SPRCC - Day 4 Coordinating stamp and die trick


On day 4 of our spring online card class, Julie Ebersole showed us how we can die cut a window on the top of the card to create a scene inside and then use that die cut piece to make another card.

Here I am using the BB Mermazing stamp and die-namics from My Favorite things. For this technique having a Misti Tool will really help. I first stamped the mermaid image and cut the window on the front panel of my card. Then I placed the stamp to exactly fit through the window and stamped the mermaid image on the inner panel. I also stamped the mermaid image on some masking paper and put that on the mermaid stamped on the inner panel. I then used my cloud stencil to make the waves with distress ink. I colored in the mermaid using zig clean color brush and stamped the sentiment inside.


For the second card, I used the same cloud stencil to make waves. Colored the cut mermaid image which I had from the window of the first card and added some shimmer using clear spectrum noir pen. Using the sunny skies die-namics from My Favorite Things, I cut the sun and added in some color with distress ink. Stamped the sentiment on the card and finished it off with pink dashes around the card.

Spring Card Camp (SPRCC) Day 1 (Faux Embossing) and 2 (Single stamped image)

On day 1 of our online card class, Jennifer Mcguire showed us how we can use a stamp to create our own embossing folder. Well I don't have a card from that class as the stamp I used didnt hold up too well when I tried for emboss multiple times.

Moving on to day 2, Kristina Werner showed us how one stamped background can be used to make two cards. Here I used a bunch of flower stamps to stamp the background on a 8.5 x 5.5 inch card stock. Colored in the leaves using my zig clean color brush markers and cut the card into half to make two A2 size card fronts. I stamped in the sentiment on each card and stuck it on a green card.
