Nature's Beauty - Forever Fern

I started off using the Nature's Beauty Stamp Set today with full intentions of creating a Christmas Card, after adding some elements from the new Forever Fern Stamp Set I decided to create it into a Male Birthday Card. I started by cutting my shape out of the front of the card with my Rectangle Shaped Framelits and cut out a frame from the Ornate Layers Dies using some Adhesive Sheet so it would be easy to adhere to my card. I then sponged a piece of white cardstock with Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Calypso Coral to create the sunset inside the card and stamped some trees with Early Espresso Ink. I stamped my deer in Early Espresso and colored him with my Stampin Blends and fussy cut him out and added him to the inside of my card with Mini Stampin Dimensionals. I then stamped and cut out with my die cutting machine some images from the Forever Fern Bundle. I then adhered them to the side of my card with a birthday sentiment.

Healing Hugs Split Image Technique

I created this card for the #AWLSU057 Casing The Catty Challenge this week, I have used the stamp set Healing Hugs with the Split Image Technique. This is an awesome technique as you are making 2 cards at the same time, it is also a wonderful technique if you need to make a heap of cards at once to post out. I have also used the masking technique as I wanted my flowers to overlap and go under each other. Firstly, you start off with a piece of cardstock that measures 8.5 inches x 5.5 inches and on the long side (8.5 inch side) draw a line from the 4.25 inch mark down the short side. Then on this line you will stamp your images or place your die cuts making sure you go over both sides of the line. When you have finished cut down the 4.25 inch line and you have two card mats all ready to glue to create two cards.

The Challenge



First Start with your piece of cardstock 8.5 inches x 5.5 inches and draw a line down the center at 4.25 inches and stamp on the line and either side of the line, then you cut down that center line.
