Petal Palette Birmingham Weekend Swap Card

In June, I spent a weekend in Birmingham with about 40 other Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. When we get together in groups, we often arrange to swap designs with each other because that gives us loads of inspiration. This is my swap card for that weekend. I made 40 of them and got 40 other projects back to take home with me. My Stamperatus was invaluable to make so many multiples of the same card, and was also vital for this technique of set-back stamping.

 

How to make this card –

 

·       Create an A6 card base from Pool Party cardstock

·       Cut a Whisper White layer that is 12.9cm x 8.5 cm

·       Cut a Pool party layer that is 12.4cm x 8cm and use the Detailed Trio punch to add the decorative detail and the rounder corner to the bottom right hand corner of this layer

·       Line up the Whisper White layer in the corner of the Stamperatus and place the large rose image from the Petal palette stamp set where you would like it to stamp. Ink up with Stazon and stamp. (I did this 40 times). DO NOT REMOVE THE STAMP, and add the Thank You sentiment to the Stamperatus plate

·       Line up the Pool Party layer in the Stamperatus where you would like the aperture to be, then stamp the rose image again, with the Thank you This time

·       Using the coordinating Petals and More dies, die cut the rose image out from the Pool Party layer

·       Colour in the rose image with Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Write markers

·       Adhere the Pool Party layer to the Whisper White layer on Stampin’ dimensionals

·       Adhere this to the Pool Party base card
