Instructions

Fold the three card bases in half and burnish well. Add a whisper white layer to the inside of all three.

Card 1 - Just Jade

Adhere the dsp to the centre of the card front leaving a small border all the way around.

Add a piece of ribbon around the centre of the card front with the cut ends at the front, stick it down with tear and tape. I've added it just to the ends of the ribbon that are visible on the front with a little overlap on to the back to keep it secure.

Stamp an image and a sentiment on the small piece of whisper white, I have used Call Me Clover ink as I don't have the new Just Jade yet.

Adhere to the centre front of the card using dimensionals and add an enamel dot in the bottom right corner.

Card 2 - Magenta Madness

Stamp some of the images on the larger piece of whisper white. I have stamped four times across the corners using Melon Mambo ink as I don't have the Magenta Madness yet. Add this layer to the silver foil layer and adhere to the front of the card.

Stamp a sentiment on the small piece of magenta card stock with Versamark, sprinkle with clear embossing powder and heat set. Add this layer to the smaller silver foil layer and add to the card front using dimensionals. Add a couple of enamel dots in opposite corners.

Card 3 - Misty Moonlight

Stamp an image on the thin piece of whisper white using Memento Black ink and colour using a selection of Stampin' Blends (I have used daffodil delight, bermuda bay, granny apple green, lovely lipstick, poppy parade and flirty flamingo).

Stamp a sentiment to the bottom right hand corner of the Bumble Bee mat using Versamark ink and clear embossing powder and heat set.

Add the coloured layer to the gold foil and then adhere to the top of the Bumble Bee card layer.

Add a piece of misty moonlight ribbon underneath this and wrap around the back and secure. Then adhere this layer to the card base. Add a small bow to the left hand side of the ribbon on the front and secure using mini glue dots. Add two enamel dots to the right hand corner of the coloured in layer.

There you are, 3 completely different cards using the same stamp set. I hope that you like them.

Now hop over to see what Donna and Victoria have made this week:
