As I mentioned, in my post yesterday, Sunday will be my ‘step it up’ card making day. I shared #simplestamping cards yesterday and today I will share some cards that are increasingly more elaborate.
The first two cards are ideal for those of you with a little more experience and a few more card making products in your craft room.
I am still using the main elements from yesterday’s cards.
I started by stamping and masking the hearts down the right-hand side of the card front. Then I stamped and die cut three of the hearts before using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up.
A 1″ strip of the Sweet Talk DSP had white twine, from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, wrapped around it and tied with a bow. After this piece was adhered to the card front, I added two 1/4″ strips of Highland Heather cardstock to each side of the DSP.
For the next card I used a second set of dies and embellishments.
I used one of the Basic Border Dies to cut two layers for the card front – one in the Sweet Talk DSP and the other in Highland Heather cardstock.
For the Highland Heather layer I stamped the two circular spots images, using the same colour.
The 1-1/4″ DSP strip had a length of white Baker’s Twine wrapped around it. The sentiment was stamped and die cut using the tag die from the Sweet Hearts Dies. The tag was then threaded through the twine and tied in a bow. This piece was then popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Three stamped and die cut hearts were added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to colour some retired Subtle Shimmer Sequins to add to the card front.
For this card I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round some of the corners, as you can see. Before adhering the Sweet Talk DSP to the cardstock, I wrapped a length of Highland Heather Grosgrain Ribbon around the DSP.
I cut and layered the two tags and threaded some of the ribbon through them. The hearts and coloured sequins were added as well.
The layout continues to be very similar to the first two, from yesterday. For this card, I added a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock and a length of Highland Heather that was embossed using the Gingham Embossing Folder.
I took a 12″ length of the the Sweet Talk DSP and folded it to create the effect you can see. Tear and Tape and Mini Glue Dots were used to secure it in place. It was glued onto the embossed cardstock.
A length of white Baker’s Twine was coloured using the Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend before being wrapped and tied in a bow. This bundle was then popped up on the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped directly on to the card front and the die cut hearts were popped up as well before a few coloured sequins were added.
So there we have it – a New Year and a new approach to my daily posts.
Tomorrow is Monday and it will be Memories on Monday.
Until then, happy stamping.
If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. Just click on any of the images below.
Because some of the products I have used to make this card are not yet available to customers, I am not able to show them at this time. As soon as product images go live, I will create this section.
