Our theme today is WAYS WITH PUNCHES. I decided to use the TREASURED MEDALLIONS BUNDLE for this project.

TREASURED MEDALLION BUNDLE

This is a two-for-one opportunity … two events, one card. I am also using this project for the #CI94 COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE.

Stampin’ Up!® have done such a great job by adding another ‘Pick a Punch’ – Lovely Labels, and now, TREASURED TAGS PICK A PUNCH.

I used my Stamparatus to evenly space the image across the piece of Basic White card stock. Then the four colours, from the challenge, were cut into decreasing sizes of card stock to be used as layered mats.

Both punch shapes remind me of domes. I chose the one with the ‘spire’ to punch 1″ strips of card that I attached behind the mat layers and aligned to the stamped images.

Finally, I coloured some more Pearl Basic Jewels to coordinate. Just a touch of bling.

Who are the ‘treasures’ in your life? Who would you send this card to?

TECHNIQUE TIME – MASKS

Hello to my card making friends. Many of you may know that one of my goals this year is to participate more regularly in Blog Hops.

It has been a while since I joined the FRESHLY BREWED PROJECTS blog hop, but I’m working on my stamping schedule to make sure I include the themes and dates (fingers crossed).

The theme this week is MASKS. I chose to use a very simple masking technique for this card.

I wanted to create stacked ice cream cones but didn’t want to punch out separate ice cream tops.

I stamped one ice cream image onto a post it note and fussy cut it out. To create the ice cream trio stack I stamped the image in Gorgeous Grape onto Basic White card stock. The post it note was secured over that stamped image. I cleaned and reinked the stamp in Pretty Peacock and stamped the image a little lower. I repeated this step using Bermuda Bay.

The two ice cream stack was created using the same steps using Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody.

And, the Magenta Madness ice cream went solo. Finally, there was fussy cutting.

The waffle looking sheet from the ICE CREAM CORNER DSP pack was cut the cake cones.

Joy Kids Cake Ice Cream Cone - 1260/Case

The greetings were stamped using Bermuda Bay and Magenta Madness. This double stamping creates a colourful shadow.

Make sure you hop along to the other Freshly Brewed Projects participants for other great ways to make your cards shimmer.

The colours I chose to use are also the colours for #CI91.

No photo description available.

I didn’t add glitter paper to the card but did use CLEAR WINK OF STELLA.

Happy stamping.
