Birthday Card ~ One Layer Frame Scene Tutorial

Today, for Technique Time at Unity, I am showing a way to create a stamped one layer frame scene for a birthday card.  The scene is one layer but I also added stamped sentiment tags.

Sentiment:  Celebrate.  Let the good times begin.

Here are helpful tips for creating this one layer frame scene.  To begin, add distress ink blending onto cardstock.  I used the frame stamp backing as a guide for blending placement within the frame area.  Next, stamp the frame onto the distress ink layer.  Then, dry or heat set everything.  Next, stamp and heat emboss the lanterns and the sentiment over the blended section inside the frame.  Also, stamp and trim small tag accents.  Finally, adhere the frame scene layer to the card base.  Optional, add accent tags and adhesive gems to finish.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

Nautical wedding card with paper strips + laminator foiling.

Hello.  Today, I am sharing a nautical themed wedding card.  It includes background paper strips and also gold laminator foiling.

Sentiment:
Mr. & Mrs. Best Wishes

For this nautical themed card, first, prepare your stamping for laminator foiling.  I decided to heat emboss the sentiment onto vellum.  Other options including deco foil transfer gel.  Next, to add foil, place a trimmed deco foil sheet, pretty side up, over the prepared stamped panel.  Once laminated, set the foiling aside to cool.  Meanwhile, trim strips of navy cardstock at least 1/4 inches per strip.  Then, adhere them to the card base to make a striped background.  Next, gently peel away the foil from the stamped sentiment.  For vellum paper, add clear double-sided tape behind the sentiment areas and then adhere the panel over the background section.  To finish, add cording and/or an anchor accent.  


I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

Here are tips for making this card.  First, die-cut the background, the tulip frame and the bow pieces.  Also, use coordinating patterned paper for each section.  Next, align the sentiment within the frame.  Then, heat emboss the sentiment onto the background panel.  For added texture and dimension, pop up some of the pieces using foam tape.  Adhere and layer everything to finish.

For today, I am sharing a mini bunny note card and envelope for Easter time.  This was die-cut from mint and ivory cardstock.  The sentiment was stamped and a bit of Copic coloring was added to the bunny ears.  This was quick and easy to make.  It would be a sweet little greeting for someone or added to an Easter basket.
