Colour & Contour Bundle Card

8 Comments May 18, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Today I was creating a fancy year end card to give to my teaching team (I actually need 3 of them – my cohort partner, my teaching partner and my E.A.) They are all so fabulous! I used two challenges to help give me inspiration.

I love the Gilded Leafing and the In Color Jewels. They just add a sparkle that makes everything look so special. To see ow I applied the Gilded Leafing ( and grab a tip or two on how to use the Heat & Stick powder) watch my video. If you like it please subscribe and shar it with others. Thanks!

Live in Canada and love the new In Colours? It’s not too late to join my In Colour club. Your first month may arrive a bit late but you’ll be able to join us for the zoom and replay when you get your items. Then you’ll be all set for the next four months.

Paper Pumpkin – May 2021 Batter Up!

Leave a comment May 17, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This month’s Paper Pumpkin was a Home Run!! The Batter Up kit came with 3 pieces of Double Bubble Bubblegum, a Night of Navy Ink Spot, fabulous envelopes and all the card bits, plus the best stamp set.

Check out the video below to see how quick and easy the three cards are to make.

You won’t want to miss next month’s Paper Pumpkin either. June’s ink-credible kit contains enough elements to create nine cards—and coordinating envelopes—including ink-stained paper pieces, an exclusive stamp set, and not one, but two Classic Stampin’ Spots! And, it all comes in a cute, colorful, and collectible box.

Have A Peachy Day

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.

Sweet Silhouette

1 Comment April 13, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

These beautiful (soon to be retiring) silhouette stamps and dies create quick and stunning cards.

The first card I created for the Spot Sketch Challenge #157. If you would like to see how I created the coloured background on the left check out my video below. I think this card could make a fabulous grad card or celebration of most life changes.

I then used some other pieces from this great bundle and some spare watercolour pieces ( because I never paint just one paper at a time!) to create a variation of this card.

The Sweet Silhouette dies and Silhouette Scenes stamp set will no longer be available after May 3rd. So if you love these grab them now! You can use the host code: BWWEEQGM, any order over $60 using this code will receive a little something special from me as a thank you.

Whiskey Business -# FMS460

1 Comment November 9, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

If you follow my blog or Facebook page you will know that i am a HUGE fan of using sketches to design. Today’s card was made using a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I wanted to add details, but still keep it simple. I think the detail that makes this card is the wink of stella added to the decanter and glass. I just love how it adds a shine to everything it touches!!

The dimensions for this card are standard base (8.5″X5.5″, scored at 4.25″) then a layer of DSP ( 5-3/8″ X 4-1/8″). The banner is 3″ by 4.5″. To make the v at the bottom I marked aspot that was 1.5″ across and .75″ up the banner and then used snips to cut tot he point. The whiskey itself was created by highlighting with light Cinnamon Cider blends and then blending it with light Mango melody blends.

For a full list of supplies, see below.

Happy Stamping!

Leah

Painted Poppies

Leave a comment November 3, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week I will be spending a lot of time chatting with my Grade 2/3 class about Remembrance Day, planting our own Poppies in our school garden and we will be creating our own Poppy art in class. So I thought I’d spend my Stampin’ week focussing on Stampin’ Up!’s gorgeous Painted Poppies set. Today’s card is created using the Painted Poppies stamp set and a lot of fussy cutting (there are dies available- I just wanted a closer cut).I also heat embossed and then dry embossed the background.

If you want to get your own supplies to create this card ( and many others – check out my FB page for more samples this week) you can simply click the product images below.
