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″

Sweet As A Peach Card

Leave a comment March 5, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Did you hear? Stampin’ Up! has announced a 20% off sale on the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and 13 select bundles. Sweet As A Peach is one of these sale bundles.

This card was inspired by the Global Design Project sketch challenge.

This set is SO easy to use. I love stamping these peaches in Pale Papaya with a soft Calypso Coral sponged edge.

Aside from CASEing the layout and the use of the lattice, I copied the double loop ribbon. I did this by cutting a piece of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon in half then tying it in a bow.

Here is the full list of supplies I used:

Basic White 8 1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [159229]	Basic White 8 1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [159276]	Bark 3 D Embossing Folder [155431]	2021–2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum [155616]	Sweet As A Peach Bundle (English) [155823]
Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad [147114]	Pale Papaya Classic Stampin’ Pad [155670]	Calypso Coral Classic Stampin’ Pad [147101]	Pear Pizzazz Classic Stampin’ Pad [147104]	Paper Lattice [155697]
Pale Papaya 3/8″ (1 Cm) Open Weave Ribbon [155672]	Polished Dots [158134]	Stampin’ Seal+ [149699]	Mini Glue Dots [103683]	Stampin’ Dimensionals [104430]
Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals [144108]

Leave a comment March 2, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I love the ocean and all things that remind of tropical places and even our own ocean here in BC. So when Stampin’ Up! released this Waves of the Ocean Collection I had to have it.

This card was created using the full collection. You will want to grab yours NOW. The stamp set and dies are an early release from the upcoming Annual Catalogue, however the DSP, foils and rhinestones are limited time only while supplies last.

As a special bonus – when you order the full collection from me you get free access to my upcoming Waves of the Ocean Stamp Camp that i am holding with a couple of stamping friends – Ange McKay and Lori Willcox. (*if you are a demo, or you live outside of Canada – we have option for you too!) See all the details here: https://form.jotform.com/leahdixon41/waves-of-the-ocean-stamp-camp

This card is a very fun fold, perfect for showing off DSP. Here is what it looks like all opened up. See below for dimensions and a video of how I created the card.

The dimensions for the card pieces are:

Night of Navy card base – 5-1/2″ X 4-1/4″

Waves of the Ocean DSP – 5-1/4″ X 11″, scored at 1-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/4″ and 7″

New Horizons DSP Cards

Leave a comment February 23, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week I am featuring the absolutely stunning and versatile New Horizons 6X6 DSP. This paper really does steal the show – just add a sentiment and you have a gorgeous card in a jiffy!

I embossed a sentiment from the FREE SAB Stamp Set – Special Moments on a label created using the soon to be released Waves Dies. To add some interest to the cardstock on the card front I used blending brushes and a mask to add a bit of subtle colour on colour design.

Special Moments – SAB stamp set FREE with $120cdn purchase

Basic Pattern Decorative Masks – 150697 – $11.00 CAD

I even used the mask to decorate the inside of the card and the envelope. To see how I created this card watch my video below.

All Together Collection

2 Comments January 31, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

A fabulous new Collection is being released by Stampin’ Up! on Feb 1st – the All Together Collection. With beautiful hand sign images, heartfelt sentiments, Black and White DSP, and 10 Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends. Buy the items individually or as a whole collection – you will definitely want to get your hands on these.

I used most of the Collection (not the dies) to create this card for a Freshly Made Sketch Challenge.

I used a plate to create a mask template for my circle. I added colour (Mango Melody, Calypso Coral and Poppy Parade) directly to my Thick Basic White card base using Blending Brushes.

Next I glued down a strip of All Together DSP. I used Memento Black Ink to stamp the sentiment directly on the card base and the hands onto a Layering circle. I attached the hands to the next largest Layering circle cut from Basic Black cardstock and coloured the hands using the new Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends. The hand in the center of the hands was coloured with Light Poppy Parade and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. Finally I embellished the card with Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

Here is a full supplies list! Make your wishlist and place your order asap by clicking the images below or contacting me directly. See below some other perks of ordering from me.

Basic White 8 1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock $11.25	Basic Black 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock $12.00	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad $8.25	Poppy Parade Classic Stampin’ Pad $10.25	Calypso Coral Classic Stampin’ Pad $10.25
