Stampin Up! Catalogue CASE Card Hopeful Thoughts Marker to Stamp Technique

Sadly, we all need a card we can fall back on, when we need to let out friends and family know that we are thinking of them, when life throws us worry, sadness and uncertainty

This is my card

I simply change the choice of tree in the stamp set, when I am making the card for a gentleman, and remove the pink tones.

Today's card is made using Stampin Write Markers

I find this technique really relaxing, as my life is usually running at one pace ... super fast!

so to sit with my makers and make up a batch of cards, helps me to regain my equilibrium

Below you will find the items I have used to create today's card

Before stamping, you need to re-hydrate the ink on the stamp by giving a really good 'Huff' of breath over the stamps surface.

Now for the scoring
Using either the Simply Scored Tool, with the Metric Plate in situ, and score 2 or 3 horizontal lines, taking care to skip the sections where the score line meets any f the stamped images.
