Hi, and welcome back! It seems as if time as stood still and slipped right by all at once. It's been two weeks since my last card tutorial, what? It's just a very busy time of year for us all, right? None the less, here I am with a new video sharing a few last-minute Christmas cards and tips on using a step by step method to mass-produce them.
I have a quick video tutorial and a step by step tutorials below.
I received these Pebbles Inc. Foiled Foam Letter Stickers in a 2019 Grab Box from Simon Says Stamp, you can watch my video on that here. When I saw them I knew they would great for sentiments, they make for a great focal point on cards.
Okay, let's get started with this step by step tutorial.
Start by creating 4.25" x 5.5" card bases using colored cardstock of your choice
Create a subtle tone on tone directly on the card base with stencils, inks, and blender brushes
Set card bases aside, quick clean up, and move onto the next step
Stamp background image with VersaMark Ink
Add embossing powder
Heat Set
You can add color to the embossed background with colored pencils optional
Ink blend edges of the cardstock using a blender brush, remove excess ink from embossing with a rag
Use a T-ruler and gold gel pen to create a frame directly on the card base around the embossed panel
Add mounting foam to the back of the embossed panel, center on the front of the card base
Center gold foil letters to create sentiments using T Ruler
Create a sentiment strip by stamping the rest of sentiment onto cardstock, add mounting foam and center under the gold sentiment
Finish cards by adding sequins or enamel dots
Pretty easy, right?
