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

Hello! 

I must totally have summer on the brain this week, as you will see that all the cards on the blog this week are summer themed 🙂 What can I say, it was a long winter and now that summer is finally here I LOVE IT!! 😉

Do you get out camping? It's been a little while for us, but something I would love to do again with the family! Today's card using the camper from You're Sublime, reminds me of those good times at the lake. 

How To Make It: 

Cut and score the Whisper White Thick card base

Ink up the raised side of the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder with Chocolate Chip ink and run the Soft Sky piece in it through the Big Shot

Stamp the trailer image from You're Sublime with Black Stazon on Shimmer White cardstock and again on a Silver Foil sheet

Cut out the Silver Foil with Paper Snips following the shape of just the trailer

Color the window trim on the Foil sheet using the Melon Mambo marker, then heat set with the Heat Tool

Cut the stamped Shimmer White sheet with the Tags & Labels Die making sure the flag and sentiment do not get cut off

Use the Stampin’ Write markers to color the flag and tire on the Shimmer white stamped image and add a Rhinestone to the center of the tire

Adhere the silver trailer cut out to the Shimmery stamped die cut

Put the Melon Mambo strip through only the top of the Tags & Labels die and run through the Big Shot making sure not to cut the whole strip; repeat on the other end to die cut each end of the strip

Run the Chocolate Chip strip through the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhere to the Soft Sky layer

Add the Melon Mambo die cut and the trailer layer

Punch two ‘clouds’ from Shimmer White cardstock using the Tree Builder punch, ink the edges with the Melon Mambo marker and adhere to the card front, one with SNAIL and the other with a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals

Add a strip of Rhinestones Basics Jewels to finish it off

Hello!

I hope everyone enjoyed a great long weekend. We've had a great start to summer! We got a 'little' rain on Canada Day (aka: it poured!!) but it was some much needed rain and didn't damper the spirits of those celebrating! All in all, a great start to the summer! 

Today's card just screams summer, the beach, holidays and just relaxing time! The Picture Perfect stamp set is the perfect stamp set for summer!

How To Make It: 

1. Score the Crumb Cake card base at 4 1/4" and fold.

2. Use the tiny splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge and stamp the Soft Sky background and the Soft Sky & Marina Mist cardstock strips using both Soft Sky and Marina Mist ink.

3. Run the Soft Sky background thru the Big Shot with the Seaside Embossing Folder.

4. Run both the Soft Sky & Marina Mist strips thru the Big Shot using the border thinlit from Swirly Scribbles.

5. Roughly tear the top off the Crumb Cake strip and then use the tiny splatter stamp with Crumb Cake ink and stamp this strip.

6. Glue the Crumb Cake strip onto the Soft Sky background and then glue the swirly borders above that with the Marina Mist in the middle & the Soft Sky slightly covering the Crumb Cake. Trim the edges of the swirly strips and then glue the Soft Sky background to the Basic Black mat and glue this onto the card base.

7. Rub Embossing Buddy over both the Crumb Cake square and the Basic Black strip.

8. Use Versamark and stamp the starfish onto Crumb Cake square, sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder and use the Heat Tool to emboss.

9. Use Versamark on the Thinking of You sentiment from the Sheltering Tree stamp set and stamp on the Basic Black strip, sprinkle with White Embossing Powder and use the Heat Tool to emboss. Use the Banner Triple Punch to trim the end of the strip.

10. Attach both of the above items with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

11. Add Gold Sequins to finish.
