1- See the above Box Cutting Template and cut the largest scrap piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. Before adding it to the cardbase, cut out the center with a 1” border. This will give you a piece that is 2” x 3 ¼” (save for card #6) See video for instructions.

Then add it to the Crumb Cake Cardbase.


2- Cut a small sliver from the edges of the envelope so it open to the full pattern. Cut off the bottom at 2 ½” to create a piece that is about 2 ½” x 3 5/8”. Add this to the center of the cardbase over the opening with dimensionals.


3- Stamp your greeting in a coordinating color. I used Copper Clay. Add to the bottom right area with dimensionals.

4- Add some Gold Sequins near the greeting.

1- Begin by opening the box template from the kit so it lays flat. I did this by removing a small 1/16” strip from one of the folded edges. Then cut down the score lines along the flap of the box. This will give you a large rectangle with a triangle shape at the top. Measure 4 ¾” from the tip of the triangle and cut, to give you a shorter shape. See video for visual step by step instructions.


2- Add two coordinating ribbons about ½” above the corners on the banner. I used the large Natural Ribbon from the Combo Pack see the above listing & the Copper Clay Textured Ribbon. Fray the ends if you want.


3- Add the Large Branch Die Cut from the kit with dimensionals to the right side.

4- Stamp your greeting above the Ribbons and to the left of the die cut, with a neutral ink color, I used Pebbled Path.


5- Emboss a piece of Cardstock 4” x 5 ¼” and add to the front of the cardbase of similar color (Mossy Meadow).


6- Add the Banner so the top edge meets with the embossed paper and is in the center with dimensionals. Add some Gold Sequins.

All Done!

One Layer Card TIPS & TECHNIQUES - September 2023 Global Stampin' Video Hop - How To Create Layers With Stamps & Colors

It is time for another tutorial for the Global Stampin’ Video Hop on YouTube. Each month on the fourth Friday Stampin’ Up Demonstrators from around the world come together and share their projects based on a monthly theme. September’s Theme is – One Layer Cards. I am so excited to see what everyone creates.


This was such a great challenge. I tend to add a lot of layers to my cards so today I am keeping things simple. There are some great tips & techniques that I share in the tutorial below that can give one layer cards some pizzazz.


I hope you are inspired today as you see all the fun techniques from everyone while jumping from video to video. If you are inspired to make a project from something you see today please share it with us, we would love to see what you come up with. You can tag me @creativechelsey in any social media post.


Make sure to check out what everyone makes for this monthly Video Hop. You can start with my video, I have linked it below. You can find the next video at the top of the video’s description on YouTube. Have fun!

Here are a couple other ideas you can make with the same techniques used for the original card:

Product List


Here are the dimensions and pieces you will need to create this card:

Thick Basic White Cardbase – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Sponge Craft Brush

 


1- Begin by decided what shape and size you want to mask for your greeting. Add it to the card front where you are going to stamp your greeting. For this card I cut a 1” x 5” strip from Masking Paper and added it about 2” from the bottom of the card.


2- Stamp your images around the masked area. I used almost all the images from the Artistically Inked Set. If you want to add a multi color image for more depth, use a Sponge Dauber to add a darker ink after inking first in the lighter ink.

Soft Sea Foam – Background image on top and bottom of the masked strip

Calypso Coral & Pumpkin Pie – Large Flower in bottom left corner


Daffodil Delight & Crushed Curry – Smaller Flower one on bottom and one on top of masked strip

Old Olive – Leaves near flowers


Pumpkin Pie – Tiny Flowers

Early Espresso – Dots


3- Add Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the center of the flowers, use a sponge craft brush to spread out slightly. Add some small glue drops. I also added a little glue along the edges of the masking strip. Let dry.


4- Remove the Masking Paper. If it is too tacky you can heat it with a Heat Tool on low setting.  See video.


5- Once dry the glue should be tacky. Add Gilded Leafing over the glue. Remove excess Gilded Leafing.


6- Stamp your greeting in the opening from the masked area. I used Early Espresso ink.

All Done!
