Masculine Card

The Book Lovers set of digital stamps has a number of mix and match images that allow you to build up a little scene. I've used one of the book stacks plus the cup and old-fashioned glasses for this card, which I intend to give to one of my brothers for his birthday.

Problem Solved

I'm happy to announce that the issue with the gift certificates and store credit seems to be resolved. Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding while the engineers worked on the problem. Happy shopping!

Open Space

I chose to leave a lot of open space on this card... although I have to admit, it might be a little too much and could end up with a bird or three before it actually gets used. The image was printed along with the sentiment, then coloured, fussy cut and popped up to give a little more dimension.

A Little Sunshine

Kathy's card features the seabirds from the new Beachside Bliss set of digital stamps. Take a look at the gorgeous ocean she has created, complete with reflections and deep shadows that give the image depth and movement. Make sure you head over to her blog for more details!

Beachside Bliss

I've created a couple more cards using the pre-coloured digital images from the new Beachside Bliss set. The first card uses both images, one on either end of a slimline design. For the second card, I enlarged the pelican image and trimmed one side to fit the card front. The sentiments on both were printed at the same time with a simple MS Word program. Again, super quick and easy!

Stamps:

La Femme

Carla has created two gorgeous cards with the La Femme set of digital stamps, one in shades of pink and the other in soft blues. Both are coloured with Polychromo pencils on white card and she has embellished with additional stamps, die cuts and patterned paper.

Tutorial - Extended Faux Step-Fold Card

This faux step-fold card gives you the same look as a centre step card but without all the measuring, cutting and folding. Easily made from a single sheet of cardstock (A4 or letter), and can be decorated with offcuts of your favourite patterned paper.

1. Trim the base card to 41/2" x 11" and the centre panel to 3" x 8". (It's not too difficult to alter the size of this card once you understand how it fits together.)

2. Place the base card horizontally on your score board and score at 41/2", 9" and 10". Fold, concertina style, along the scored lines.

3. Place the centre panel horizontally on your score board and score at 21/2". Fold along the score line pressing the crease firmly with your bone folder.

4. I prefer to decorate the pieces before assembly, but feel free to assemble the card first if you prefer. You'll need four pieces of patterned paper to decorate: 23/4" x 51/4" for the centre panel, two pieces measuring 3/4" x 41/4" for either side of the centre panel, and one piece measuring 3/4" x 41/4" for the bottom. (All paper will be vertical in orientation except for the bottom piece.)

NOTE: I also placed a piece of pink ribbon around the bottom of my centre panel before assembly.

5. Secure the centre panel to the middle of the bottom section of the base card. The adhesive should only be applied to the section before the first fold.

6. Fold the card flat and flip it over.

7. Apply adhesive to the back of the centre panel to secure it to the base card. Be mindful of where you place the glue as the centre panel is higher than the base card.

8. Now add whatever additional embellishments you'd like to complete your card.
