Faux Step Card | Attention Shoppers
Admittedly, I love to shop. And not just for Stampin’ Up! products. The entire “hunt” of shopping is what makes it fun. Finding the ‘right’ color blanket, the perfect decor item, etc. It’s no wonder that the Attention Shoppers Bundle grabbed my attention!
This Bundle has a unique – and valued – feature! The shopping cart can be used to hold all kinds of things. Think of hearts, Christmas decor, Christmas gifts, puppies, kittens…you see where I’m going. The die is exceptional and can be used with a huge array of other stamp sets.
This stepper card includes a double layout utilizing two sections of the card base. You can choose to put both steps on the front of the card or stagger them like I’ve done here.
Use the back of the card to provide an area for writing and signing. I used the smaller panel for additional images.
Faux Step Card | Country Birdhouse
Sympathy cards are among the most difficult to create because we’re looking for peaceful images and sentiments that provide hope. The new Country Birdhouse Bundle (stamp set + coordinating dies) provides a large array of images with greetings that can be used for any occasion regardless of gender.
This Bundle has a “sister” Bundle called Country Flowers. They work perfectly together since the artwork is the same which allows you to mix and match images and greetings from each set/Bundle.
The birdhouse Bundle is extensive. You can stamp the image and color it or you can use the dies by themselves to create the birdhouse. You’ll find the inclusion of flowers and leaves abundant and easy to use.
This single step card allows for larger images to easily fit. Don’t worry if your images hang over the sides of the front panel. There’s plenty of room to create a scene, too!
Magnolia Mood
In addition to the new Annual Catalog, Stampin’ Up! has a large array of products online called Online Exclusives. These products are available while supplies last so snag your favorites when you see them! The Magnolia Mood Bundle (stamp set + coordinating dies) has quickly become a stamping favorite.
This side step card provides a great layout for those pretty designer papers. I chose to stamp a small magnolia image randomly on the designer paper to create a subtle background. This is a great tip when you don’t have the ‘perfect’ designer paper for a specific stamp set.
Stampin’ Blends alcohol-based markers were used to color in the image. If you’re new to these markers, click HERE to view my YouTube playlist which provides lots of uses and tips on how to use them.
While photography has never been fabulous at showing shimmer, these flowers were covered in Wink of Stella. This shimmer pen is perfect for providing simple shimmery touches to your project.
