Hello – thanks for popping by.

Today I am showcasing some cards I made on one of my recent Facebook Live presentations. You can find it on my mmmstampintime Facebook page. It is in two parts because I had some streaming issues (it was Wednesday January 20).

I used the CORNER BOUQUET STAMP SET. As I was watching Emma Goddard’s Live, a few days earlier, I began to formulate this card in my mind. I made the first two cards as my samples before my Live presentations.

Until I can find the right term for the technique I used, I’ll simply call it a switching technique. I placed a 3-1/2″x 5″ piece of Basic White card stock onto my STAMPARATUS and positioned the floral stamp in the corner.

For the first panel I stamped the image using Garden Green.

Then I replaced it with a second piece of card stock, in exactly the same position. This time I coloured directly onto the stamp using my Stampin’ Write Markers™ – Garden Green, Mango Melody and Real Red. I applied each colour in turn and was able to reapply the ink if it needed more colour.

The next step was to cut the card stock using the third largest, of the eight, STITCHED RECTANGLE DIE. For the second piece of card stock I used the outer remnant from the first piece of card stock to ensure the second cut was in the same position.

The next step was to position the third smallest, of the eight, to cut the inner rectangle. To ensure the second inner rectagle is in the precise position I overlaid the outer frame from the first outer frame. (If you have no idea what I’m trying to explain watch the second part of the Facebook Live).

Here comes the switching. My first card has the coloured frame adhered to a piece of Garden Green card and then popped the all Garden Green stamped image inside the frame, lifted with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

And, this is the second card.

I coloured and stamped the flowers so that I could fussy cut them before lifting them with small pieces of dimensionals.

For the sentiments, I was able to use some of the leftover MANY MESSAGES greetings that I had from an earlier project. The MANY MESSAGES BUNDLE is a fantastic way to have prestamped and die cut greetings on hand.

I stamped the small, individual floral image inside the card three times using Real Red. When I am restocked with Basic White C6 envelopes, I will do the same on the front of them.

For my Live I chose a different colour palette – Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody.

The sentiment comes from the SIMPLY SUCCULENTS STAMP SET and is cut using one of the POTTED SUCCULENTS DIES.

Which colour combo do you prefer?

Happy stamping.
