Casually Crafting - July 2022




I'm back with another casual card for the Casually Crafting Blog Hop. We're a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that love to stamp and love to share.  We share card and projects that are simple and easy to create with a few products and are perfect for the beginner and casual stamper.  Our blog hop goes live on the third Saturday of each month.  I hope you'll join us and "hop" around our group to be inspired!

This month we were challenged with the following Sketch Challenge.  It's definitely fun to challenge ourselves to create cards that don't include die cuts!  Check out the sketch we used.

Now my card!


Instructions

  1. Cut Evening Evergreen card stock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".  Fold on score line to form card base.

  6. Once dry, rub the Embossing Buddy over piece.
  7. Stamp the detailed tree image on top of the tree using Versamark.
  8. Sprinkle with White Embossing Powder and heat to melt.
  9. On the second smaller piece of Basic White card stock stamp sentiment using Evening Evergreen ink.
  10. Adhere large piece with trees to the middle of the card base using Dimensionals.
