It is a beautiful sunny day today, so I grabbed my camera and took photos of our Play Day projects so I could get some good pictures. This card, in particular, was a bit tricky to get a good picture of, since I wanted the shiny stars to show! Here is a picture:
I REALLY, REALLY love this card! I actually bought the set "on principle"; I want Stampin' Up! to make nice religious stamp sets, and so when they put one out like this, I buy it. But I also am trying to use ALL the stamps I buy (what a concept, right?) so when November Play Day came around, I pulled it out and decided to have a project using it. And what better Designer Series Paper to use than the beautiful Brightly Gleaming with the Copper Foil stars? My goal was to make a simple card without heat embossing, so I stamped the shepherd/sheep image using Night of Navy ink. The Copper Foil and Copper Foil stars in the DSP are gorgeous! I also kept the inside of the card simple:
My recipe for this card:
STAMPS: Light and Peace
CARDSTOCK:
Night of Navy: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
Copper Foil: 4 x 5-1/4
Very Vanilla: 3-7/8 x 5-1/8
Brightly Gleaming DSP: 1-1/2 x 3-7/8
Copper Foil: 1/4 x 3-7/8
SCRAPS: Copper Foil, Very Vanilla
INSIDE:
Very Vanilla: 3-3/4 x 5
INK: Night of Navy
ACCESSORIES: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Ovals Framelits, Magnetic Platform, Big Shot, Dimensionals, Star Designer Elements
HOW TO MAKE IT:
1. Use Night of Navy ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.
2. Stamp sentiment on inside panel of Very Vanilla cardstock using Night of Navy ink. Adhere to inside of card base.
3. Use Night of Navy ink to stamp shepherd image on the left side of the front Very Vanilla cardstock. Adhere strip of Brightly Gleaming DSP to left side of Very Vanilla panel. Adhere strip of Copper Foil to seam.
4. Adhere stamped panel to Copper Foil; adhere to front of card base.
5. Stamp verse on scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock using Night of Navy ink. Cut out using Stitched Shapes Framelit and Big Shot. Cut out scalloped oval from Copper Foil using Ovals Layering Framelits and Big Shot. Adhere sentiment oval to scalloped Copper Foil die cut. Attach to front of card base using dimensionals.
6. Attach star from Star Designer Elements on top of the star in the stamped image.
This card would be very easy to assembly line stamp if you are making a bunch of cards to send out for the Christmas holidays!
Thanks for stopping by to see our Play Day project! Hope you have a wonderful day with lots of crafting time!
Happy stamping,
