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 –

Anna' Stampin' Cave - Amazing You Card using Stampin' Up! Amazing You Stamp Set & Celebrate You Thinlits Dies - Bermuda Bay - Pool Party - Gold

Amazing You card dimensions:

  • 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

  • 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.

Anna' Stampin' Cave - Mother's Day Fun Fold Split Card using Amazing You Stamp Set, Apron of Love Stamp Set & Springtime Foils Specialty DSP from Stampin' Up!

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.

Anna' Stampin' Cave - Mother's Day Fun Fold Split Card using Amazing You Stamp Set, Apron of Love Stamp Set & Springtime Foils Specialty DSP from Stampin' Up!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.

Anna' Stampin' Cave - Mother's Day Fun Fold Split Card using Amazing You Stamp Set, Apron Love Stamp Set & Springtime Foils Specialty DSP from Stampin' Up!

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.

Anna' Stampin' Cave - Mother's Day Fun Fold Split Card using Amazing You Stamp Set, Apron of Love Stamp Set & Springtime Foils Specialty DSP from Stampin' Up!

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.

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.

anna-stampin-cave-extending-your-stitched-shapes-framelits-dies-1

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.

anna-stampin-cave-extending-your-stitched-shapes-framelits-dies-2

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.

anna-stampin-cave-extending-your-stitched-shapes-framelits-dies-3

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.

anna-stampin-cave-extending-your-stitched-shapes-framelits-dies-4

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,
