    I’m going to share two different cards made using the same set, 1900 Cars set 285. For the travel card above, I used two different map papers, a new banner die set and labels 17  from Spellbinders. The antique autos on both cards were colored using a combination of  markers and Prismacolor pencils. For the Travel greeting, I used a bookplate die and bowed it slightly when I attached it.

    On the Classic card below, I cut out the roadster and also an extra left side (facing the viewer) and layered it on the base image for a little extra dimension. The background scene was stamped, masked, sponged and then colored w/ markers. The white frame used a lg oval Spellbinders die and a dot border embossing folder which I used a stylus to hand emboss around the frame.  Both cards measure 5.5 x 4.25. The Travel and Classic cards w/ full instructions are also on the SNS website.

    Delicate Swirls Butterfly Stamp Line

    For my card, I picked the Tropical Dramaturgy from  color link site Betsy gave us. I love tropical colors and I tried to incorporate as many as i could. I first made the background on lightweight water color paper by painting bands of dye reinker colors with a large paintbrush onto the dry paper. I used part of it for the background and I  black embossed the butterflies on the rest.  The narrow black frame was a leftover piece from another project where I had die cut some squares out of it.

    For the banner, I stamped the image w/ lighter colored ink, cut it out and used the reverse side. The daisy border was also painted w/ dye reinkers after it was punched.  The little black butterflies were punched out of black embossed c/s. The finished card measures 5.5 x 4.25.

  • ISC April Release Day 1!

    Julie Warner - justwritedesigns - https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.comI used two colors of ink from a rainbow ink pad to stamp the images on my card. Two sizes of circle dies were used to cut them out. After stamping the butterflies, I used Versamark all over them and embossed on top w/ clear ep to add a little shine. The sentiment was die cut and a narrow grosgrain ribbon was tied in a bow. The lower edge of the dp was punched w/ a decorative punch. The finished card measures 4.25 x 5.5.

    These small-dainty images add a lovely touch to your creation! Here are a few tips to consider:

    • Use a 1 ¼” or 1” circle or square punch
    • Use glossy accents on top of punched image and let dry. Punch holes before you apply the dimensional glue to give them a button effect – then affix on your card
    • Create your own bauble!
    • These images fit nicely in Memory Frames by Ranger
    • Affix with glue on top of flat brads to give your artwork a final touch
    • Affix with glue on a paper clip
