Nov 2015 Sunday Stamper Cards

Each month I have a group of ladies who meet to stamp the 3rd Sunday of the month, they are called my Sunday Stampers, today was our November date. Thought I would share with you the cards we made.

First is the Festive Flower Card:

• Card base is Sahara Sand, stamped with Sahara Sand ink using the flower from Reason for the Season stamp set
• Mat of Early Espresso cardstock – 4” x 3”
• Whisper White cardstock 3 ¾” x 2 ¾” – stamped with greeting in the bottom right corner in Early Espresso ink
• Flower made with the Festive Flower Builder Punch
• For the large flower need: 3 1” circles, 8 large petals, 4 small petals and 2 double petals
• Using the Reason for the Season stamp set, stamp petals in the same ink color and sponge ends if desired. I have found it easier with less paper waste if I punch then stamp
• Adhere 4 petals to each circle and 2 double petals together in the center
• Layer with dimensional in between: large petals, large petals, small petals, double petals; in the end you will not see the 1” circles
• I used a Metal Rimmed Pearl in the center
• For a smaller flower use 2 layers of the small petals and 2 double petals
• When I made a flower from glimmer paper, I used glue dots to adhere petals and cardstock for the circles as they adhered much better
• Flower will be adhered to the upper left corner.

Next two cards are the Christmas Wishes (which uses Pacific Point as the main color) and a Snowman Shaker Card:

Snowman Shaker Card (with fun foam layer):

• Fun Foam layer is 3” x 5” (try to use fun foam close to the color of the outside layer)
• Center Fun Foam on the outside layer, turn over and mark a small “X” were you will die cut a circle
• Using the circle die, run through Big Shot cutting both (outside layer & cardstock) at the same time so the cut out shapes match
• Using a 3” square of Whisper White stamp image from Sparkly Seasons Stamp Set in the center of the square. Use various colored markers/pencils to color your image if desired (Sparkly Seasons bundle with matching Seasonal Frame Thinlit Dies
• Stamp Whisper White outside layer with snow globe base and greeting if desire at the top.
• In most cases greetings are 2 parts, one stamped and one die cut using the matching thinlit die
• Adhere window sheet (3” square) to the underside of the WW outside layer
• Adhere stamped image to the fun foam so the image is seen through the circle, add glitter & sequins in well, adhere front layer to seal in glitter/sequins.
