Hope Anchors the Soul

So I have to admit, When I first made this card, i used an embossing folder that was not a Stampin' Up! folder because I had not received my new Elegant Eucalyptus 3D embossing folder and I needed to get the card completed. I also used retired cardstock that was black and white.  The only current Designer Series Paper that has black and white is the Zoo Crew paper. This is a very simply stated card.

HOPE ANCHORS THE SOUL



HOW TO CREATE AND ASSEMBLE: 

  1. Run the front of your card base through the embossing machine using the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D embossing folder, centered on your card.  
  2. Run the envelope through using the same embossing folder on the flap to coordinate with your card.
  3. Take the small (4” x 2 1/2”) piece of white cardstock and stamp your sentiment. Then, run it through the die cut machine using the smallest deckled rectangle die. Set aside.
  4. Run the DSP (4 3/8” x 2 3/4”) through using the next size up deckled rectangle and then the Coastal Cabana cardstock (4 1/2” x 3 1/8”) with the next size up decked rectangle. (In the set of dies starting from the smallest, its the 4th size up to the 6th size.) 
  5. Layer the  stamped image on the DSP rectangle then adhere this onto the Coastal Cabana rectangle. Adhere this to your card front using dimensionals.
  6. Stamp a dove on a scrap of white cardstock then adhere to card front also with a dimensional. Embellish with pearl jewels.

Double Z-Fold You're The Cherry On Top

YOU’RE THE CHERRY ON TOP!

Double Z-Fold card

CASED LET IT SNOW STAMPING 



HOW TO CREATE AND ASSEMBLE: 

  1. Fold your card base (11” x 4 1/4”; scored at 2 3/4” and 5 1/2”) at the two score lines, first in half, and second fold back towards the left edge and burnish.
  2. Adhere your larger piece of DSP (5 1/4” x 4”) to the inside of your card and the smaller piece (2 1/2” x 4”) to the “front flap”.
  3. Score your white strip of cardstock (11” x 1”; scored at 2 3/4” x 5 1/2”).
  4. Stamp the sentiment in the color of your choice on the right of the shorter section of the white strip. Adhere this to the inside lower right side of the card 3/4” to 1” from the bottom.
  5. Fold your card then adhere the longer part of the white strip to the left side of your card.
  6. On the largest piece of white cardstock, stamp all of your images in the colors of your choice. (Front sentiment, 2 milkshake glasses, 4 scoops of ice cream, 2 spoons, 2 straws, 4 cherries) They should all fit. You can do it with only one milkshake if that is your preference. * * Since the milkshake glasses and straws are a two step process, you want them to be two tone. So when inking the solid stamp, ink off on your paper before stamping the cardstock so that it will be a little lighter; otherwise it will basically look like all one color.  Personally I would practice on separate paper until you are comfortable with the effect.
  7. (Optional) While you are inking, stamp the front of your envelope to coordinate
  8. Stamp a little something on the additional piece of white cardstock (5 1/4” x 4”) and adhere this to the back side of your card. 
  9. Die cut out all of your images. 
  10. Adhere the sentiment to another piece of coordinating DSP.
  11. Create your milkshakes.  I recommend using the multipurpose glue for this as they allow a little movement while you are adhering.  
  12. When they are ready, you will be sticking them to the white strip only.  Before you glue it all down, arrange it on your card front making sure that nothing will be sticking outside of the “boundaries” of your card, Once you have it figured out, adhere it to your strip.

Emboss Resist Thank You For your Kindness

                    THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS

Using Emboss Resist Technique

CASED Lorri Heiling


 


HOW TO CREATE AND ASSEMBLE: 

  1. First you need to decide which side of your DSP you want to use on your card front to determine the direction of the cut. Trim down your piece of DSP to 5 1/4” x 4”. Adhere it to your card front. Set aside.
  2. Stamp sentiment in Petal Pink  then run through die cut machine with stitched rectangle. Set aside.
  3. Rub the (2 3/8” x 3 5/8”) piece of Basic White cardstock with the Embossing Buddy, (AND your envelope front if you want to coordinate) stamp the flower image using Versamark ink and cover with white embossing powder; shaking off excess. 
  4. Using heat tool, emboss the design. You’ll know it is ready because it will be a shiny white. 
  5. Now, taking either your sponge daubers or blending brushes, blend Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo inks on your design. Start inking off the page then move on to paper using circular motion until you achieve the look you’re going for.  
  6. When done, adhere this to the (2 1/2” x 3 3/4”) piece of Petal Pin cardstock.  Using Dimensionals, adhere this vertically centered to the left side of your card front. Adhere the sentiment using the glue on the part that will stick to image but dimensional to the back side that attaches to card. 
  7. Tie a bow with your ribbon and using a glue dot, adhere it to your card.  
  8. I also adhere the leftover piece of DSP to my envelope flap.
