simply stamped heart shaped bundle card

simply stamped heart shaped bundle card

Today’s blog post is all about FREE stuff! This heart shaped bundle card is made with two different FREE products. The level one Sale-a-bration DSP called Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper creates the die cut heart as the center focal point from the Heart Shaped bundle.

Measurements:
BASE: Blueberry Bushel CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
DSP: scrap for the heart die cut

This card uses the layout #14 from page 22 from the Annual Catalog.

Using a blending brush, brush a circular ink area with Blueberry Bushel ink in the upper center of the Basic White CS layer.
Grab a Water Painter and the Craft White ink pad and add water to the lid of the ink pad. Tap the brush on the edge of a bone folder over the Basic White CS layer and create a splatter pattern over the Blueberry Bushel ink spot.
Adhere the Basic White layer onto the Blueberry Bushel card base.
Die cut the heart outline die from the Heart Shaped bundle from the Bloom Impressions DSP.
Adhere the heart with glue over the Blueberry Bushel area.
Stamp the sentiment below the heart die.
Adhere three Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots around the sentiment in the Blueberry Bushel tones.

I love the little details of this simply stamped card – the white ink splattered color blended background, the DSP die cut heart as the focal point.

Try die cutting DSP and creating a simple card – now go and create some art work of your very own – one stamp at a time!

starry everyday arches card

starry everyday arches card

I decided to use some of the negative die cuts from past cards made with the Everyday Arches bundle from the most recent Online exclusives release and came up with this monochromatic card.

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
Azure Afternoon CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Blueberry Bushel CS: 3 1/2″ x 5″
DSP: scrap for die cut

I use the negative space from the More Color Mondays Azure Afternoon from this past Monday. I die cut the matching size in Blueberry Bushel CS. I die cut the Azure Afternoon scrap two dies smaller than the Blueberry Bushel. I cut the DSP two smaller than the Azure Afternoon CS.

Emboss the card front with the Plaster Painting 3D embossing folder.

Adhere the largest negative die space to the card front and adhere the Blueberry Bushel die.
Stamp the stars on the upper portion of the Azure Afternoon layer with Azure Afternoon ink.

Photopolymer stamps can be manipulated and I flatten the curve of the “reach for the stars” sentiment from the Everyday Arches stamp set.
Stamp the “reach for the stars” sentiment in Blueberry Bushel on the outer edge of the die.

Adhere the smaller Azure Afternoon die inside the Blueberry Bushel die and then adhere the DSP in the center.
Adhere five Basic Rhinestone Jewels to finish off this simply stamped card.

Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!
