What I love Suite Sayings Multi Step How To Technique Card Stampin Up! UK

Today I am showing you how to create beautiful flowers using a Multi-Step Stamping Technique. It is much easier than you would think. And that is because all of Stampin Up!s Multi-Step Stamp Sets are photopolymer, and each stamp has a little tab that allows you to line up the different layers of stamping pretty accurately. It is also a great technique for trying out different colour combo's and seeing the results.. In the example above, I used Blushing Bride for the base step, and a stamping off technique for the intermediate stamp using Rose Red ink pad, and then the final layer I used the rose red ink pad again, but this time without stamping off.

If you can take time to watch the video below, you will see that I have used a different combination of colours and results in a much more subtle effect.

The other differences, is that the Confetti TIEF (Embossing Folder) has been used with the d-bossed side in the picture above, and in the video, I have used the Embossed side of the cardstock.

By changing things around, you can re-create the same card design with multiple end results making your craft supplies both versatile and cost effective.

Sale A Bration Party Pants A6 Fancy Fold Box Card Wildflower Fields Stampin Up! UK

Today I have a different take on  the Box cards that are so popular at the moment. This vox card is large. In fact it would be large enough for you to add a 7 cm base so you could easily add a gift in the centre section.
The Toppers for the card are at opposing angles on one corner to five added detail. 
I have used the Sale A Bration Wildflower Meadow Designer Series Paper in the top card, and another of Stampin Up! Designer Series Paper in the example in today's video How To Tutorial.

Tutorial
1.  Trim your cardstock to 30 x 14.8 cms; Score the long side at 7; 14; 21;  & 28 cms. Run a strip of Tear & Tape along the smaller tab and join the ends of the card together to make a square base.

2.  Trim 3 pieces of Designer Series Paper to 14.4 x 6.6 cms & one piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 14.4 x 6.6 cms (the back section for witting on)

3. Using the 2 1/2" Circle Punch, and punch one in Mossy Meadow Cardstock, and the other in Delightful Dijon Cardstock

4.  Using the 2" Circle Punch, punch one from Hello Honey Cardstock and one from Mossy Meadow (do these as the opposite combo's to the larger punched circles)

5.  Using the 1 3/4! punch, punch one from the reverse side paper that you have used on the front of the card; & one from Mossy Meadow Cardstock
6.  Stamp your Sentiment onto the small punched circle from the Sale A Bration Fancy Pants and another on the back White panel. Layer up the circles

7.  Lay the card flat with the white panel at the back of the card. Apply Adhesive to the opposite half of each layered circle and place then centrally over the score line of the card front.

8.   Open the Box Card out and you should have two layered circles facing at right angles to one another.; Add a few It's My Birthday Enamel Dots and you are done.
