I've got a card for this week's CASology #23, where the cue word is Gift. I immediately thought of a wooden stamp that I got 2 years ago, when I first discovered stamping.
The entire row of presents is on one long border stamp. Makes it a snap to line up. I stamped two of the gifts onto scrap paper, and fussy cut them, and popped them up with dimensional adhesive. It's hard to see, but I used lots of stickles, too. I used Background Basics Super Stripes to create the striped background on my card base. I used my stamp press, which has grid lines, which made those stripes easy to space.
I am also entering this card into this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge to use a knot.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Gift Border by Carolee Jones, PTI Mixed Messages, PTI Background Basics Super Stripes
Paper: PTI White, Royal Velvet
Ink: PTI Royal Velvet, Winter Wisteria
Other: Tiny Tags Die, Canvas & Linen Impression Plate, Winter Wisteria Saddle Stitch Ribbon
Thanks for Visiting
