After making yesterday’s cards I felt inspired to play around with Hero Arts’s Circle Doily cling stamp some more. Plus, in the meantime I got invited to another birthday party of a very dear friend…
Then again, do I really need a reason to make another card? I didn’t think so either.
This time I thought I will use autumnal colors to indicate the season.
Supply
- Stamps – Circle Doily cling stamp, Friend Definition cling stamp, Happy Greetings clear acrylic stamp – all by Hero Arts.
- Cardstock – Bazzill kraft and American Crafts Earth Tones cardstock pack.
- Ink – Versamark and Distress Ink in Antique Linen.
- Embossing powder – Ranger.
- Tools – Corner Chomper, Precision scissors, Heat tool.
- Other – string, paper flower, jewel.
How To
- Start by cutting and folding the card base (cut at 8½” by 5½” and fold at 4¼”).
- Stamp the big definition stamp on the card base with a very light ink color (Antique Linen).
- Stamp the doily with Versamark ink on the red cardstock and pour over some white embossing powder. Tap off the excess and heat emboss with a heat gun.
- Cut around the doily with precision scissors and adhere to the card’s front.
- Cut a small slit on the card’s fold and feed a string through it, make sure both end will “meet” at the front of the card.
- Feed the ends through the flower, add a couple foam adhesive dots to the flower for an extra hold and adhere in place.
- Feed the ends through the button holes and tie in a bow. Secure the bow with a dot of clear adhesive and conceal the adhesive with a gem.
- Stamp the greeting with white embossing powder on the same red cardstock. Apply embossing powder. Tap off the excess powder and heat emboss.
- Cut around the greeting, leave some more room at the end pointing inwards and round both corners of that end with a corner rounder. Adhere in place.
