Itty Bitty Mother’s Day Card

1 Comment March 9, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I LOVE finding new ways to create interesting backgrounds. This one was so simple. I just pressed a whole ink pad against my E block and then pressed the block onto my card base. Voila! Instant background. If you want to see this in action – check out the video below.

The rest of the card is a simple sentiment, some die cut butterflies from the AMAZING limited time only Butterfly Bijou 6X6 DSP and done! You can see a full list of supplies below.

Hello! Kangaroo & Company Card

6 Comments March 6, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I LOVE this Kangaroo & Company stamp set and die bundle – the kangas are so sweet! However, today’s card shows how you can use the other element sin the set to make fun creations as well. I am going to be mailing out some random hello cards to friends, family and customers soon – so here is one of the cards I’ll be sending.

The layout for this card was inspired by one of my favourite sketch sites – Freshly Made Sketches ( FMS475).

To start I stamped the cute envelope on the Thick Basic White background using Smoky Slate ink. Then I used Blending brushes to apply Magenta Madness ink (on the left) and Balmy Blue ink (on the left) to a Basic White shape cut using the largest die in the Stitched So Sweetly set. As I applied the ink I covered 2/3 of the shape with each colour – creating the Misty Moonlight – ish colour in the center. I then used the matching inks to stamps the hearts. I used the matching inks to colour the hearts on the envelopes and to ink JUST the hello on the Hello Baby stamp. I wrapped twine around the scallop shape and tied a bow on the right. Then I put everything together with Dimensionals. A fairly quick card with a soft but stunning look.

To order the product need to make this card ( and many more) you can click the links below or go straight to my shop.

Hey Chick! Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop

This is my first time joining a Craft Collaborations Blog Hop! This one features the hilarious Hey Birthday Chick Bundle!! Hop around and see all the amazing cards created by some amazingly talented crafters!

Here is my fun birthday card. The dies make using this set so simple – and I even remembered to use adhesive sheets on the back of the Basic White cardstock before I cut out the Happy Birthday sentiment.

To create the colourful background, I used strips of paper adhered to a Window Sheet and then die cut the whole layer with a circle. A great way to use up paper scraps!

Hey Birthday Chick!

Leave a comment February 2, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

You may have noticed the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set in the Jan – June Mini (p. 52) and thought Gee that’s fun! You may have even thought it looked familiar – because it is. During Sale-a-bration 2017 a set called Hey Chick was the most popular stamp set, so Stampin’ Up! created this new birthday version. Even better, they are bringing back Hey Chick and they are offering coordinating dies to go with both sets!! These two bundles are only available from Feb 2^nd – June 30^th.

The advantage to ordering the bundles is that you save 10% and you can earn FREE sale-a-bration items with every $60 order.

I loved this stamp set the first time around – so I am THRILLED to have more pieces to play with. Here is the card I created today. We did a little bit of masking and used the amazing Blending Brushes.

To see more samples using these bundles – follow my facebook page – I’ll be posting cards daily this week.

The video below goes into some details about how I made the card – you may want to layer up the front piece – I got lucky and my Blends did not bleed into the inside of my card. Phew!

Darling Donkeys – Love You Always Treat Boxes

Leave a comment January 26, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Valentine’s is approaching and it is always fun to package up the goodies we give in sweet wrapping. Today I am highlighting Stampin’ Up!’s no adhesive Love you Always Treat Boxes (154285 – $12.25cdn for 10 food safe boxes). You can decorate these boxes for any occasion really – this one I gave it a bit of a Valentine feel, but kept the sentiment neutral so it can be used any time of the year.

The size of these boxes is great too. I fit two cookies in this one. A twine combo pack and some chocolate would also fit nicely.

The base of this box is extra sturdy and fits together without adhesives at all. It is easy to assemble – but not exactly obvious how to do it. So the first part of my video below goes over how to assemble the Love You Always Treat Box.

Darling Donkeys – FMS469

3 Comments January 24, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches (FMS469) was exactly what I needed to use up some paper scraps on my desk. I grabbed 3 different 4″ X 1/2″ strips, added some details by stamping and embossing them and voila, perfect background.

I love this little donkey – he is so fun and cute! It is also so nice that I got this stamp set for free – and you can too! Right now Sale-a-bration is happening, which means for every $60 or $120 you spend you can earn a free SAB item.

If you have a big wish list and would like to become a discount shopper, I recommend purchasing some of what’s on your wish list in the Sale-a-Bration Starter Kit. That’s how you’ll be able to get your hands on 200 sheets of this pretty monochromatic 6×6 patterned paper, too. (That paper is the free gift that is in the Sale-a-Bration Starter Kit available through the end of February. Click here for more details about Sale-a-Bration.)
