SHARING THE ART OF HANDCRAFTED CARDS...BY LORI PINTO
Have I mentioned how gorgeous this Frosted Floral Specialty DSP is? I am sure I have, but in case you missed it… this is my absolute favorite paper! I feel like it was made for me considering it matches my website theme so perfectly! Anyway, this was another quick and easy card to put together. …
The Seasonal Wreath Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder just spoke to me! It makes such a soft and subtle statement and is bold and striking at the same time! I decided to ink up the folder before running it through the Big Shot this time. I used Smoky Slate ink and just ran the ink …
This card was one from my self-imposed challenge to make as many non-holiday cards out of products from the 2018 Holiday Catalog! This Frosted Floral Specialty DSP is one of those papers that steals the show – for any occasion and so this choice was a no-brainer! I did use a mix of products on …
This card started out being a sample project for my latest ‘Back to Basics’ video series – this latest one was all about adhesives. It ended up being a little too involved and would have made the video even longer than it was! So I decided to enjoy this beautiful card and do a much …
This Happy Birthday card was designed mostly with products from the 2018 Holiday Catalog. The ‘Happy’ sentiment was cropped using the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies and the gift box was stamped and cropped using the Nothing Sweeter stamp set and the Sweetly Stitched Framelits Dies. The SU samples give us so many ideas for holiday …
For my non-holiday project from the holiday catalog challenge… I chose to make it just a different holiday this time. Instead of using the beautiful Seasonal Wreath Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder as a traditional Christmas wreath, I used it as a Fall – Thanksgiving wreath. This embossing folder is a beautiful way to make …
This is another non-holiday project from the Wishing You Well Stamp Set from the 2018 Holiday Catalog! And I think this may be my favorite so far! The sentiment images in this set make it so easy to use for so many occasions! I used a sheet of Soft Sea Foam from the Subtles 6″ …
Now this card sure has a winter feel, but not necessarily a holiday feel! So here is my third project (and still counting) from my self-imposed challenge to use the products from the new holiday catalog for non-holiday projects! I used the Seasonal Wreath Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder again, but this time I embossed …
Since I’m not really a Christmas in July (or August for that matter) kind of girl, I decided to challenge myself to see how many non-holiday projects I can create using the beautiful products from the 2018 Holiday Catalog. I have so many ideas in my head for non-holiday ideas, but I promise to get …

I was very happy to see this Kindness & Compassion stamp set in the new 2018-19 Annual Catalog as I am always at a loss for the perfect sentiment for a sympathy card. This set has beautiful fonts and perfect wording. I had some downtime last week and decided to use it to color. (Coloring …
I saw this card on Pinterest from a fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, Rachel Tessman and I had to give it a try! It uses the Springtime Impressions Thinlits Dies to both crop the butterfly image and also emboss the background floral image. I used one of the Mango Melody sheets from the Garden Impressions 6″ …
