Forever with You

Yes, I tried a triple layered card, I have done the same technique many times as a double layer, but this was the first triple. The cards are easy to make and for me the only down side is they use a lot of paper, so while I'd do it in a club setting it won't be a card in my Card Buffet(see class tab).

  • The card base is Very Vanilla CS, I cut two additional pieces of Very Vanilla CS, on at 3 3/4" x 5" and one that was 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"
  • I cut two pieces of Early Espresso CS 1/4" larger both directions the the Very Vanilla CS pieces.
  • I center each piece of Very Vanilla on top of each other holding them in place with temporary tape.
  • I stamped the vines from Forever with You in Crumb Cake ink and randomly stamped it on the stack of CS. I then stamped a flower from Fabulous Florets in Early Espresso ink, again randomly across the stacked of CS. 
  • I un-taped the layers of CS and re- layered with Snail, Each piece of Very Vanilla onto a piece of Early Espresso. Layering it onto a larger mat hides where the ink misses as it stamps from one layer to another.
  • On a scrap of Very Vanilla CS I stamped the phrase from Forever with You in Versamark and heat embossed it with Early Espresso. I cut it out with the corresponding Window Frame Collection Framelit using the Big Shot. I popped it up with Dimensionals in the center of the card.

Fabulous Florets

So have you heard of the September Special?

During September, get a FREE spool of 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon with every
$40 purchase. Choose from any of our 2012-2014 In Colors—or earn all five!

Several of my customers have asked for cards designed without any phrase added to them, this is one of those cards.  It would be very easy to add a banner with a phrase relating to any occasion you wanted a card for.

  • The card base is Very Vanilla CS with a front of Raspberry Ripple that was run through the Big Shot in the Fancy Fan Folder.
  • On a piece of Very Vanilla CS cut at 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" I stamped the leaves from Fabulous Florets with Lucky Limeade.
  • On a Scrap of Watercolor Paper I stamped the largest leaf with Lucky Limeade I added more color with Old Olive Ink and an Aqua Painter, after it dried I cut it out and popped it up with Dimensioals over the same leaf in the design.
  • On another scrap of Watercolor Paper I stamp the smallest flower from the set with Stazon, I colored it with Ink and an Aqua Painter and after it died I cut it out and popped it up With Dimensionals overlapping the popped up leaf.
There you have it a card without a phrase.
