I n this video tutorial I will be sharing how to make 2 different cards, using the SU "So Much Happy" stamp set and "Happy Dies".
Project Recipe
Whisper White, Cut 2- 5 1/4" x 4" blanks
Card Stock of choice, Cut 1 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" card base and score at 4 1/4" on long side.
Scrap of Whisper White for sentiment
Extra scrap for testing stamparatus
Set up Stamparatus as shown in video.
Place one scrap piece of WW card stock in place, and place the stamps in the location you desire.
Move plate over the stamps to pick them up.
Using a stamp pad, ink up the stamps and do a test print. Repeat if necessary to get everything in place.
Aligning the plate at the top most position,
Stamp the "HAPPY" and "Balloons" in your choice of colors. You may reink and restamp to achieve desired level of color.
Move the Plate down on position and repeat the step above using your choice of colors.
Continue to move down until you have stamped "Happy" 4 times.
Using your Stampin' Write Markers, add a bow and string to each balloon, if desired.
Stamp "Birthday" on a scrap piece of WW card stock and cut out using the "Banners PIck a Punch" or whatever you have to use.
Adhere it to the bottom of the card front using dimensionals.
Card Base: Cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" from your choice of card stock, score at 4 1/4"
Adhere the stamped card front to the card, and one of the WW card inserts 5 1/4" x 4"
You may choose to stamp a balloon and string to the inside piece before adhering.
Project 2: "HAPPY" using Dies.
Cut 1 card base using card stock color of choice
8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4" on long side.
Cut 1 card insert using Whisper White card stock,
5 1/4" x 4"
Adhere the "happy" die at the bottom of the card base, centering with approximately 1 1/4" on either side of the sentiment.
Using the Stampin' Cut Emboss machine, run the card stock and die through.
Remove any extra pieces.
Cut a strip of card stock in your color choice, or vellum, 5 1/2" x 1 1/2". Adhere behind the "HAPPY" to give more stability. note: you may also leave it as is.
Using 3 different colors of DSP, cut out the "Happy" as in the last step. Trim and assemble as shown in video/photos.
Using Balloon , ribbon, bow dies, cut out 2 of each in color of your choice.
Attach balloons using dimensional and adhere string and bow with glue.
If desired, stamp a balloon and string to the inside piece of Whisper White card stock and then adhere to the inside of card. You may also stamp "Birthday" or some other sentiment inside.
I hope you have enjoyed these projects!
God Bless!
