Sparkling Six-Sided Sampler...say that 3 times!
May 13, 2016
The Stampin'Up! Six Sided Sampler Stamp set is one of my favorites of the retiring sets that will be leaving us 5/31 (note: we are assured we can order these until 5/22; after that it's only while supplies last)
This stamp set is awesomely versatile--you can use these stamps to create some wonderful backgrounds or to use as a focal point. In today's card it is a bit of both--the stamps provide a background for the beautiful butterfly but also are part of the focal area on the cardfront.
I'm going to give you step by step directions for this beauty followed by a list of supplies you'll need to re-create this card.
- Cut a piece of thick Whisper White cardstock 8 1/2 X 5 1/2; on the long side score at 5 1/2 (this is your card base).
- Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5 1/4 X 4 1/4; Using the small spots stamp (Gorgeous Grunge stamp set) stamp diagonally from left to right using Pool Party classic ink for a splattered background. Adhere this piece to the card front using dimensionals.
- On a piece of scrap Whisper White cardstock, pick your favorite 5 hexagonal designs and stamp in Bermuda Bay ink; punch out with the hexagonal punch (#130919, $16.00). Arranged as shown in picture and adhere to the card front using dimensionals.
- Stamp the "hello sweet friend" (from Six-Sided Sampler stamp set) below the hex pieces in Versamark ink and sprinkle with Silver Embossing Powder, tap off excess and heat with Heat Tool until silver and shiny.
- Cut a piece of Silver Glimmer paper approximately 1/4 X 5"; cut the ends at a diagonal; Adhere to the front of the hexes using glue dots (see pic for placement)
- Using the small fancy butterfly (Bold Butterfly framelits) cut an image from the Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper using the Precision Base plate and the Big Shot (sandwich = precision base plate, glimmer paper (face down), framelit, standard cutting pad); adhere center of butterfly to the silver glimmer strip on the far left using a glue dot. Add a large rhinestone to the head of the butterfly.
Your card is completed! Isn't it awesome! You can change the ink colors and you'll create a completely new effect! Enjoy!
