Gatefold Card | Elephant Parade

It’s no secret – we are in “baby mode” here at the Stamp Studio. Gina and Cody are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first child which makes me a first-time Nana! And I have to admit, I’m pretty excited as we await these next 5 weeks.

The best part about the Elephant Parade stamp set is the varied images and greetings. Regardless of age or gender, this adorable stamp set can’t help but put a smile on the receiver’s face.

I colored the image using Stampin’ Blends alcohol-based markers which was easily die cut using the coordination in this Bundle. I die cut a few pieces of grass to coordinate with my designer paper and the circle die easily houses the focal point.

The magic to this card is the suspension of the image that provides a floating appearance. 

And the backside is perfect for adding a layer for your sentiment and handwritten message. With lots of panels, there are lots of options!

Gatefold Card | Ginkgo Branch

Classy is the perfect description for this card. The beautiful Textured Chic DSP and Brushed Gold Foil give this card lots of pizzazz. Ahh, the power of beautiful designer paper and speciality foils!

While the Ginkgo Branch dies are intended to have open centers in most of the image. I opted to keep most of the pieces in tact for when using this designer paper. While die cutting the branches, I was careful to keep them aligned and simply added tape to the backside to secure them in place.

Gold embossing powder (part of the Metallics Embossing Powders) gives the perfect coordination to the designer paper and foils. Don’t miss the embossing additions tool kit. The pieces in this kit make heat embossing easy and flawless. Details are in the project sheet below.

Gatefold Card| Cup of Tea

Whether hot or cold, I love a good cup of tea! The Cup of Tea Bundle (stamps + dies) are easy to use, especially paired with their coordinating Tea Boutique designer paper.

Oval dies provide an incredible impact! The Framed Florets Dies include several oval shapes and designs from basic oval shapes to decorative oval frames.

Small details, like the baker’s twine tea tag, provide a lot of emphasis to your card. Don’t miss the small things like gems, ribbon, twine, etc. They are inexpensive to add and easy to incorporate into any project.
