Z Fold Card | Sweet Stamp Shop

Posted in Birthday, Clearly Besotted, My Favorite Things Stamps, Sweet Stamp ShopLeave a comment

Hello there!

I really loved this set from Sweet Stamp Shop’s latest release and I just HAD to do something fun with that girl on the trapeze. She had to hang from something right? I ended up using a z fold card to create the dimension I needed to do her justice.

Drop Shadow | Sweet Stamp Shop

Posted in Distress Ink, Masking, One Layer Card, Sweet Stamp ShopLeave a comment

Hi there. A couple releases back, I created some drop shadow postcards for Sweet Stamp Shop and I got a lot of questions about how I did it. I finally found the time to create a video to show off two ways of achieving this technique: using a scan n cut or using masking post its.

It’s a pretty simple technique but it creates a super cool effect. This time, I use it as a more subtle part of the card since I wanted the focus on the main stamp image and the sentiment. I looooove tequila so it was the perfect time for this.

Check out the video below for how I created it and also all the supplies I used to create these two cards.

Pure Imagination – Double Slider with Hidden Slider

Posted in Double Slider, Just Because, Sweet Stamp ShopLeave a comment

Hello! This is my very first video so I’m a bit nervous but I’ve gotten quite a few questions on how to make this so I finally got around to sharing the details. A double slider card is one of my favorite types of card to make since it’s such a surprise for the recipient. Sweet Stamp Shop’s Pure Imagination stamp set really inspired me to spruce it up a little more!

It was much easier to create a video of the process than explain via words. I’m more of a visual learner anyway.

Hopefully, after you watch it, you’ll be inspired to create this kind of card. It truly is a card for someone special.

DIY – Magnetic Bookmarks

Posted in DIY, Sweet Stamp ShopTagged , , 2 Comments

I had posted a picture of my Harry Potter bookmarks that I had made as stocking stuffers and a few people had asked how to make them. I’m happy to report, it’s pretty darn easy.

I used Canson XL watercolor paper, a 2 inch circle die, and some Love Cynthia stamps.

Using the circle die, I placed it on the folded strip of paper and ran it through my Sizzix Big Kick. This way it will come out with a folded circle.

 

 

 

I folded the paper in half and place the circle die on it leaving space at the top, so that when I ran it through my Sizzix Big Kick, it would have a folded circle.

I stamped using black Versafine ink and used Hero Arts clear embossing powder. I thought that heat embossing it made it looked a lot prettier.

 

 

Then the fun part, coloring! I used Spectrum Noir markers. They blend well on this Canson XL watercolor paper.

I found these magnet sheets at Daiso ($1.50 store). They have the white backing you see but it’s easily removeable. I remove it because it adds additional thickness that you don’t need. But I use it to cut 1 inch sIMG_3070 (1).jpgquares.

 

 

Then I used Scor-pal double-sided adhesive to the magnets and added it to the bookmarks.

 

 

Then you’re done and ready to use it in your planner or book!
