Special Someone

Posted on November 11, 2020November 7, 2020 by Josee

I’ve been stamping so many Christmas cards lately, I thought it was time to create a different kind of card with colours I love! 🙂

I watercoloured the background and tried something I saw on someone’s card recently. For the raccoon and the heart, I created them by adhering 8 layers together and I love the look! Special Someone stampin up; Multi-Layer Image stamping

Directions

  1. Adhere the Whisper White cardstock to the Magenta Madness card.
  2. Cut out the Watercolor Paper Stitched Rectangle using the Stitched Rectangle Die.
  3. Cover Watercolor Paper with water using the large Watercolor Painter.
  4. Press the ink pads onto a stamping block, water it down slightly with the Water Painter, then pick up a bit of colour at a time to the Watercolor paper until the desired colour. Let dry, then adhere to the card.
  5. Stamp the outline of the raccoon on Whisper White cardstock using Memento Black ink.
  6. Stamp the shadow part of the raccoon using ___ ink pad. Cut out using the coordinating die.
  7. Use scrap white cardstock to cut out 8 more raccoon shapes, adhere them all together then adhere them to the card.
  8. Cut off a piece of Playful Pets black and white trim and remove the black thread so you can just use the white thread.
  9. Stamp the heart balloon on Whisper White cardstock using Magenta Madness ink. Cut out using the coordinating die.
  10. Use scrap white cardstock to cut out 8 more balloon shapes, adhere them all together and glue the ribbon to the back. Adhere them to the card.
  11. Add a bit of glue from the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to the hands of the raccoon and place the end of the ribbon on it. Let dry.
  12. Use the die to cut out a small bow in Magenta Madness cardstock and adhere on top of the raccoon.
  13. Stamp “Happy Birthday” greeting on scrap Whisper White cardstock using Magenta Madness ink and cut out using the Classic Label Punch. Add to the card using dimensionals.
  14. Add some Woven Threads Sequins to the card by placing small dots of Fine-Tip Glue Pen, then adding the sequins on top.

It’s a sledding kind of day!

Just a little sledding fun with friends!

Measurements

• Balmy Blue: 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”  AND  ½” x 2 ¼” for sentiment
• Whisper White: 4” x 4” 5” x 2 ¼” approx. for die-cuts

Instructions

1. Fold card base on half at 4 ¼”. Attach Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper piece to card front using Stampin’ SEAL+.
2. Take the slope die and the Whisper White 4” x 4” piece of paper to die-cut the hill. I placed the slope die from the top left corner to the lower right corner and ran it through the die-cutting machine. You will get to pieces of the same size both with a stitched line.
3. Turn one of the die-cut slopes for the right side and attach it to the card front with Stampin’ SEAL+. Attach the other slope to the left side with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
4. Stamp the penguin, raccoon, and 2 small trees using Memento Black ink on the other scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. Colour all the images using your Stampin’ Blends. Then die-cut with the coordinating dies.
5. Add all the die cuts to the scene using Stampin’ SEAL + and Stampin’ Dimensionals.
6. Stamp your sentiment on the Balmy Blue cardstock strip and flag the end with your paper snips. Add to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
