A Touch of Ink

This is such a fun card design I made for a friend of mine. I used the free Sale-A-Bration stamp(2021), A TOUCH OF INK to make an interlocking gatefold card. This is a beautiful 2-step stamp set that has the feel of water colors. This idea was inspired by Jennifer McGuire and you can watch her entire tutorial with a variety of different sizes here.

For my card, I started with 4 1/4 x 11 inch piece of Purple Posy cardstock. I scored 2 3/4 from each end. I used Stampin' Up! Rectangle Stitched Dies. I did cut out 3 stitched rectangle for the piece on the left side to give it stability.

For the inside I just stamped a simple sentiment- any stamp will do.

I finished off by finding a matching envelope and stamping it.

This set is just stunning. I didn't fall in love with it util I actually began using it and seeing it fro myself.

If ordering from Stampin' Up! and you do not have a demonstrator, please add my name as your demonstrator before ordering. I would love to help support you in your paper crafting adventures.

Pro. Tip:

Stamp your envelopes. If you are going to the trouble of mailing a card to someone, let the excitement and enjoyment begin before they even open the card. I used the Touch of Ink stamp set for the hummingbird, but I also used the sponged dots in this same set for the border of the card.

It's That Time- Get Well Cards Needed

CTS #156

I have been enjoying playing along with Case This Sketch and the Muse Challenges over the past month. I've really been able to stick with my resolution of submitting cards to weekly design challenges. This week's CAS(E) sketch is pretty straight forward. Emily is the guest designer this week; her blog is so fun to look through. I wanted to create a few of these. Each one turned out a little different. I need some get well cards and thought floral was a perfect focal point for this type of card.

This also fits the criteria for Muse challenge this week. For the Muse challenge, I took inspiration from the tiny butterfly, the floral, and the layout.
