Enjoy Life Birthday Card

Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Canada

July Host Code J3N6BYPR

For my card today I used the Enjoy Life Stamp set and the Detailed with Love Stamp set for the sentiment. I saw a card on Pinterest recently, not sure where now, but it appealed to me so thought I would give it a try.  Many thanks to the original creator.

Here is how I created my card:

• Daffodil Delight cardstock cut at 8 ½" x 11" scored at 4 ¼"
• Basic Black cardstock cut at 3 ¾" x 5"
• Watercolour cardstock cut at 4 ¾" x 3½"
• For the background on the watercolour paper I used ink colours Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight
• Used the Stamparatus to stamp the grass, cyclist and sentiment in Memento Black, stamping a few times due to the paper being textured.  This is where the stamparatus is a great tool.
• I then put all my layers together, using the tear and tape on the Watercolour paper layer to give it a good hold.

I like to keep my cards to minimum supplies wherever I can, as I know it is difficult when you are just starting out and have limited supplies.  This card will be on its' way to the UK in the next few days.

Team Challenge - Chop It - Create It

Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Canada

Hi there, I have been working on setting up this blog to share my Stampin' Up! creations and this is my first post.  

As part of the Happy Stampers team we were given supplies from our team leader Sandi to create a card for the Chop It - Create It Challenge and here is what I came up with.

• Card base is Very Vanilla cardstock cut at 8 ½" x 5 ½" scored at 4 ¼"
• Blackberry Bliss Cardstock |Layer attached with Snail adhesive is cut at 4" x 5 ¼"
• Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper cut at 3 ½" x 4 ¾".  Another strip of Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper cut at ½" x 4 ¾", centred and attached with snail adhesive.  On top of this strip I used the linen thread wrapped it around 3 times and then I tied a bow and attached this with a glue dot.  This layer was then attached to the Blackberry Bliss cardstock.
• I then used the Stitched Square framelits and die cut Blackberry Bliss Cardstock with the largest Stitched Square die.  Onto Very Vanilla Cardstock I stamped the sentiment which is from the Detailed with Love Stamp Set in Fresh Fig Ink,  This was then die cut with the second largest Stitched Square framelit - with the Detailed Trio Punch I then punched out the design in the four corners.  Under the Very Vanilla Cardstock I taped a piece of Copper Foil Sheet so that it would show through.  This was then glued down to the Blackberry Bliss square and added to the card with dimensionals.  
• To finish off I attached some copper sequins with glue dots.
