BACK ON YOUR FEET

The Back on Your Feet Stamp Set is one of the sets that is on my list of unused products that I need to make sure I use before the end of the year, and before the new Mini Catalogue is released.

This set is so cute and the images would cheer anyone who is feeling unwell or injured.

I started by choosing the colours for the card base and layers. The top layer, in Smoky Slate, has texture added by using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. All these layers were thenadhered together and added to the card base.

The image of this poor injured sloth is cute yet sad. I stamped it and then coloured it using Stampin’ Blends. Then it was cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. When the ink was dry, I brushed some Clear Wink of Stella over the image.

The ‘ouch’ was stamped and trimmed down to size and the other sentiment were stamped and cut using the same die.

Before adding these Basic White layers to the card front, I took one of the Paper Lattice pieces and colout it using the Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blend. The lattice was glued in place and Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back of the white panels to pop them up.

The sloth was stamped on the envelope and the ‘ouch’ stamped inside the card.

The final touch was to add some Matte Black Dots to the front of the card.

I was so pleased with the result of colouring the lattice. There are so many possibilities for the lattice.

I have two more cards using this stamp set to share with you later in the week.

Until next time, happy stamping.

FATHER’S DAY CARD

Hello! Today’s post is a little later than planned but it’s here and I’m pleased you have popped by.

Yesterday was Father’s Day here in Australia. About an hour before our daughters arrived to join us for lunch, there was an 11th hour request for a card for their dad.

So here it is!

So this is what a last minute card can look like. I used Mossy Meadow and Night of Navy cardstock, as well as Basic White.

A quick card is not a complex card. I decided to add a piece of Paper Lattice to give the card something extra.

I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the goat, from the Way to Goat Stamp Set, before popping ti up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiments are from the Way to Goat and Best Year Stamp Sets. They were stamped and then trimmed. Just like the goat, they were popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Two different goat images were stamped onto the card insert and envelope.

Surprisingly, there are no embellishments on this card.

Did you make any Father’s Day cards this year?

UNtil next time, happy stamping.
