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

Stamp flowers and leaves all over white as shown, using masking technique

• Stamp your first image, in this case, it's the "bottom" pink flower

• Stamp the same image on a "post-it-note" and cut out.  Try to have part of the image where the sticky part is on the back.  When "cutting," make sure to cut VERY CLOSE, even taking a sliver of the color off

• Place the "mask" over the flower and then stamp the leaves.  The "mask" will protect the flower so none of the leaves will go on top of it, giving an appearacne that the leaves are BEHIND the flower
• Do the same thing, covering the leaves with a mask and stamp a yellow flower
• Now cover the yellow flower with a "mask" and stamp more leaves

• Stamp "JUST ME" on white & punch out with 1 1/4" circle punch
• Punch a black 1 3/8" circle
• Assemble as shown using dimensionals under the black circle
• Glue with 2-Way Glue Pen or staple the "you" on the card as shown here
