Happy Blog Hop Day!
Each month, my Demonstrator Friends and I bring you projects we've created using Stampin' Up! products. We hope we can inspire and delight you with what we share. We love getting feedback, so please don't hesitate to leave comments as you hop along :)
My share today was inspired by the amazing Martine Stone, an amazing UK based Demonstrator over at martinsmahem.co.uk. Here is my card ...
Martin's card used the same mix of colours: Blushing Bride, Soft Sea Foam, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. I changed up the colours of the layers but drew my inspiration from his card.
I added the twist of turning the card in a "shaker" card. I'll add my YouTube link to My "Check It Out Tuesday" video where I made this card live, to show you how.
If you haven't made one of these kinds of cards before they are quite easy! In a nutshell, the top layer is placed on one of our Clear Envelopes, you add in sequins (I used our "For Everything Fancy Sequins) and secure the envelope with tape on the back of the bag so everything stays in place. SO FUN!
Here are the dimensions of the layers I used:
Blushing Bride Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Soft Sea Foam Layer - 3 3/4" x 5"
Crumb Cake Layer - 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
Painted Christmas Designer Paper Layer 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"
The house is cut out of Crumb Cake card stock
The trees are cut out of Blushing Bride card stock
The door and windows were stamped on Crumb Cake using Early Espresso ink and die cut
The room , door/window outlines and "squiggles" were heat embossed with White Embossing Powder
The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso Ink, on Painted Christmas DSP and punched out with our Double Oval punch.
This isn't a card you would want to mass produce but it sure is fun to make and packs a real "WOW!" factor. Give it a try!
