I saw THIS lovely card from Houses Built of Cards one day recently when I was
browsing through the beautiful samples at Splitcoast Stampers. I knew
immediately that I just HAD to case this using Stampin’ Up supplies!
- Stamps: Positively Chevron, Sweet Essentials, Woodgrain
- DSP: Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana
- Card Stock: Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White
- Ink: Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, Versamark
- Accessories: Bitty Banners Framelits, Rhinestones, Stampin’ Sponge, Iridescent Ice embossing powder, Heat Tool, Embossing Buddy, Post It Note, Stampin’ Dimensionals
To make this card start off by cutting a piece of Whisper
White card stock 4” x 5-1/4”. Stamp the Positively Chevron background stamp
across the bottom portion of the card stock at an angle in Versamark ink. Now
pour on some Iridescent Ice embossing powder, tap off the excess, and heat it
with your Heat Tool. Place the sticky part of a Post-It Note right along the
edge of the embossed chevrons. Now take a couple Stampin’ Sponges and starting
from the outside edge then working your way toward the middle sponge on
Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana ink.
Now pull off the post it note. Cut a piece of Coastal
Cabana card stock 1/2” x 5”. Stamp the card stock with the Woodgrain background
stamp in Coastal Cabana ink then adhere it onto the card front along the edge
of the embossed chevrons.
Actually I just had this scrap of Coastal Cabana card
stock on my table. I didn’t even notice that it was stamped with the woodgrain
until after I had the glue on the back and was beginning to adhere it on the
card stock. I guess it was just meant to be huh?
Next stamp the greeting from Sweet Essentials in
Strawberry Slush ink onto the top portion of the Whisper White card stock at an
angle. I got a smudge on the top of the Whisper White card stock (Grr!) so I had to figure out a way to cover it up. To fix this blooper I decided to add a couple patterned banners.
Then take two scraps of DSP (Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana used
here) and run them through the Big Shot with both the straight banner framelits
from the Bitty Banners set. Adhere the two banners together with 2-Way Glue
Pen, then adhere the banners onto the card stock with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use Paper Snips to trim the ends of the banners even with the Whisper White
card Stock.
Finally adhere the Whisper White card stock layer onto
the card front with some glue stick then add the trail of Rhinestones. That’s
it! So bold and so sparkly!
