Begonia Belle Repeat Image Thank You Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the rose bud image from the Begonia Belle stamp set in a repeating pattern.  This is easily accomplished with the assistance of the Stampin' Positioner.  This tool opens up a whole new world of options for your creativity. 



By fussy cutting out an image, popping it up and adding some pearls, this row of images goes from meh to Wow just like that!



Techniques include repeat stamping, fussy cutting and two-step stamping.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

By using the Stampin' Positioner you have a secure and stable placement of your stamp and cardstock, so if the first time you stamp an image, it's a little light or incomplete in an area, you simply push down the top plate again to fill in the gaps, helping you to get a solidly stamped image every time!   No more wasted cardstock because of a poorly stamped image. That's just one of the benefits of this tool.

Another benefit is fool proof stamping when creating multiple cards with the same image, or for messages on the inside of your card.  Avoid the disappointment of having your card front completed, and then having a mishap when stamping the inside.  This takes away the frustration and gives you a perfectly aligned and solidly stamped message every time.

And...as shown in this card, repeating an image multiple times in a row is a breeze with the small top plate and posts positioned at the top for you to move along. 

Clean up is also very easy.  With stamp on plate, use your shammy to clean, or run under faucet to remove ink and dry.

Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Birthday Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the NEW! Hot Foil System Sweetly Sentimental stamp and die bundle.  The large, elegant flower makes a stunning focal point for the simple sentiments that feature a metallic finish.  




Techniques include two step stamping and using the Hot Foil System. 

This was my first card using the Hot Foil technique.  I had my stamp club group over and before we wrapped up the evening, I unpacked it and plugged it in.  My friend Sandy chose the colors the for the leaves and flowers, and we chose the pink foil for the sentiments.  It turned out beautifully!

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

To get even stamping when using a larger stamp the Stampin' Positioner is a must have tool.  The outline image on today's card can fit on Block E when positioned diagonally on the block, however, because of the size, the Stampin' Positioner is the better tool.  

The Stampin' Positioner keeps the stamp in place so if your first attempt at stamping leaves areas that aren't solid, you can simply set it back down on the image, press the area that needs a more solid stamping, and not worry if the alignment will be right or not.  This is just one of the benefits of the Stampin' Positioner.  It's a multipurpose tool that saves you so much time when making multiple cards with the same image or message.  It also has a smaller plate to use when wanting to repeat an image with even spacing on a card or scrapbook page.

======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Sweetly Sentimental bundle (Save 10% when you purchase stamp set & hot foil die with bundle item#)
  • Old Olive cardstock 
    • card base  5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
  • Melon Mambo cardstock
    • 5-1/8 x 3-7/8 panel
  • Basic White cardstock
    • 5 x 3-3/4
  • Secret Sea two-tone cardstock (Light side)
    • 5 x 3-1/2 
  • Pink Foil
    • 5 x 3-1/4
  • Basic Gray Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Old Olive Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Highland Heather Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Melon Mambo Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Berry Burst shiny ribbon
  • Mini Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Hot Foil System
  • Stampin' Positioner (optional)
  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Using Stampin' Positioner, place cardstock on plate, position stamp, ink stamp with Basic Gray, stamp onto Basic White cardstock.


Ink flower fill stamp with Highland Heather, line up and stamp.  Ink all three leaf stamps with Old Olive, stamp in corresponding areas.


Ink small flower cluster and two single flowers with Melon Mambo, stamp in accent flowers.



Adhere Melon Mambo cardstock panel to folded card front, adhere Basic White stamped panel onto Melon Mambo cardstock.



Using the Hot Foil system (Follow all instructions included with system or watch video), place foil onto Hot Foil die once plate is heated and ready, place two-tone cardstock with light side on foil, add shim and plate, slowly run through Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.  Remove plate, shim & foil, position die over sentiments, die cut.


Adhere "sending bunches of love" label at upper left of card, and Happy Birthday at lower right.  Tie ribbon into bow, place at lower left of large flower.


Here's what the inside looks like:

Since there are so many lovely labels and sentiments, it's easy to pair a couple for the message inside.  

I chose to add a 5-1/4 x 1 strip of Melon Mambo cardstock near the top, place a 3 x 2-1/4 Basic White piece over the center and then add the messages.
