Hello wonderful stampers! Anakin here is sleeping snuggly in his cat bed. I believe he will be rejuvenated after his nap. I find stamping to be instrumental in rejuvenating my spirit. That’s why I love to stamp as much as I can!
Don’t worry if you are short on time. Sometimes I just stamp for 10 or 15 minutes at a time. If you follow the instructions for this adorable card, you will have it made in no time at all.
The supplies you will need for this card will be listed below. I am using the same materials and stamp set at the previous post, with the addition of another color of ink. However, I will put the measurements for the cardstock here. The Whisper White card base is the standard 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches, folded in half. In Whisper White you will also need a 2 x 1 1/2 inch piece and a 5 x 2 1/4 inch piece. In addition, cut a 2 1/4 x 1 1/2 inch piece of Pineapple Punch, and a 5 1/4 x 2 1/2 inch piece of Granny Apple Green.
To get started, use the “I just adore you” sentiment with Memento ink of the small Whisper White piece. Adhere the stamped piece to the Pineapple Punch rectangle.
As we did in the last post, we are going to do 2 step stamping to make the poppies. Begin by using the more detailed poppy first. This is stamped in Mango Melody.
Now use the less detailed poppy to complete the 2 step stamping of the poppy. This is also stamped in Mango Melody.
Next use the Pineapple Punch ink to stamp the more detailed poppy followed by the less detailed poppy as shown.
On the left is the completed poppies. Take care to hold onto your block or you will have something like what is shown on the right!
Remove the extra ink with a baby wipe or moist cloth.
New Technique. Next we are going to make a mask. This will allow us to stamp the stems and leaves on without covering up the poppies. First stamp the less detailed poppy onto the non-sticky side but on the sticky end of a sticky note. You want the sticky part to be on back of the stamped image. Now you will use the Paper Snips to carefully cut out the image.
Stick the mask over one of the poppies. Stamp the stems on the poppies above the masked poppy.
Continue to stamp the stems onto the poppies, moving the mask as needed.
Use the mask as needed to stamp on the leaves. Adhere the completed poppy piece to the Granny Apple Green rectangle.
Adhere the Granny Apple Green piece to the left side of the card base.
We will lift the sentiment piece up a little using Stampin Dimensionals. These are little foam hexagons with sticky on both sides. Tip: I always put at least one in the center to prevent the elevated piece from getting flattened out.
And now you have an adorable card to share with someone you adore!
