Path to Greatness

This week’s product is the Path to Greatness stamp set (155454, $21). Here’s a simple thank you card.

z Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Path to Greatness

This card starts with a piece of watercolor paper, an E block, a crumb cake ink pad and a Stampin’ Spritzer. Ink the block lightly with the crumb cake ink and then spritz water before putting it onto the watercolor paper. Leave it to dry.

Next stamp the bricks in Soft Suede and heat emboss the sentiment with copper embossing powder. Layer this onto copper foil and then onto a Crumb Cake card base. Add a few champagne rhinestones.

I demonstrated this card, and 2 others with this stamp set, earlier today at 11am EDT on Facebook. Check it out.

Expressions in ink DSP

Here is the final card for the week featuring the Expressions in ink DSP. The matching stamp set Artistically Inked was also used as before for the sentiments. 

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Expressions in ink DSP - Artistically Inked

This piece of DSP is part of a 12 by 12 inch sheet as usual but this one would make a fabulous background for scrapbooking. Since I haven’t got into that, I made mine into a card. I’ll show you the entire sheet on my FaceBook Live later on today. The 3 by 3 inch piece of the Expressions in ink DSP was matted in gold foil. Before adding that to the Just Jade card base, the sentiment was heat embossed in gold.

Join me at 11am EDT today on my Facebook Live to watch how I made this and two other cards. Share my live and get added to a raffle for a small prize.

Beauty of the Earth DSP

Here is a tiny snippet of the Beauty of the Earth DSP – and you could make a lot of these. I’m guessing at least 60!

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Beauty of the Earth DSP - Beauty of Friendship

The line of trees were cut from a piece of the Beauty of the Earth DSP which has masses of them. It was matted on Mossy Meadow card stock. Next it was positioned over a Whisper White card base to give the position for the sentiment. The sentiment comes from the Beauty of Friendship and was stamped in Mossy Meadow. Only then was the matted DSP attached to the card base just in case of a stamping issue.

I really like the simple elegance of this card. I showed making it earlier today at my normal 11am EDT Facebook live. You can check out the replay.

Vine Design

This week I’m using the Vine Design Bundle (156266, $55.75) from the January to June mini catalog and today I’m introducing the fifth incolor, Soft Succulent.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Vine Design - Layering Circles Framelits Dies

I started with a Very Vanilla layer and then used a couple of flower stamps from the Vine Design set up one of the sides. Colors used were Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya and then some Soft Succulent leaf sprigs. 

 Next the very vanilla layer was matted in Soft Succulent and then the same color was used for the sentiment, also from Vine Design. The Layering Circles Framelits Dies were used to cut out the sentiment and also a scalloped circle in Soft Succulent. The two circles were glued together and then added to the card using dimensionals. The final touch was the addition of the brand new – and gorgeous – 2021-2023 incolor jewels. I predict that these will quickly go on back order!

Forever Greenery DSP

This is my fifth simple card to use up your retiring DSP. Here’s another different pattern from the Forever Greenery DSP. I’m really glad that I started this series to use up DSP or I probably wouldn’t have made this card and I really love it.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Forever Greenery DSP - Forever Fern - Boho Indigo Product Medley

This card is similar to yesterday’s in that it is a 2 inch strip of The Forever Greenery DSP. I didn’t add a mat this time because I didn’t think it needed it.  Whereas yesterday’s card was showcasing the DSP, in this one it’s more of a background so I chose a quieter pattern.

The image was stamped in Pretty Peacock onto a 2 1/2 by 3 inch piece of Soft Sea Foam. Next it was matted in Pretty Peacock (1/8 inch larger in both directions). Next the sentiment was added from the Boho Indigo Product Medley, merely because it was still out on my desk from last week and it was the right kind of shape! This then allowed me to position the layered images. The finishing touch was more of the Elegant Faceted gems.

The idea with this layout is that the focal point hangs over the strip of DSP. You can get 12 cards like this out of one 12 by 12 sheet of paper which makes 144 out of the full DSP pack!

I’ll be making the 5 layouts I’ve shown this week later this morning at 11am EDT as usual. I’m not sure if I’ll use the Forever Greenery DSP, I may show a different one.
