Since the Bough Punch is on backorder, I promised to demonstrate card using Layering Leaves (featured as my August 3 for FREE stamp set) that DOESN’T need the punch, and I’ll be using this design as thank you cards this month because it’s quick to create.
The “Reverse Masking” technique is made even easier with the new Masking Paper from Stampin’ Up! and it was magic to demonstrate HOW to use it in this quick video:
The card layout was inspired by one of my Sprinkled Ink team members, Beverly Benson. We made a similar card at our June Retreat shoebox swap and I knew it would work with this fabulous set.
You’ll be happy to learn – or remember! – this classic stamping technique.
Add the Layering Leaves to any $50+ order from my Stampin’ Store in August and receive 3 free tutorials via email plus the consumable supples from me in the mail!
I carefully curated 3 classy card kits for my customers who purchased the Layering Leaves + Bough Punch between July 31-August 31, 2023, only to find this morning that the Bough Punch is on backorder!
So let’s do this instead: Add the Layering Leaves stamp set to any $50+ order from my store during that time and you’ll still get the tutorials emailed AND the supplies sent to you, then I’ll send you a notification when the Bough punch is available! This may work better for you anyway, if you already purchased the punch 😀 as it won’t be a requirement to receive the projects.
The font for these sentiments are easy to read and elegant, and it won’t go out of style anytime soon.
Make sure you see the list of additional supplies you’ll need to complete the 3 card tutorials at the end.
Moving ahead as I had already planned, I showed a simple, classic card in my Monday Lunchtime Live Crafting video, and it’s perfectly simple:
Leaves are lovely to use, because they feel universal for anyone who needs a card, and adding a few sprigs and a double bow give it a bit of whimsy and sparkle. On August 14th, I will demo a project that *doesn’t* require the punch, so make sure to catch it!
There are just a few supplies you’ll need to complete the 3 free card tutorials that WON’T be included. You may already have these on hand OR could substitute similar products, but if you want to add them to your order, here they are:
Ink Pads: Basic Gray, Boho Blue, Moody Mauve, Wild Wheat, Copper Clay, Granny Apple and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink pad
Adhesive: Stampin’ Seal or Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Mini Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals
