Hi Friends!
Today, I am sharing
a card designed using the brand new release stamp sets, Patriotic Background and the Liberty Bell Bundle from Stamp Simply.
I love all of the
patriotic stamp sets from Stamp Simply and both of these stamp sets are perfect for Memorial
Day, Fourth of July, Veteran’s Day and other patriotic cards!
Those of you who follow my blog know that I enjoy participating in online card challenges and incorporated the Inkspirational #317 Word Prompt- Frame Challenge and the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge Featured Designer Jeanie #249 (Left to Right Diagonal- Layers- Fun Fold- Gems or Sequins) .
I hope you will find the time to visit the above challenge sites for inspiration as well as the rest of my Design Team sisters at Stamp Simply- absolutely gorgeous cards by all!
To create this card:
Create the easel
base (see tutorial
at Splitcoaststampers here) by cutting a piece of 8 ½” x 11” white
cardstock in half (each piece should be 4 ¼” x 11”).
Score one piece at 5
½” and again at 2 ¾”.
For the card front –
ink the Patriotic Background stamp using Versafine Black Onyx ink, stamp onto two separate pieces of white cardstock.
Layer one of the
images onto dark navy cardstock.
Die cut a rectangle
from white cardstock, vintage the edges using distress oxide ink.
Cut a piece of
vellum to approx. 4 ⅛” x 5 ¼”. De-static
the lower right hand area with an embossing powder tool, stamp the verse
sentiment from Liberty Bell using Versafine Black Onyx ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat
tool.
Layer the vellum
behind the die cut frame and adhere to the card front.
Mount the card front
onto the easel panel.
Use the second
background image for the lower panel- cut the background above where the
sentiment could be stamped and adhere to a piece of dark navy cardstock.
Trim pieces of white
cardstock into thin strips (to create a frame), distressing with oxide ink to
“antique” the cardstock.
Cut a piece of
vellum to approx. 4 ⅛” x 3 ¾” , de-static the lower area of the vellum with an
embossing powder tool, stamp the “Let Freedom Ring” sentiment from Liberty Bell using Versafine Black Onyx ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat
tool.
Adhere the vellum
panel onto the background, adding the strips of distressed cardstock to the
edges to create a frame.
Ink the bell, bow
and wood image from the Liberty Bell Bundle with Versafine Black Onyx ink, stamp onto white cardstock and color with water-color
pencils. Use a silver metallic paint pen to add highlights to the bell image.
Die cut each image with
their coordinating die. Assemble the
bell, wood and bow image together and adhere to the card front with dimensional
foam.
Add a strip of lace at the top of the card front.
Die cut a few stars from navy cardstock and add to the lower panel.
Add a strip of designer paper to cover up the rest of the card base on the lower panel and add a few red rhinestones to finish off the card.
