Hi Everyone,
It's time for the Stamp Around UK Video Hop again and the theme this time is 'Layers and Texture'. I've used the Wonderful World dsp and stamp set because I think the images show lots of texture and depth, the artwork is amazing and makes it really easy to make a stunning card. I've also used some embossed card stock and a beautiful die cut image. Let me show you how I made it, there is a link to the video tutorial below.
Materials
1 piece of starry sky card stock 8 1/4" square
3 pieces of orchid oasis card stock 2 1/2" square, scrap for the sentiment
2 pieces of dsp 2 1/4" square
1 piece of basic white 5 1/4" square, scrap for the sentiment
1 die cut floral image from the dsp
Wonderful World stamp set
Pansy Patch stamp set
Orchid Oasis ink
Starry Sky ink
Fern 3D Embossing Folder
Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Trimmer
Simply Scored
Bone Folder
Ruler
Multipurpose adhesive
Dimensionals
Double Oval Punch
Paper snips
Instructions
Using the Simply Scored, score one side of the Starry Sky 8 1/4" square card at 2 3/4", turn 90 degrees to the left and score again at 2 3/4". With the square in the top left corner, mark the top of the card at 5 1/2" and again down the left side at 5 1/2". Using a ruler, join the two marks together by scoring a diagonal line which should intersect where the two 2 3/4" score lines cross.
Burnish the score lines, fold the straight lines into valley folds and then carefully fold the diagonal line as a mountain fold. It should then fold up into the shape of the card, just ease it gently, it will fall into place.
Emboss one of the squares of orchid oasis with the Fern Embossing Folder and adhere to the top left square when the card is folded. Adhere the remaining two plain squares to top right and bottom left as shown in the picture. Add the dsp squares to these two mats.
Fussy cut the floral image that you want to use and add to the embossed layer using dimensionals.
Position the white card so that you can see where to stamp your sentiment so that it can be seen in the bottom right section. Stamp the sentiment and add some floral images too and then adhere this piece in place.
Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white card and punch out with the double oval punch with a layer in starry sky. Add this to the card front using dimensionals.
I do hope that you like this card, it was inspired by a fellow Demonstrator from USA but there are also examples on Pinterest that I have seen too. This is how the card looks when it is displayed
