the supplies I used:

$15.75	$15.75	$15.75	$15.75	$20.00	$24.00

🌷 Throwback Thursday – Flowering Tulips for Mother’s Day 🌷

Leave a comment April 17, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

It’s time for another Throwback Thursday, and today’s card is all about celebrating the wonderful moms in our lives! I pulled out one of my favourite retired sets—Flowering Tulips—to create a soft and lovely Mother’s Day card. While this stamp set is no longer available, I paired it with some fabulous Last Chance Products that you can still get your hands on… and they’re on sale!

Here’s what I used:

Retired: Flowering Tulips Stamp Set & Dies (still a go-to for floral elegance)
On Sale & Retiring:
– 2024–2026 In Color 6″x6″ DSP (I used the Pretty In Pink stripes)
– 2024–2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (a subtle sparkle that ties it all together!)
Cardstock: Basic Gray (just a reminder—cardstock prices are increasing after May 6, so now is the perfect time to stock up!)
Ink Colors: Pretty In Pink, Bubble Bath, Soft Sea Foam, Basic Gray

The sentiment combo is one of my favourites—“Love You So Much” layered with a stitched banner for “Happy Mother’s Day.” Soft, sweet, and perfect for spring.

💡 TIP: This layout works beautifully with any floral set, so feel free to CASE this card using something from your current collection!

🛒 Don’t Forget:
– Grab the In Color DSP and Shimmer Gems while they’re still available!
– Stock up on your go-to coloured cardstock before the price increase on May 6!

Here is a full list of supplies:

$15.75	$20.00	$17.00	$72.00	$12.25	$12.25
$12.25	$12.25	$11.75	$41.00	$8.25	$6.00

(For those of you who like measurements – the DSP strips are 7/8″ X 5-1/4″ and the center panel is 2-1/4″ X 5-1/4″.)

Throwback Thursday: Fable Friends Bunny Baby Card

Leave a comment April 10, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Welcome to another Throwback Thursday! Today I’m featuring a sweet card made with the retired Fable Friends stamp set—a charming classic that still brings all the cozy vibes.

This darling bunny was stamped in Pebbled Path Ink (a soon to be retired colour) and coloured using Stampin’ Blends for a soft, storybook feel. I paired him with the gentle Lost Lagoon blue/green of the Timeless Plaid DSP, a soft Basic Beige ribbon bow, and a few Blooming Pearls for just the right amount of shine.

This layout is simple yet full of warmth—perfect for a handmade baby card that’s sure to be treasured.

Card Details:

Stamp Set: Fable Friends (retired)
Designer Series Paper: Timeless Plaid DSP
Ink & Colouring: Pebbled Path Ink, Lost Lagoon Ink and Stampin’ Blends (Lost Lagoon, Pebbled Path, Crumb Cake and Bubble Bath)
Embellishments: Basic Beige ribbon, Blooming Pearls
Cardstock Colours: Lost Lagoon, Basic White, Pebbled Path

Ocean Friends Crabby Thank You Card

Leave a comment April 9, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Facebook/You Tube Live was full of underwater charm as I featured the Last Chance Ocean Friends bundle in a fun thank-you card inspired by the Global Design Project Challenge #491 – the theme is Ocean! 🌊

Here’s the card I created:

Watch the full replay here:

🌟 Card Details:

This bright and cheerful design combines 2024–2026 In Colors with a few old favourites to create a layered, sea-inspired look. Here’s what I used:

Stamp Set & Dies: Ocean Friends Bundle (Retiring – Last Chance!)
Colours:
- Card Base: Summer Splash
- Coral: Petunia Pop
- Crabs: Azure Afternoon (2-step stamping)
- Sea Stars: Peach Pie
- Background Arch: Night of Navy (leftover from a previous card – love when scraps come in handy!)
Sentiment: “Thanks so much” stamped in Night of Navy
Extra touches: Bubble stamps and seaweed add that fun ocean floor feel!

This card would be perfect to thank someone for a beach day, a seafood dinner invite, or just to brighten someone’s day with a smile.

🧼 Tip of the Day:

The 2-step stamping technique works beautifully with solid images like these crabs – it gives the critters more personality and dimension!

Global Design Project #GDP490 – Happy Hibiscus Birthday Card

Leave a comment April 5, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Hello, crafty friends! It’s time for another Global Design Project challenge, and this week’s #GDP490 is a sketch challenge. I love using sketches as a starting point for creativity, and today’s card features the stunning Happy Hibiscus Bundle, an Online Exclusive that’s perfect for creating tropical, floral-inspired designs.

Here’s the card I created:

For this challenge, I wanted to highlight the bold hibiscus flower as the focal point. The Happy Hibiscus stamp set and coordinating dies make it easy to create dimensional, layered floral elements. Here’s a breakdown of the card design:

✨ Color Palette: Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, and Basic White
✨ Embossing & Texture: I used an embossed white panel with delicate floral details to add depth to the background.
✨ Patterned Paper: A rustic woodgrain-style Country Woods 12 X12 Designer Series Paper brings contrast and interest.
✨ Embellishments: Twisted Gold Thread adds a touch of elegance, while Iridescent Foil Gems provide subtle sparkle.
✨ Sentiment: The ‘Happy Birthday’ greeting (from the last-chance Keeping Tabs stamp set) is stamped in Crumb Cake ink, keeping it soft and cohesive with the natural tones.

I love how this card turned out—it’s a great mix of texture, elegance, and tropical vibes!

Here is a list of all the supplies I used:

$15.75	$18.00	$15.75	$15.75	$17.00	$81.75

I’m so excited to share this vibrant birthday card I created during my recent Facebook Live. It features the Arched Wishes Stamp Set and Everyday Arch Dies, both of which are Online Exclusives. This design was inspired by Loni Spendlove’s gorgeous card, which you can see here.

What makes this card truly special is the masked balloon technique I used to create the colorful blended background. By combining stamped images with a soft ink-blended effect, I added depth and a festive vibe perfect for any celebration.

Card Details:
🎈 Masked balloons and a rainbow blended background
🧁 Bright, cheerful cupcake stamped and fussy cut
