Stamp Simply 2023 Fall/Winter Release- My Church

 

Hi Friends!

This week at the Stamp Simply blog, the Stamp Simply Design Team have been continuing to share cards showcasing the new 2023 Fall/Winter Release.   

My card this week features the My Church Stamp and Die bundle set along with the new Worship and Praise stamp set and two different Ink Drops 6x6 paper pads from Craft Consortium- Candy and Organic.  

If you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, I hope you will do so- absolutely gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

For the sky, trim a piece of the Candy Ink Drops paper to 4” by 3.5” and adhere to the top area of a piece of white cardstock (approx. 4 ¼” x 5 ½”). 

Using the hill dies from the My Church die set, cut a few hills from white cardstock and set aside.

Using the tree line die from the My Church die set, cut a few tree lines from a piece of green Organic Ink drops paper and adhere to the card front (overlapping some of the trees).

Add the first hill die cut, covering the bottom of the trees.

De-static the lower left area of the bottom hill area with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from Worship and Praise stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Add this hill die cut to the card front (overlapping the first hill layer).

De-static another piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the church image from the My Church stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossed image has cooled, water color using distress inks and die with the coordinating My Church die.

Mount the church image onto the panel with dimensional foam and adhere to a white card base.

Finish off the card by adding “snow” with a white paint pen and coloring the bell in the tower with a gold marker.

Summer Roses Sympathy

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing another sympathy card designed with stamps, dies, paper and other supplies from Stamp Simply.   

Unfortunately, it seems as though I am needing more sympathy cards than ever before.  As we get older, this is normally the case....

As many of you who follow my blog know, I enjoy playing along with online challenges and I decided to incorporate the As You See It #AYSI296 “Balance” Challenge for the layout and will also be linking to the Word Art Wednesday #591- #592 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to check out the inspiration from the Stamp Simply Design Team or the other challenge sites, I hope you will take the time to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

This card was another fairly quick one to create (lately, I have been so busy I am trying to design easier cards that are flatter for mailing).

The 4” x 5 ¼” piece of white cardstock for the background was embossed using the Lace embossing folder before trimming and adhering to a piece of black cardstock.

The two rectangle panels (per the sketch) were created with two different patterns from the Candy Ink Drops 6x6 paper (cut to approx. 2” x 3 ¾” and mounted onto black cardstock, trimming close to the edges).

The two panels were overlapped onto the embossed background and the background panel was adhered to a white card base.

The floral image and the “Thinking of You” sentiment from the  Floral Clusters Summer Roses stamp set were stamped onto white cardstock with Versafine Black Onyx Black ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.

The sentiment was die cut with an oval die and mounted onto a black oval (also cut with the same size die).

The floral image was colored with water-based markers and die cut with the coordinating die.  

Mount the floral image die cut onto a plain white die cut (to give the image more stability) and adhere to the card front with dimensional foam.

The “sympathy” sentiment from the Floral Clusters Summer Roses stamp set was stamped using Versamark ink onto black cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Once cooled it was die cut with the Farmhouse Sentiment Banners Dies.

The oval and banner sentiment were layered together before adding to the card front with dimensional foam.

The floral image was added as well with dimensional foam and the card as finished off with a few pearls.
