Morning All!
It’s Lisa here with a new project and today I’m showcasing one of the recently released Dinkies Stamps. I’ve used Dinkies 3 Owls:
Shaped cards make a nice change from simple squares and rectangles. So I have used a fancy shaped die to create my card blank.
Supplies:
- Dinkies 3 Owls Stamp
- Sentiment from Wavy Elephants Stamp Set
- Memento ‘Tuxedo Black’ and ‘Desert Sand’ Inkpads
- White Stamping Card, Kraft Card and Ivory Card
- Alcohol Pens
- Patterned Paper
- Die Cutting Machine
- 3 Shaped Nesting Dies
- Flower and Leaf Punches, Fancy Oval Die, Pearls and Gems
Step by Step:
To create the shaped card blank:
- Take an A4 piece of ivory card and score/fold in half, you should now have an A6 card blank.
- Place the largest of the three shaped dies onto the card, making sure the edge of the die is over the fold.
- Run through your die cutting machine (Depending on your machine you may need to run it through a couple of times as you are cutting a double thickness of card.
To create the card:
- Using the smallest of the three dies, die cut a piece of patterned paper. Mat onto a piece of kraft card die cut with the middle sized die and fix to the card blank.
- Using black ink stamp the sentiment (from the Wavy Elephants Stamp Set) onto the bottom of the patterned paper.
- Using pale brown ink stamp your Dinkies 3 Owls image onto white stamping card, die cut into an oval and colour in with alcohol markers. Mat onto a fancy oval die cut from ivory card and fix to the card base with foam pads.
- Punch leaves and flowers from some scraps of cards and add to the edge of the fancy oval.
- Decorate with gems and pearls.
