Step It Up!

Today we are sharing some fun ideas for stepping up cards.  There is a quick and easy version, and then one that requires a little more work, and has a little more detail.

#SSINKTC49: Eclipse Technique

Hello everyone!  Today starts a fun new challenge for everyone!  This time we are doing Eclipse Cards.  They are all the rage right now, and just so fun to make!

They are pretty simple to make, with the Large Letter Framelits (Or any framelits, or punches really!) and any stamp set - you will be whipping these cards out in no time.  

First, cut your piece that you want your word/image out of down to size.  I like to cut mine to 3 3/4" x 5".

Next, if you are doing stamping - you'll want to do all of that now.

When you are finished stamping cut out the word or image that you want.

Glue your stamped piece to a card base or mat.

Use Stampin' Dimensionals or Foam Adhesive Strips to put the letters back in their holes, but raised up.

That is it!

Here is what the design team made to inspire you:

Get Well Soon

Often times, the holiday season, also means that cold and flu season is going on.  Today, our design team members are sharing some get well cards.  Any of these ideas would be such a bright spot in the day of a friend who is a bit under the weather.

Case the DT: Cathy Autrey

Good morning everyone!  The first Friday of the month is set aside for something we like to call, Case the Design Team member.  It is fun to scroll through someone's blog, and find something you would like to copy.  It is fun to work with someone else's style for a little while.  

This month, we are CASE-ing Cathy Auutrey, from Maine Mountain Stamper.  Cathy lives in Bethel, Maine and has a unique stamping style that is all her own.  We are so thankful to have her as part of the design team!
