Here is another card that I created using the Stamped with Love stamp set. It was a quick and easy card.
To make this project, you’ll need the following supplies:
- Cardstock/Paper: Starry Sky (4 ¼” x 11”, scored at 5 ½” on the long side); Basic White (3” x 3” square to be embossed, 4” x 5 ¼” piece for inside panel, scrap for post box); Glorious Gingham DSP (2 pieces cut at 1” x 3 ½” – I used Blueberry Bushel and Berry Burst)
- Ink: Memento in Tuxedo Black
- Basic Tools: Snips, Trimmer, Adhesives (Glue, Glue Dots, Dimensionals)
- Additional Tools/Supplies: Smoky Slate Blends Combo Pack, Basic Black Blends Combo Pack, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Starry Sky Metallic Ribbon, Glossy Dots
- Stamps/Dies: Stamped with Love Photopolymer Stamp Set
To make this project, follow these steps:
- Stamp the postbox image in Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap of Basic White paper. Color the box using the Smoky Slate Blends (I colored the letter opening with Basic Black Blends), then fussy cut. Stamp another postbox image on a scrap of Basic White and fussy cut the ‘letter’ image out.
- Emboss the 3” x 3” piece of Basic White using the Timeworn Type EF and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Adhere this 3” embossed square to the Starry Sky card base at somewhat of an angle.
- Trim one end of the DSP pieces into a banner (Notch out a ‘v’ shape). Adhere these pieces to the right of center on the Basic White square.
- Adhere the post box to the white square as shown (Use Stampin’ Dimensionals). Using a glue dot on the top of the cut-out ‘letter’ and a Mini Dimensional on the bottom, adhere the ‘letter’ to the postbox. The difference in height gives it a bit of an illusion of a letter popping out.
- Tie a bow using the Starry Sky Metallic Mesh ribbon and affix it to the card front using a glue dot (I tucked it behind the upper right corner of the post box).
- Finish the card off with a few coordinating Glossy Dots.
