Sweetest Cherries Cards

Leave a comment June 26, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

All week I have been crafting with the Sweetest Cherries stamp set. I actually have 2 new cards to share with you.

This first one was created in bright summery colours – Sweet Sorbet ( with Cherry Cobbler along the edges of the cherries), paired with Early espresso and Crumb Cake to create a basket feel.

The second card was created using deep, rich Merry Merlot to create more of a black cherry feeling. I love that this set can be playful, subtle, or crisp depending on the colours you use to craft the cherries.

Earlier this week I created to other very different feeling cards.

If you are loving these cherries as much as I am – you should consider joining my Monthly Card Club ASAP. I am featuring the Sweetest Cherries bundle – deadline to join is July 10th.

Don’t forget that we also have 2 great sales happening right now (until June 30th only) – you’ll want to go to my shop to check out all the details.

Celebrate Sunflowers Double Pocket Card

Leave a comment April 27, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Every Wednesday morning I go live on FB and You Tube to create something using the Stampin’ Up! product that I am featuring that week. Today I focused on the beautiful Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and Sunflower Dies. The base of the card is made from the Heart & Home 12X12 DSP found in the Stampin’ Up! Jan – June 2022 Mini Catalogue.

The card base is actually made of DSP and is folded in such a way that it creates a sturdy card with 2 pockets. I put a Tailor Made Tag in the front pouch and plan to use the inside one for a gift card.

Check out my video below to find out how I created this Double Pocket Card. I learned this fold from a 2012 Patty Bennett video – this fold is an oldie, but a goodie. I also have a supply list below.

April 2022 Online Workshop

2 Comments April 10, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Each month I host a FREE Online workshop on FB and You Tube. It is essentially a reverse card class. I show you the product and how to create the cards – then if you’d like to receive the make’n’take package and a printable PDF tutorial you simply place a $60+ order with me using my host code (https://www.stampinup.ca?hostcode=KCSNKGQ3) . This month I focused on the Butterfly Brilliance bundle. I created 4 cards using this wonderful bundle and a few retiring items. I also featured our new 2022-2024 In Colors!

Each month I also do a prize draw (for Canadians only – sorry). I will be choosing two names this month. One to win a free pack of embellishments from me and the other to win the 4 cards I created in the workshop.

Here are the 4 cards I created.

The first two cards were inspired by two different sketch challenges.

Check out my video below to see how I created these cards.
