OUCH!!

I know that this stamp set is retired but until something else similar to this one comes along, I refuse to part with it. It is such a perfect stamp set to make cards for those who have been hurt or had surgery. It just so happens that a friend of mine had surgery recently so I wanted to make a card for her. I L-O-V-E this stamp set!

OUCH!

CASEd from Liz Yuille

HOW TO MAKE/ASSEMBLE:

Die cut a piece of Old Olive cardstock (5 1/4” x 4”) using the largest of the Deckled Rectangle dies. Adhere to card front.
Using the next size down on the Deckled Rectangle Dies, die cut a (4 7/8” x 3 1/2”) piece of white cards stock.
Stamp the sloth in Memento Black. Stamp another sloth on a piece of masking paper and fussy cut him out.
Put the cut out sloth on top of the stamped one on the card then, using a dauber or blending brush and your Old Olive ink pad, blend around the sloth. When you are happy with how it looks, remove the masking paper.
Using your Stampin’ Blends, color the sloth. Adhere to the card front.
On scraps of cardstock, stamp sentiments and fussy cut out and adhere to card front using dimensional.
Stamp any additional sentiment on the inside of your card.
(Optional) Adhere a (2 1/4” x 5 3/4”) piece of old Olive DSP to the flap of your envelope and trim around.

SAB Thanks A Bunch

If you were fortunate enough to earn this free stamp set during this past Sale-a-Bration here's a cute card you can make. I thought these carrots were so cute. An on another note, please keep in mind that you don't need both types of adhesives, either will work. The stampin' Pierce mat is not necessary but it is recommended when stamping with the photopolymer stamps. And the clear blocks if you are just starting out and don't have all the clear blocks, just start with the largest because the small stamps can be used on the large blocks. And I suggested various colors of ink so you can choose what color you want your carrots but you can make them all one color. Remember, these are your cards. Make them yours. :0)

THANKS A BUNCH

HOW TO CREATE/ASSEMBLE:

Score Base at 4 1/4” and fold. Set aside
Run the larger piece of white cardstock through the emboss machine in the 3D folder. Adhere to card front with dimensional.
Run the piece of Mango cardstock through the emboss machine using the larger rectangle die. Adhere centered to the card front.
On the smaller. Piece of white stamp your carrot bunch in the color combination of your choice. Then, run this through the emboss machine with the smaller rectangle die. Adhere centered to the card front on the Mango cardstock. While stamping this, Don’t Forget t stamp your envelope to coordinate.
Ona scrap of white cardstock, stamp the sentiment and then run it through the emboss machine with the smallest rectangle die. Adhere this to the piece of ribbon. Trim ribbon to fit cards and adhere to the card front.

It's Your Day with Adorable Owls

The fun thing about this card is that you could do it with the Elephant Parade or the Birthday Piggies Stamp set and more! You can add a belly band or maybe ribbon or nothing like I did. BUT!! This stamp cannot be purchased, you have until the 28th of this month to get it for free with a $50 order. Last 3 days of SALE-A-BRATION!!

IT’S YOUR DAY ADORABLE OWLS

HOW TO CREATE/ASSEMBLE:

Using your bone folder, fold in both sides of your card base and brandish. Because the card will have the tendency to want to stay open it is important that you brandish the edges well. Set aside
Adhere your DSP strips to the strips of Freesia cardstock. Adhere these to the front flaps of your card base. Set aside. (Sorry I happened to pick a Designer paper that has already been retired.)
Stamp sentiment for the inside of your card on the 4” x 5 1/4” piece of white cardstock. Adhere to the inside of your card. Set side.
On the other piece(s) of white cardstock, stamp all three of the owls and two balloons (connected at the bottom) in Tuxedo black. Color these with the Stampin’ Blends. (Optional) Stamp the envelope if you would like it to coordinate with your card. If you are going to color in the owl on the envelope, slide a piece of paper in the envelope so that the ink will not bleed through to the back of the envelope. (The elephant Parade Stop set is not necessary, I used it for its balloons and you can free hand those just as easily.)
Using your snips, fussy cut out all three of the owls and the balloons (keeping them attached at the bottom. With a scrap of the leftover white stamp the smaller sentiment and cut it to fit on the card as a banner.
You will arrange these in whatever order you want on the front of your card making sure to ONLY use adhesive on the piece of the owl that will be attached to the card. I chose to alternate the sides I adhered the owls to. You can adhere all three on the same side.
