OH I DO LOVE A SWAP

Two blogs in the one day, WOW.

There is a special reason for this, I recently took part in card swap so today I am taking part in a mini bloghop with one of my swap partners, Teresa Leggo, a demonstrator friend from the Lake Macquarie area. I will pop in the link to Teresa’s blog shortly.

Even though my eyesight isn’t the best, one of my favourite techniques is inlaying, fiddly but fun. Not all die sets are suitable for this technique but those that are can be so effective.

For my card I used the Sunflowers Dies, as it is a bit fiddly I have added photos of the steps for the flower to the tutorial, you can download a copy of the tutorial here.

Links to the products used are below. I hope you like this card and maybe give it a go.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another Christmas card so hope to see you then.

I will be adding other Christmas things to my Facebook page if you would like to check that out https://www.facebook.com/sueallenstampin

If you live in Australia and don't already have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I would love to help you. For the link to my 24-hour online store click here

Before I go, please pop over to the lovely Teresa Leggo's blog for some beautiful inspiration.

Take care, stay safe

CHRISTMAS IS COMING 7

Back to DSP, sadly what I have used is retired but there are some beautiful papers at the moment what would be ideal for this design.

My measurements are based on A4 cardstock and are in imperial measurements

Card base Mossy Meadow Cardstock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4" scored at 4 1/8"

Very Vanilla Cardstock 5 5/8” x 3 7/8” (inside)

Crushed Curry Cardstock 5 1/8” x 3 3/8”

Early Espresso Cardstock 4 7/8” x 3 1//8”

DSP 4 ¾” X 3”

Scrap Very Vanilla

Scrap Mossy Meadow

Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set

Mossy Meadow Ink

Early Espresso Ink

Stitched So Sweetly Dies

Here we go a layering

Adhere the DSP to the Early Espresso Cardstock
Then adhere to the Crushed Curry Cardstock
Adhere to the card base
I stamped the inside sentiment in Mossy Meadow but to give a bit of interest I stamped a poinsettia in the corner (over the edge) in Early Espresso, adhere the inside of card
For the front I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow, die cut then popped it up with dimensionals with a strip 3/8” of Mossy Meadow underneath

· Hope you like the card, if you have any questions please drop me an email.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another card so hope to see you then.
