I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
This blog is a place to share my creations to make you smile and sometimes laugh.
I love card making and scrap booking plus a WHOLE lot more! I am definitely a child of the 70's and 80's too! I LOVE Pinterest too!!
When I saw this card I knew I had to try it. I've done another version of a diorama, but I like how the DSP continues on both sides. And the Scenic Coast dies work perfectly. Here is one that uses the sailboat dies.
And this one has the lighthouse die.
This is what it looks like from the top. See how the DSP "sits" in the card center? And bonus(!) it does fit in an A2 envelope.
Here are the pieces you need to create this card.
Here is the full video tutorial to make this card.
Here is a diorama card I made using the Kintsugi Suite, including the Inspired Imperfections bundle, Inspired Imperfections Decorative Series Paper (DSP) and Gold foil Specialty Sheets.
I love the concept of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the pieces with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a technique that highlights the cracks rather than concealing them.
Also known as kintsukuroi or "golden joinery," it transforms a broken object into something unique and beautiful, celebrating its history and flaws as a symbol of resilience and beauty in imperfection.
Here is the card front:
Here is the card opened, showing the vase in a diorama.
And here is the card from the top so you see how the diorama works.
Here is another card using another vase.
Here are the ingredients you need to make this card, including measurements.
Here is a video tutorial showing you how to make this card yourself.
I really love the new Kintsugi Inspirations suite.Here are some of the cards I made. This one is a diorama type card and showcases the vase that is die cut from one of the sheets of DSP. The front uses the Embossing folder and gold foil I die cut.
I was inspired by the annual catalog to make the cards below using the Joined Together Embossing Folder, dies, and Flower Accents embellishments.
I love this stairstep card, and thought the For the Books bundle was the perfect to use.
Here are the measurements for the cutting the stairstep part of the card. You start with a card base measuring 5" X 10" scoring at 4" and 5" then you cut 3 slits with the cardstock vertical on the paper trimmer, as directed in the picture below.
And here are the measurements for the scoring part of the stairstep part of the card. You use the score blade to score according to the picture below in 1" increments.
