Stamping with Friends

This past weekend I had the chance to stamp with some old friends, and some new friends.   The group of ladies shown above are all demonstrators living in Florida.  On Saturday, we had a chance to share ideas, create a few make & take projects and we even swapped cards with each other.  I think stamping with friends is always so much fun. 

I was given the opportunity to create a make & take for the group.  This is the card I created for that project.  Each stamper had the choice to create their card in landscape or portrait.  I think they all really enjoyed this card idea.

Here's what I used to create this card:

• Enjoy Life stamp set (item #148190)
• Poppy Parade Ink (item #147050)
• Granny Apple Green Ink (item #147095)
• Poppy Parade Cardstock (item #119793)
• whisper white cardstock (item #100730)
• Basic Jewel Rhinestones (item #144220)
• Layering Circle framelits (item #141705)
• Layered Leaves embossing folder (item #143704)
• Stampin Dimensionals (Item #104430)
• Memento Black Ink

Here's how I created this card:

• Cut Poppy Parade 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock in half creating a card base that measures 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".  Score at 4 1/4".  Burnish with bone folder.
• Cut  a piece of whisper white to 4" x 5 1/4" and run through the Big Shot using the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder.  Attach this piece to the front of the card base.
• Cut a piece of Poppy Parade Cardstock to 4" x 1 1/2".  Stamp the flower images across the bottom edge  of cardstock using Poppy Parade Ink.   Attach to card front as shown.
• Stamp greeting onto a piece of whisper white cardstock using black memento ink.  Cut out with a laying circle.  Stamp the flower image over the greeting using Granny Apple Green ink.  Stamp this image to the left and right.  For the left and right images, I inked up the image then stamped it off onto a piece of scrap paper, then stamped over my greeting.  This gives it a lighter look
• Cut a scalloped circle using the layering circle framelits and poppy parade cardstock.  Attach the white circle stamped piece onto the scalloped poppy piece and attach to the front of the card using dimensionals. 
• Attach rhinestones.

I hope that you have enjoyed this project using the new stamp set "Enjoy Life"  I will be featuring more cards using this set later this month.  If you need supplies to create this, or any other project, I would love to be your demonstrator.  Please visit my online store by clicking HERE.
