New Artfully Layered stamp set with Plenty of Pattern masks; embossed grid technique & video

December 22, 2021

Here's a card made in my series featuring the Plenty of Pattern masks from a recent FB Live seen here. I think it's super neat!

Save

I explain how it's done in the video here. Basically I laid the mask over my card stock and repeatedly pressed my Versamark ink pad directly over it. Then I heat embossed with Clear embossing powder & my heat tool. I love this effect!

The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog. It will be in a bundle with the Tropical Layer dies at 10% off.

After I created the embossed grid background layer I used a scalloped stitched rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die-cut a piece from the center. Then I adhered the outside piece to my Black layer and added the center piece on Stampin' Dimensionals. I wanted the Black to show a bit behind it.

Save

The oval die-cut for the greeting is from the Beautiful Layers dies; also from the upcoming new catalog. Adding a 1/2" Black strip brings the Black outer layer forward a bit.

Below is the video with this project & lots more!

Beautiful but quick cards with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More card pack

May 15, 2024

I shared this card on last week's FB live video. It starts out with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More cards and a Basic White Memories & More card base.

Save

I scored the blue card and the front half of the card base in half. Then added a few short pieces of card stock behind the front layers so that layer pops up.

Save

The size of these pieces do not matter at all. Some people use one thicker piece on each side; I used two thin pieces. It allows the top layer to move independently from the front of the card. See how it's done in this video.

Save

You can see these Memories & More cards here. They come in a pack of 28 – half are 3 X 4" and the rest are 4" X 6". They fit our Basic White Memories & More card bases and envelopes perfectly. They're also a great way to create larger than our usual cards – 4 1/4" X 6 1/4" finished size.

I made more beautiful cards with these products, adding a bit of twine to some along with a few printed greetings from the Saying Something Ephemera pack.

Save

You can see the Saying Something Ephemera pack here. It's FULL of tons of greetings you can just add to a card or scrapbook page. I was thrilled when I saw these in the catalog. They're a perfect solution for quick crafting.

Save

Sometimes you want or need to be able to make quick cards; these items are a wonderful way to do that!
