Crafting for the Stars: Making More Cards for the STLV Swap with Stampin’ Up!

-

 Hi Crafting Friends,

If you're like me, prepping for the annual STLV card swap is almost as exciting as the convention itself! There's something magical about connecting with fellow Trekkies through handmade cards—and this year, I'm diving deep into my Stampin’ Up! stash to make sure I have plenty to share.

Whether you're using the Stargazing or Everyday Skies DSP, metallic embossing powders for some nebula shimmer, or space-themed stamp sets, there's no wrong way to go boldly with your creativity.

I'm currently working on a few more cards so that hopefully I don’t run out mid-swap. If you're attending STLV, don’t forget to pack extras—you'll be surprised how many people want to trade.

Need inspo? Try mixing foil sheets with galaxy backgrounds or use watercolor washes for an abstract planetary feel. And of course, everything looks better with some bling or a little Wink of Stella ✨.

Let’s make it the most creative swap yet. See you in the stars (or the Rio)!

Heartfelt Hexagon & Perennial Lavender Sympathy Card

Hi Crafting Friend, The Perennial Lavender DSP was still on my desk along with the Heartfelt Hexagon stamps and punch so, that's what I started with. Instead of waiting until I need one, I decided to make a Sympathy card with them. I really like the way it looks. What do you think?       Card Front                                                                 Inside/Insert Here's how to duplicate it: CARD BASE Crumb Cake cardstock cut to 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"  Score, Fold and Burnish at 4 1/4" on the long side. INSERT Very Vanilla cardstock 4 1/2" X 4" edged with Pecan Pie ink and a 3/4" X 4" strip of Perennial Lavender DSP edged with Pecan Pie ink adhered next to it on the left side. CARD FRONT Punch 9 - 10 hexagons from the Perennial Lavender DSP and one from Very Vanilla or Crumb Cake cardstoc...

Hello Hills of Tuscany Fun Fold Card

 Hi Crafting Friend, Welcome to 2024, the new Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. This Spring Mini catalog is always my favorite, especially when you add the benefits of Sale-A-Bration to it. There are so many adorable stamp sets, dies, DSPs and other goodies! Do you like this catalog as much as I do?  Today's card uses the Hills of Tuscany stamp set. The images were stamped directly onto the DSP, (house - white craft ink, roof - Cherry Cobbler, trees and sentiment - Shaded Spruce) the house was then heat embossed with white embossing powder. The card base is Shaded Spruce cut to 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored on the long side at 2 3/4 and 4 1/4. Fold it in half and then fold the card front back as shown in the photos below.  The Gorgeous Grape layers are 1 7/8 X 5 1/4 for the front and inside left; and 4 X 5 1/4 for the right side.  Cut a 1 inch strip off the top of the DSP to use on another project, then cut 2 pieces, each 1 3/4 wide from the left side (the tre...

Hello Happy Sea Turtle Card

-
Image
 Hi Stamping Friend, The card I have for you this week is the second of three I designed for the swap using products from the new January-April 2023 Mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure. I paired the Sea Turtle and Happy Labels stamp sets from the mini catalog with Delicate Edges dies and Texture Chic DSP from the annual catalog. To me they seem made for each other.  This card is really quite simple if you have the basic tools. The DSP makes a perfect background. The turtle is fussy cut, the "seaweed" is die-cut. I gave the seaweed & turtle some dimension by using my bone folder to add some curl to the paper. The turtle is popped up with dimensionals, the seaweed is adhered with Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue, but I played with it, making sure some areas were slightly raised off the paper so it looks like it could be moving in the water. What do you think?   Thanks for stopping by, Live Long & Craft On! -Susan 🌄🖖 Product List Sea Turtle Photo...
