STEP IT UP SUNDAY

As Sunday rolls around again, I have taken the layout from yesterday’s cards and took them out for a ride.

For the image I added colour directly to the stamp by using the Stampin’ Write Markers ®.

I used one of the dies from the All That Dies set to cut out the banners. I alternated between gluing them down and using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up.

A few Rustic Metallic Dots and the card is done. Now, onto the next.

The He’sAll That DSP also has 2 sheets of push out elements. I used the classic car for this card.

The card background is a piece of the DSP, cut to the size of the folded card, and adhered to the front.

A length of Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Ribbon was wrapped around the strip of Crushed Curry cardstock and tied in a knot. This card was then secured to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also used dimensionals on the classic car.

I had several die cut banners left over from the previous card, so I used the same stamp for the previous card and just added ink to the word ‘classic’. I added a mask to the across the top edge of the banner before stamping the word.

The wheel centres had some of the rustic dots added to them.

For this card, I started by adding a piece of Basic Black cardstock to the card.

The pulled out ‘page’ is from the DSP bundle. I cut it into three pieces and added it to the card.

The triangular shapes were die cut after I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of Cajun Craze cardstock. This made it so easy, and clean, to position the shapes across the card front.

The birthday greeting was stamped and die cut using the scalloped circle from the All That Dies set. It was popped up with dimensionals.

The Rustic Dots are a perfect embillshment for this suite.

I stamped ‘classic’ again and cut it out to pop it up and vary the colour.

I enjoy Step It Up Sunday. The real challenge on Saturday is to make #simplestamping cards. It is so much easier to create more complex cards when you have everything available at your fingertips.

Tomorrow is Monday Memories and I have a scrapbook layout ready to add some photos of Rob and his new barbecue.

Until then, happy stamping.

KEEPING THINGS SIMPLE ON SATURDAY

Welcome to a new week of crafting fun. This week I am focusing all my projects on the He’s the Man Suite.

One note card and envelope, one ink colour and two stamps. Is it possible to make an easier card?

For this card I added some strips of He’s the Man 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. I used the Banners Pick a Punch to shape the top piece of DSP.

The Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots were the perfect way to finish the front of the second card.

Tomorrow is Step It Up Sunday. I will have four cards to share with you tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY IS A DOUBLE CORNER FLIP CARD

It is loads of fun searching for different fun fold cards to make and share.

Today, I took a Corner Flip Card and decided to create a card that turned in this way on both sides of the card.

I started the scoring for this card directly in the middle across the top of the card. The left hand side measured 1-1/2″ down and the right hand side measured 2-1/2″ down. I turned the corners in and used my Bone Folder to burnish the folded edges sharply.

I carefully measured and cut the Designer Series Paper (card front) and Basic White cardstock (card insert) to match the shape of the card.

Some branch shapes were die cut and positioned behind the stamped and die cut banner. This was then added to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The fern was stamped on the card insert and envelope. Then I added some Decorative Dots to the front of the card.

The last thing I did was to stamp and die cut two ferns. I added them to the card insert so that they sit flat when closed and then pop up when it’s opened.

That was fun!

Tomorrow we start a new week and a new product suite.

Until then, happy stamping.
