celebrating 100 posts with my version of a northern lights technique

by nataliegramleystamps | Dec 20, 2021 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, my favorites, Sale-a-bration, sneak peak, special offer, specialty papers, techniques

Can you believe this is my 100th blog post! I am celebrating this milestone with a special card and technique! Lots of people have bucket lists and one of the many things on mine is to witness first hand the amazing glory of the Northern Lights one day! The upcoming Sale-a-bration has many very cool offerings but the one that immediately attracted my eye when we got to see them all in the demonstrator early release was the Simply Marbleous 6 x 6 DSP – it comes in Balmy Blue, Basic Gray, Blushing Bride, Bumblebee , Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Misty Moonlight, Pool Party, Smoky Slate and So Saffron (phew that is a lot of color!) One side of the DSP is marbled hence the name of the paper and the other side reminds me of flowing Satin sheets…
I immediately thought of the upcoming Horizons Dies and wanted to make my own version of a northern lights scene!

Measurements:
Basic Black CS 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Basic Gray hued piece of the Simply Marbleous
DSP cut to 4″ x 5 1/4″
scrap Basic Black for the sentiment and die cuts
and base piece
Vellum CS scraps for the snowcap mountains
die

Using Northern Lights colors: Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape and Blending Brushes, I colored the swirls in alternating colors to mimic the Northern Lights.

Attach the DSP to the Basic Black Base cardstock and then take an additional piece of Black cardstock 5 1/4″ x 1 to 2 inches depending upon the amount of silhouette base you wish to have for your mountainous-scape.

Adhere this 2″ x 5 1/4″ piece to the base of the DSP

Die cut several mountains in Basic Black and the snow cap accents in vellum. I cut two mountain ranges in black and four vellum pieces for this card.

Adhere the first mountain range to the right side of the card.

Using multipurpose glue, adhere the snowcap vellum to the first mountain range die

Using the same technique attach the vellum to the second mountain range – I turned mine in the opposite direction – and adhered this range on the left hand side. Then I moved down the black piece and added two snowcap dies to the bottom portion of the card

Lastly I embossed with Versamark and White embossing powder a sentiment from the upcoming Sale-a-bration sentiment stamp set Special Moments and popped it up on dimensionals!
Thanks for following my adventures in stamping – so proud of myself for coming this far and getting to 100 posts! I love to stamp and teach different ways to make beautiful cards and I love my customers! Thank you for all of your support! Hopefully I inspire you with my posts to go out and create your own artwork – One stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

sneak peak rainbows of happiness in a separated gate fold

by nataliegramleystamps | Dec 10, 2021 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, fun fold, sneak peak

This fun fold was inspired by one of our leading Stampin’ Up! US Demonstrators Lisa C. – thanks for the inspiration! This is a separated Gate Fold card and this is my take on the card using upcoming products which will be debuting in the January to june mini catalog next month on January 4th – make sure to mark your calendars for the Sale-a-bration Kick Off Party on that day! Two New catalogs launch that day!

Measurements:
Mango Melody CS 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 3/4″ and 2 1/4″ from each end
DSP (sneak peak at the Sale-a-bration DSP that
coordinates with the upcoming stamp set!
2 pieces cut to 1/2″ x 5 1/4″
2 pieces cut to 1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″
Mango Melody 3″ x 4″
Magenta Madness 2 3/4″ x 3 3/4″
Basic White 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″
DSP 2 pieces cut to 1/2″ x 3 1/2″
Basic White CS cut to 4″ x 5 1/4″

Score the Mango Melody or your choice of cardstock at 3/4″ and 2 1/4″ from each end.
Crease the score lines with your bone folder in towards the middle of the base card at the 2 1/4″ score line and back the other way towards the outside edge of the card at the 3/4″ score lines. It will look like the photo below.

Adhere the 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ strips to the outside edge with an equal border all around and take the larger strip and adhere in the adjacent panel. Do this on the other side as well. It will look like the photo below.

Stamp a sentiment on the Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Cardstock and adhere to the inside card base as shown below.

Put together your focal piece stamp an image and/or sentiment on the Basic white piece and adhere the 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ strips to the top and the bottom, adhere this layer to the next largest (the Magenta layer) and the adhere that to the Mango layer.

Close the base card and position the focal piece to the center of the card making sure that the inside sentiment is covered. Place Stampin’ Dimensionals the the back left side of the piece so that it adheres to one of the gate fold sides.

If the card remaining open bothers you – you can use small thin magnets or velcro attachments to allow the card to remain closed.

Love Rainbows and I cannot wait to show you this set and more at my upcoming Sale-a-bration Kick -Off party on January 4th!

Hope this inspired you to try something new – now go and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
