Pattern Party Double Easel Card

Leave a comment June 8, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

When it comes to fun folds I prefer a card that looks great both open and closed. This Double Easel does the trick.

To create this card, I used a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock (4-1/4″ X 11″, scored at 5-1/2″) and then I glued a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock (4″ X 10-1/2″, scored at 5-1/4″ and 2-5/8″) to the front center of the Coastal Cabana cardstock. Everything else is just decoration 🙂 Have fun adding your own layers of DSP and embellishments. You can watch the video below to find out exact details on how I decorated this one.

If you’d like to get a pack of this Pattern Party DSP for yourself, there are two ways. Host your own party ( or buy over $200CAD for yourself), then you can use $24 of your host rewards to get it. Or JOIN my $1000 Pattern Party.

Have A Peachy Day

4 Comments May 16, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

The weather here in BC feels like summer and these peaches transport me to my childhood, summer days in Penticton. I created today’s card specifically for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. If you haven’t tried your hand at a sketch challenge you really should. Such a great way to design cards and sometimes really stretches your creative thinking.

I have been enjoying playing with the Sweet As A Peach bundle. I am getting ready for a Sweet As A Peach stamp camp being put on by myself and 6 other demos. There will be 14 projects total!! Registration has ended; however I still have two spots remaining for Option 2 and unlimited spots for people in the U.S. to order the PDF and attend the online portion.

Party Puffins Birthday Card

10 Comments May 4, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

We have a new catalogue that launched today – you can use the link in the sidebar to view it!!

This card was created using my FAVOURITE set from the new offerings.

I designed this card for the Colour Challenge at Handstamped Sentiments (HSSCC363)

I even used the Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends and the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (there isn’t a Bumblebee Blends) to create the orange on the Puffin beak.

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

Please also check out all of my upcoming events – you can see the full list on my home page of this blog or under events at https://leahdixon.stampinup.net/

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.

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.

DAY 5 – STAMPIN THE RAINBOW

Leave a comment March 18, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I will be live every day this week (Mar 14 – 20) at 10am(ish) to stamp with you. Each day I will be featuring a different colour and one great ordering special (see below). Today’s card is featuring a range of blues – Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party. The stamp set I am using is called Nothing Better Than. The card idea was inspired by a card sketch from TGIF Challenges (#TGIFC307)

To create the fun, popped up sparkly words I die cut Rainbow Glimmer Paper attached to a Foam Adhesive Sheet. I also added Wink of Stella to the cocktails and some Rhinestones for extra bling.

Or look below for a full list of materials used in today’s card.

Die cutting with Foam Adhesive sheets is a bit fussy, but well worth the trouble. Try it with other die cut words and DSP. To see exactly how I created this card – check out my You Tube video. While you are there make sure to subscribe to my channel.
