Layer your stamps and stencils for a unique card design that feels interesting and original.
Today Amy is bringing us a fresh floral birthday card design that layered not only the floral stamp using our new “Layered Cosmo” Stamp set, but layers stencils on top of background stamps to create a one-of-a-kind look. Amy said, “This color trio – kraft, white and pink reminds me of Neapolitan ice cream. I don’t layer images often but love the look of the white stenciling on top of the Cheesecloth.” We think this card turned out beautifully. Follow along as Amy shows off how to create a layered stamped floral birthday card.
- Stamp Cheesecloth Background onto a kraft A2 panel with Mocha Ink – Color Fuse Set 3
- Stencil the Flourish Leaf Stencil directly onto the Cheesecloth background with white ink.
- Cut the Swanky Scallop Oval out of white cardstock.
- Stamp the Cheesecloth Background onto a white panel in Mocha Ink – Color Fuse set 3.
- Using a Swanky Oval, die cut the Cheesecloth Background so it is on the diagonal.
- Using a scratch piece of white cardstock, ink blend Rose Ink – Color Fuse Set 5 and stamp the HBD from the All-Occasion Birthday Greetings stamp set in Pecan ink – Color Fuse Set 3 on top.
- Cut out the HBD with a Nested Circle Sm Stitch die.
- Stamp the Layered Cosmos outline in Pecan Ink – Color Fuse Set 3 and layer the coordinating stamps in Rose Ink – Color Fuse Set 5 and Mocha Ink – Color Fuse Set 3.
- Wrap white twine around the kraft panel and thread button through.
- Use a hole punch for the HBD circle sentiment. Clip the circle from the edge so that it goes in the middle of the hole punch, but not beyond the hold punch. You can gently feed the circle underneath the twine and hook it onto it.
- Stack all the elements, starting with an A2 kraft panel with twine – 1. layer Swanky oval on top of the Swanky Scallop oval and use adhesive. 2. Use foam adhesive with the Layered Cosmo on top of the ovals.
