EasyStamparatus Stamping! Stampin' Up!

Ah...the Friday of a long weekend here in Canada!  I hope you get an opportunity to get outside and enjoy the weather, and the beautiful fall colours! The best!

I have a quick video for you, plus the measurements for this card!

 In this video I'm demonstrating the fabulous Stamparatus! Talk about making stamping easy!! 

Make one card or multiples with this awesome stamp positioning tool.
Remember to share my videos to be entered into my Prize Patrol Draw!

Start with the base of the card. Lovely Lipstick cut at 4 1/4 x 11 & scored at 5 1/2 (all in inches) 

Basic Black layer - 2 1/8 x 5 3/8

Whisper White layer - 2 x 5 1/4

Whisper White inside layer - 4 x 5 1/4

Per the video, place your Whisper White layer in the Stamparatus.  I used Lovely Lipstick ink for the sentiment from the Floral Frames Stamp set.

This stunning rose image is from Healing Hugs.  I stamped directly onto the card base using the Stamparatus for two of the roses, then again onto a scrap piece of Lovely Lipstick cardstock. It was super easy to fussy cut the rose.  I popped it up on dimensionals for added depth.

Using the same rose, I stamped off the ink, pressing lightly onto my grid paper, then onto the Whisper White inside layer.  I love the softness of the image achieved by stamping off.

I added a few Faceted Dots for a finishing touch!

Simple & pretty!

Now....I have a few exiting bits of news for you:

A Timeless Tidings card with Stamparatus - Stampin' Up!

It's a rainy day in paradise, and I couldn't be happier!  Do you ever find that regardless of rain, snow, heat, or whatever Mother Nature throws at us, we can choose to be happy?  I choose happy!

Let's get to the card I made this morning! 

My feature product this week is the Stamparatus, which is the best stamp positioning tool on the market!  

Yay, Stampin' Up!

Cut all the required piecing, starting with the base of the card. Mossy Meadow cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 & scored at 4 1/4 (all in inches).  Next the Mossy Meadow layer - 3 1/2 x 5 1/2, Merry Merlot strip - 1 1/2 x 5 1/2, and the Whisper White inside layer - 4 x 5 1/4.

Place the Mossy Meadow layer into the Climbing Vine embossing folder, and run it through the Big Shot, then adhere it to the card base.   Next, emboss the Merry Merlot strip using the Corrugated embossing folder.  Use ample Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to adhere this layer.

Please follow my instructions on the video on how to place the two stamps from Timeless Tidings in the Stamparatus. I went with the same colour combo for the inks as the base & layer, and Whisper White for the sentiment layer.  Can you see the 'stitching' on the Whisper White layer? That's from one of the Stitched apes Framelit Circle die!  A lovely addition!  Take a Layering Circle Die & run it through the Big Shot with a Champagne foil piece.  Adhere the sentiment layer to the die cut foil circle, and pop it up with Dimensionals.  Add 3 pearls to the layer.

I wanted a rustic look, thus the colour combo, and a little help from Wink of Stella.  I meant to use clear, but I used white, so it has a paint-splatter look, which I don't mind.

From Timeless Tidings, I stamped the trees & sentiment in Mossy Meadow, leaving lots of room for a personalized note.

And, the finished card.  Sweet & simple!
