May Layout Love- Layered Thoughts

 


Here is my May Layout Love Design using
Layered Thoughts Stamp Set! 

This design is super simple and used the "tear" technique. 


I took the leftover teared DSP from the front and put it to the inside of the card (I trimmed it to fit with the Basic White).


Measurements
Secret Sea: 4 1/4" x 11" scored @ 5 1/2"
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", 1/2" x 1 1/4"
Cloud Cover: 2" x 1"
DSP:(3) 4 1/4" x 1 1/2"

Steps
  1. Measure, score, and cut your paper. 
  2. Die cut one Cloud Cover banner and glue to the top right of the card front (on the score line). 
  3. Heat Emboss with Versamark, Basic White Powder, and Heat Tool onto the Secret Sea cardbase the "thanks". 
  4. Stamp onto the Basic White the "you" in Secret Sea. Glue below the "thank". 
  5. Take each DSP and tear the top at a downward angle. Have two DSP start from the top left and go to the bottom and have one start tearing from the right and go to the left. Use liquid glue to attach to the bottom of the cardbase. 
  6. Trim down the DSP leftovers to 4 inches and glue to the Basic White and then glue to the inside of the card. 
  7. Embellish with one Cloud Cover Flat Pearl. 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!



Layered Thoughts Happy Birthday

 


Check out these Happy Birthday cards I made for a swap using the Layered Thoughts Stamp Set! 



This card is considered a Fun Fold, but is very easy to make. 
The piece that was cut off the front of the cardbase is the piece matte that has the Happy Birthday on it. 
It is a great way to save paper. 


I used the NEW Sentimental Framing Dies. 
I put the frame part of the Basic White in the inside and used the center to stamp "Happy Birthday".



Open it up to write a framed message! 

You can make this card too when you shop from my online store and use the steps below!



Measurements
Strawberry Slush: 4 1/4" x 11" scored @ 5 1/2" & cut @ 2 3/4"
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4"
DSP: 4" 2 1/2"

Steps
  1. Measure, score, and cut your paper. 
  2. Die cut from the Basic White the Sentimental Dies. Save the center to stamp "Happy Birthday" in Strawberry Slush. 
  3. Glue the DSP to the front of the cardbase. Glue the cut 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" to the Basic White with the "Happy Birthday". Attach that to the card front using Dimensionals. Glue the Basic White frame to the inside of the card. 
  4. Embellish with one Strawberry Slush Flat Pearl. 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
