As Monday rolls around again, I find myself a little behind again.
NOTE TO SELF: Time to get my schedule back on track!
On a Saturday and Sunday, I would normally post my #simplestamping Saturday projects and then my Step It Up Sunday cards. Monday is meant to be Memories on Monday. My goal is to return to program scheduling next week.
Today, I will share my weekend projects with you.
This week, I am featuring the Texture Chic Suite Collection.
Let’s start with the simple.
Oh yes – this one’s definitely an example of #simplestamping. Two stamps and one colour on a notecard and envelope.
For the second card, I used the shell die from the Chic Dies to cut out three of the two step stamped images. The lighter layer uses a stamped off Petal Pink image.
I used my Bone Folder to give each shell a little bend before placing Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of each shell. The shells were layered and bent to create the curved shape.
The greeting was stamped directly on to the card front.
For the third card, I used some of the Texture Chic 12″x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.
I introduced Soft Suede to the Petal Pink ink for the shells.
For all cards, I have been partially stamping the ridged shell image inside the card and on the envelope.
This card has loads of elements. The front of the card has a full panel of DSP and a layer of Distressed Gold 12″x 12″ Specialty Paper.
I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of some DSP before die cutting the lattice shape. After I removed the backing paper, the lattice was easily attached to the Distressed Gold panel.
A length of Petal Pink ribbon, from the Cotton Ribbon Combo Pack, was tied into a small, tight bow and then wrapped around the gold layer.
The shells were stamped using Soft Suede ink. Then I used Versamark to attach Heat & Stick Powder to small sections of the shells. After heating this powder, I was able to attach Gilded Leafing.
Each shell was given a little curve and the positioned on the front of the card.
A few more products and tools meant that I could step up my original cards.
I am so pleased with these cards. Let me know which one is your favourite.
Tomorrow is Technique Tuesday and I look forward to sharing one with you.
Until then, happy stamping.
