Last night’s Spotlight with Lisa live Facebook event was lots of fun!  I know some of you aren’t on Facebook or may have missed the live session so I’ve included the recording/video in today’s blog post – along with a free tutorial for the project I demonstrated.

In addition to the card I demonstrated I also shared a few other cards using the same stamp set (Heart Happiness) and dies (Sweet & Sassy Framelits).  Both of these products are INCLUDED in January’s Studio Stamps in the Mail (SSITM) edition along with free pre-cut supplies to make 8 cards; 2 each of 4 different designs. My SSITM includes a video and a PDF tutorial making it easy for you to stamp along with me from home.  Ordering for the January SSITM ends on Sunday so don’t miss the deadline.  You can find ordering details and read about the basic supplies you will need HERE.

I’ve included written instructions below for the “Amazing You” card along with a free PDF tutorial if you would like to save this project for a later day. Supplies for this card are listed at the bottom of this post with picture icons. If you click on the images they will navigate you to a larger image.

Don’t forget to check out my Project PDF Tutorial Library for more project tutorials that feature complete card collections and fancy folds.  Click HERE to view the library. All the supplies can be purchased in my online store.  I provide generous ordering REWARDS, too!

Measurements

• Whisper White (base) – 4 ¼” x 11”, scored at 5 ½” and folded in half
• Whisper White – scrap
• Gold Foil – 2” x 4”
• Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets – 2” x 4”
• Basic Black – scrap

Directions

1. Tear a piece of washi tape in half-length wise and adhere near the bottom of the card base as shown.
2. Using white scrap cardstock, gently rub the paper using the Embossing Buddy. Stamp the heart image using VersaMark ink. Immediately cover the image using the gold embossing powder and heat set.
3. Using the Aqua Painter, add areas of Melon Mambo and Calypso Coral ink sporadically. Squeeze the closed ink pad and open it up. Pick up ink from the inside lid of the pad. Do not over saturate the paper or it will pill. Let dry or heat set to speed up the drying process.  Die cut the image using the coordinating framelit. Adhere the heart to the left side of the washi tape using Dimensionals.
4. Adhere the gold foil sheet to the adhesive sheet by releasing the paper backing on one side of the adhesive sheet. Die cut the greeting using the ‘amazing’ thinlit. Remove the paper back from the back of the die, revealing the sticky side. Adhere it across the center of the heart and card base as shown.
5. Using black scrap cardstock, gently rub the paper using the Embossing Buddy. Stamp the work “you” using VersaMark ink. Immediately cover the image using the white embossing powder and heat set. Trim the cardstock to frame the word. Adhere to the card base, under the foil greeting as shown, using a Mini Dimensional.
6. Adhere several gold sequins as shown using Fine-Tip Glue. Let dry.
