Hand Stamped Cards with Josee Smuck-Stampin' Up! Canada Demonstrator

Ever since I bought the Seasonal Layers Thinlits I have been playing with the scallop die in the set to create fun scallop borders. There really are many great die shapes in this set, but I just can't help but love the scallop! Today's card is a fun and simple, stamped friendship card also using the Lovely Inside and Out stamp set from Stampin' Up's NEW 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue.

How To Make This Hand Stamped Card:

Start this card with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock.

Take a strip of Bermuda Bay cardstock and run it through the Big Shot with the scallop die from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits dies, running it through again on the other side of the strip taking care to line up the scallops so you get a nice border strip. Adhere this to the cardbase.

With Crushed Curry and Bermuda Bay ink stamp the starburst and greeting on Whisper White cardstock and then die cut with the oval die from the Stitched Shape Framelits. Create a mat layer for this greeting by die cutting a scalloped oval using the Layered Ovals Framelits and Crushed Curry colored Color Theory Designer Series Paper.  Adhere these layers together and then adhere them to the cardfront.

Tie a bow out of the Bermuda Bay 3/8" Mini Chevron Ribbon and use a Mini Glue Dot to add it to the greeting layer.

Finally, add some Gold Faceted Gems to the Bermuda Bay scallop strip.

Today's stamped card features one of my new favorite stamp sets- the Sharing Sweet Thoughts stamp set from Stampin' Up's NEW 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue. Purchasing this stamp set helps Ronald McDonald House Charities!

I love the way this sweet card came together with the Layered Leaves 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background!

How To Make This Hand Stamped Card:

Start this card with a cardbase of Soft Sky cardstock run through the Big Shot in the Layered Leaves 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. This embossing folder gives really deep impression for a gorgeous backdrop.

Next, start assembling your elements for layering. You will need a folded Delicate White Doilie and a strip of Berry Burst 5/8" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. Using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch, cut a scrap of Lemon Lime Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper.

On a piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the jar and berries from the Sharing Sweet Thoughts stamp set using Basic Black ink and color in the berries using Berry Burst and Lemon Lime ink pads and an Aqua Painter. Use the matching Everyday Jar Framelits dies to cut the jar shape.

Stamp the gingham lid from the Sharing Sweet Thoughts stamp set with Berry Burst ink and die cut using the matching die from the Everyday Jar Framelits. Adhere the lid to the jar with a few Mini Glue Dot or some SNAIL Adhesive. Then adhere the jar on top of the other layered elements with Stampin' Dimensionals.

To create the greeting strip

Die cut a strip of Berry Burst cardstock using the banner die from the Cupcake Cutout Framelits. Stamp the greeting from the Sharing Sweet Thoughts stamp set using Soft Sky ink and punch it out using the Classic Label punch. Adhere this punch out to the die cut using Mini Glue Dots.

Lastly, adhere the banner strip to the cardfront using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Now, onto today's 'Lovely' card:

How To Make This Hand Stamped Card:

You can start this card off with a cardbase of the Tranquil Tide Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper, cut to 5.5"x 8.5" and scored at 4.25".

Then cut two layers of Whisper White cardstock to 3.5" x 5"- adhere one to the inside of the card, this is where I stamped a sentiment from the Lovely Inside and Out stamp set with Tranquil Tide ink.

Run the second piece through the Big Shot in the new Sweetheart Textured Impressions Embossing Folder– which leaves a lovely debossed heart shape in the middle that perfectly fits the heart shape die cut from the Lovely Words Thinlits– which is die cut next out of Gold Foil Sheet.

Next, the embossed layer is adhered to the cardfront. Then, take some Gold Metallic Thread and wind some around your fingers to get a circle of thread. Add a few Mini Glue Dots to the back of the gold heart die cut and add the circle of thread to it, adding a few more Glue Dots and some of the Fine Tip Glue Pen to the back of the wording before adding it to the card front.
