Anna’ Stampin’ Cave – Amazing You Clean & Simple Card Using SAB Freebies

Are you pink or blue person? Why my question you may be wondering?

Couple of days ago I shared with you lovely, CAS card using Amazing You Stamp Set and Celebrate You Thinlits Dies with flower in pink – you can check it here.

Today, however, I have a very similar card using the same products and layout, but in blue instead of pink.

Here’s my card –

Amazing You card dimensions:

Bermuda Bay cardstock: 11-6/8″ x 4-1/8″ scored in half at 5-7/8″ (29.7 x 10.5 cm scored in half at 14.8 cm)
Whisper White cardstock: 3-5/8″ x 5-3/8″ (9.3 cm x 13.6 cm)
Whisper White cardstock (for inside): 3″ x 4-5/8″ (7.6 cm x 11.7 cm)
a piece of watercolour paper for stamping the flower
a strip of Gold Foil cardstock for die cutting
Gold 1/8″ Ribbon: 8″ approximately

In today’s card I still encorporated gold elements, but I swapped Berry Burst and Powder Pink inks for Bermuda Bay and Pool Party. I love this dreamy teal-y flower!

I love the script on this ‘amazing’ die cut. It’s bit tricky to adhere but totally worth the hustle. ‘You’ is stamped in soft, Pool Party ink. For the greenery this time I used only one shade of green: Pear Pizzazz.

To finish off the inside of the card I stamped the flower in Pool Party ink, in bottom right corner.

So? Are you pink or blue person? I would love to know.

Also don’t forget that there’re still couple of day when you can earn free Sale-a-bration products with each qualifying order. And you don’t only have a brochures to choose from – there are also regular products from current catalogues which you can choose!! Download PDF here.

Amazing Mum With Springtime Foils For Remarkably Created Blog Hop

5 March 20184 March 2018 ~ Anna Krol ~ 12 Comments

Anna’ Stampin’ Cave -Amazing Mum Card With Springtime Foils For Remarkably Created Blog Hop.

Today I’m participating in an International Remarkably Created Blog Hop to celebrate National Craft Month in America. If you arrived here from Ellen Vargo, a big welcome to you! You are currently visiting Anna Krol from the United Kingdom. Further down you will find a list of all participants for you to continue your journey through this hop. We hope you will find lots of great inspiration from our projects.

For my today’s project, I decided to create a clean & simple, and very feminine card for Mother’s Day. I know in many countries it’s still months away but in the UK they are celebrating Mother’s Day very soon – on 11th March.

Here’s my card:

This is very easy and straightforward Fun Fold Split Card. You can check all the measurements below.

Amazing Mum card dimensions:

Powder Pink cardstock: 8-3/4″ x 4″ scored at 5-7/8″ (22.2 cm x 10.2 cm scored at 14.8 cm) + 1-1/2″ x 4″ (3.8 cm x 10.2 cm)
Whisper White cardstock: 5-5/8″ x 3-7/8″ (14.4 cm x 9.9 cm) + 2-3/4″ x 3-7/8″ (6.9 cm x 9.9 cm) + 1-3/8″ x 3-7/8″ (3.4 cm x 9.9 cm)
a piece of Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper for die-cutting
a piece of Powder Pink cardstock for die-cutting

To create a focal point for my card I die-cut a circle of Springtime Foils Specialty DSP. There are four different foiled designs and for my card, I chose this beautiful rose gold floral with tiny gold dots.

This is a new product from Sale-a-bration 2nd Release and you can earn it free with qualifying order. More details here.

I die-cut it using a 2nd largest circle die from Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. Next, I die-cut slightly larger scalloped circle from a piece of Powder Pink cardstock and adhered DSP on top using liquid Tombow glue.

For the inside panel, I stamped the ‘burst’ image from Amazing You Stamp Set in Powder Pink ink. I placed it behind the focal point so you can’t see it when the card is closed. The sentiment is stamped in Memento Black ink.

The sentiment on the front of the card says ‘amazing mum’. The word ‘amazing’ come from the same ‘Amazing You Stamp Set. I stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed in gold. Next, I stamped ‘Mum’ from Apron of Love Stamp Set, and also heat embossed it in gold.

I truly hope you enjoyed coming to my blog and see my card. As always, if you wish to purchase any of products I have used, simply click the images below to go directly to my online store and don’t forget to enter the hostess code CWKGWDD7 to receive a gift from me. More details below.

How-To: Partial Die-Cutting To Extend Your Square Dies

Anna’ Stampin’ Cave – How-To: Partial Die-Cutting To Extend Your Square Dies

Couple of weeks ago I posted on my blog this lovely card and I had an enormous response, and questions on how I turned a square from Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies into the rectangle.

I hoped to post it earlier but as always life got in the way. But finally, I got around to show you how I did it. The technique is called partial die-cutting.

By no means, I didn’t invent this technique. It’s been around for a long time and is usually used to create pop-up elements or intricate borders.

To create a rectangle I took a piece of cardstock and my square die. I’ve used Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, but you can use any thin square dies for this technique.

I placed the die, with the cutting edge down, on a piece of cardstock. I set the top plate of my cutting sandwich so that is only partially over the die. The portion that is under the top plate is the part that will get cut out. I run it through the Big Shot.

Now I lined up my die with this partially die-cut piece. It’s not difficult at all, as cutting edge of the die slip right into the grove.

And again I placed the top plate so that it’s only partially over the die. Just this time my partially die-cut piece and is on the side that won’t be cut. I run it through the Big Shot.

And voila, you have a stitched rectangle! But as I mentioned before you can use any thin square dies for this technique.

I hope you liked my short ‘how to’ post and that you’ll use this technique to stretch your dies.

Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day,
