Just wanted to post a card I did with Papertrey Ink's set called "Through the Trees". I love this stamp and use it all the time. I made Christmas cards for this year already with it...sorry to spill the beans friends and family so I won't show them off quite yet. However, these aren't the ones I made for Christmas but I love these ones too.
I used the cuttlebug folder on kraft cardstock for the background, layered it on white cardstock and then inked the edges with the red ink (Stampin Up) I used for the sentiment and birdies. I then stamped the tree image on kraft with white ink and embossed it with white embossing powder. Sentiment is from a Fiskars set. Then I inked the same tree stamp with versamark and went over top of the white, embossed image. Next I clear embossed it so it looks like a shadow behind the original. Got it? Here's a close-up....
The next card was one I have seen duplicated quite a few times on various blogs. You can check out Papertrey Ink's Gallery for this stamp set here.
For this white version, I did exactly the same thing as the above card except I stamped a second image on another piece of kraft cardstock and cut out two of the birch trees and their branches to pop up on this card. I think it looks pretty neat. On the left you can see the real shadow it causes and on the right you can just make out the three little pop up squares I used....
I haven't used any of the other images in this set - just these trees and the little birds. I'll get to the others someday...
Back to the dog show tomorrow. Teardown and packing up. I must love them or I wouldn't go, right?
Love this card sweetie. Add it to the ones I want you to teach me. Sheesh - we'll need a MONTH of stamping just to get through everything.
