Measurements:
BASE: Azure Afternoon CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White CS: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″ , 3/4″ x 4 1/4″
scrap for snowflake die

Whenever I am stamping a larger format stamp image I turn it stamp side up and place the ink pad directly on the stamp image.

I think this gives you better coverage and control as you can see where you are inking!

I stamped the large snowflake image from the Snowy Delights stamp set off the layer above and below – this creates the illusion of expanse!
I stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink.

Using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks #1 and Balmy Blue ink and a blending brush – I colored in the two partial snowflakes.

Using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks #2 and Lost Lagoon ink and a blending brush – I colored in the two partial snowflakes over the Balmy Blue ink.

Using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks #4 and Azure Afternoon ink and a blending brush – I colored in the two partial snowflakes and the empty white space beside the two partial snowflakes.

Using the cluster of smaller snowflakes stamp image in Blueberry Bushel ink I stamped in between the two partial large snowflakes to add depth and texture.

Taking the extra 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer I stamped the large snowflake image off the bottom of the page in Blueberry Bushel ink.

I stamped the inside sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink and blended the bottom edge with a blending brush and Blueberry Bushel ink for added color and texture.

Stamp the outside sentiment to the 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ strip, add the small snowflake stamp to the left-hand edge and blend the edges with a blending brush.

Adhere this layer to the inside of the card base.

Add the large snowflake die to the upper partial snowflake image – matching the die with the image and adhere with Multipurpose Glue.

Turn the layer over to the backside and cut the die that is hanging over the edge off.

Adhere this layer to the card front.

Pop up the sentiment strip on Stampin’ Dimensionals and add to the bottom third of the card front.

Add the new Frosted Iridescent Dots in the Blue color to the card front to finish off this lovely Wintery card in a soft coordinating style.

Try your hand at some masking today and go create some artwork of your very own – one mask- one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

happy 4th – thank a veteran with a card

by nataliegramleystamps | Jul 4, 2025 | card samples, embossing folders, masculine cards, my favorites, stamps ink paper, techniques

The Fourth of July is probably my second favorite holiday after Christmas. I am so very grateful to have been born in this great country! I am also very thankful for the freedoms we so often take for granted.

So I am challenging all of my friends and customers to send a thank you card to a friend or family member that you know that served or is serving in the military – we often do not take the opportunity to let people know how much they are appreciated and this is a perfect example. Do you have someone you know that has sacrificed in service of this special country of ours? Will you rise to my challenge and make and send a thank you card? I hope I inspire you! I didn’t necessarily have a 4rth of July stamp set but if you color the card in red, white and blue and place a thank you sentiment on it that conveys the point!

Measurements:
BASE: Real Red CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
Basic White CS: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″

This is a simple and sweet thank you card.

Brush the top third of the Basic White layer with Real Red ink using a blending brush.

Brush the bottom third of the layer with Blueberry Bushel ink and a different blending brush. Leave the middle white uninked.

Stamp the Spring Corners thank you sentiment on diagonal corners and then stamp the small heart image in between the two sentiments using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Emboss the Basic White stamped layer in your Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine using the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing folder.

Because you blended the ink first and this is a deep 3D embossing folder you may get some white paper crackling through the color – I love this effect! If you do not want this effect color the embossed layer after running through the machine.

Adhere the embossed layer onto the Real Red CS base.

I adhered some white sequins (these are retired sorry but you could use our Iridescent Pearls for the same effect!) on the card front and you can send this patriotic thank you note on it’s way to your favorite veteran – mine is on it’s way to my marine brother-in-law!

Have a wonderful Fourth of July celebration! We are so blessed to be free and able to live in this wonderful Democracy – even though we may not all agree politically – we all have the right to live as we choose and that I am so very thankful for.

Hope that this inspires you to make your own thank you card for someone that you care about! Now go and create some beautiful red,white and blue artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Fourth of July and Happy Stampin’
Natalie

simply stamped heart shaped bundle card

by nataliegramleystamps | Feb 14, 2025 | card samples, card sketches, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, my favorites, Sale-a-bration, techniques

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.
