I designed a card with the Layering Leaves and Leaf Collection Stamp Sets recently. I plan to send this card to current achieving and new demonstrators in my Stampers With ART group. But I’m also going to create more of them, because the card colors and imagery make me happy. And I think these would make great birthday cards for family and friends. The card features embossing, punching, and a fun background stamp layering idea.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this cheerful greeting card. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video.
BTW…I recommend stamping your lighter color first so it sits more in the background. I stamped with the darker color first (since my stamp was already inked in that color) during my live class and it gave me a slightly different look…the yellow is definitely more dominant where the two colors overlap.
Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).
