Welcome to The Joyful Stamper blog, where you'll discover that you can be creative and you can make something pretty! I encourage you to give card making a try and know that you can always reach out to me for help.
Every Saturday, I post the weekly sketch from Splitcoaststampers (a favorite place of mine) and also show you my take on it. The best part is that you can make what I make because I have a video and written instructions for you!
This past Monday, 3 friends and I met to stamp the day away. We each brought a project to share (those will be shared in a future post) and this one was mine. There are a lot of details and techniques in this autumn card, but they are easy and add up to something WOW!
The full supply list is in the clickable image at the end of this post. I'll point out the tips and tricks. 🌞Joyful Stamper Tip #1: See those metallic leaves inside the card? They were cut from the label on the card front (the Brushed Metallic one behind the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper label)! The cut portion is covered by the top label. This paper-saving trick stretches your use of that precious metallic paper!
🌞Joyful Stamper Tip #2: Gently separate a 6-1/2" length of Braided Linen Trim and pull out 3 strands. Fold the trim in half and tie the 3 strands in a knot around the folded trim. Adhere the piece beside your sentiment with a Mini Glue Dot. Isn't that rustic look fabulous?
🌞Joyful Stamper Tip #3: After stamping the collage on Very Vanilla cardstock (images are from the Gather Together set in the Holiday catalog), run it through your Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine with the Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder. The texture is divine - run your fingers over it and see if you don't agree!
🌞Joyful Stamper Tip #4: This tip is the one that made me most excited - use your Stampin' Blends (Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze in my sample) to color the large leaf image. Before die-cutting, outline each leaf with a Dark Mint Macaron Stampin' Blend. The effect makes those leaves pop off your card!
