Hello and welcome to my Stamp With Janine – A Fanatical Stamper Blog if this is your first visit and you have come across from my Picture To Page Facebook post. To coincide with the cancelled Picture to Page Show here in Melbourne that would have been running today and across the weekend, I will be posting tutorials and tips here on my blog. This is so I can engage with you virtually instead of what I was so looking forward to, face to face after all this time in lockdown. Sadly not to be so let’s do the next best thing and share virtually!
The first tutorial I am sharing is for this pretty Clean & Simple card using the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle. I adore clean & Simple style cards. I find them easy to do however others find they can’t cope with all that free space.
Use this tutorial as a layout idea for your clean & simple card. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination! Look at your stash and see what you can create.
You will need :-
Card base – Half an A4 card sheet cut in portrait – 10.5 x 29.7 cm, folded in half, Thick Basic White Card used here
Card mat – 9.5x 13.85 cm, Thick Basic White used here
Stamps and sentiments of choice, Gorgeous Leaves stamp set & Intricate Leaves dies used for my card. Sentiment came from Welcoming Woods
Scrap Basic White card for stamping and die cutting stamped image
Inks of choice , Soft Suede and Mossy Meadow were my ink colours
Copper embossing powder, Versamark ink pad, Heat tool
- Stamp background image of choice as per card photo.
- Stamp sentiment of choice using Versamark ink, apply embossing powder and heat set using a Heat Tool .
- Stamp feature images and die cut using dies and Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine.
- Add Dimensionals to the back of the card mat and apply centrally to the folded card front.
- Add Dimensionals to the back of the die cut images and adhere over the background stamped images on the card mat.
If you haven’t tried a clean & simple card before please give it a try. You might find a new style of card making you love!
Happy Stamping!
Janine
