Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock in half at the score line to create the card base. Adhere one of the 4” x 5-1/4” pieces of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- Using the Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker from the Regals Collection, color every other rectangle on the long border stamp. Using the Blueberry Bushel Stampin’ Write Marker, color the remaining rectangle images. Huff on the stamp to remoisten the ink and stamp on the top of the remaining piece of 4” x 5-1/4” Basic White cardstock. Clean stamp and repeat by stamping on the bottom of the White cardstock.
- Clean the border stamp from the previous step and repeat for each side, this time only coloring in 6 of the lines.
- Ink the “postage wave” image using Blueberry Bushel ink and tap off several times on your scrap paper then stamp in the upper right corner. Stamp the circle heart image using Real Red ink. Adhere the White cardstock to the front of the card.
- Using the scraps of Real Red and Blueberry Bushel cardstock, run through the Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out the hearts and envelope using the sending Love dies. Assemble the envelope and adhere it and the hearts to the front of the card as shown in the sample.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 1/2” strip of Basic White cardstock using Blueberry Bushel ink. Use scissors to trim both ends at an angle and adhere to front of card so that it overlaps the envelope to finish.
A Tip from Barb
To create the border around the card, you’ll want to use Stampin’ Write markers to color in each of the dashes. If you don’t have markers, you can use small pieces of washi tape to mask off every other dash, then ink the stamp with the ink pad color of your choice; remove the Washi Tape, huff on the stamp and stamp. Clean your stamp, then start the process over again by putting Washi Tape on the dashes that were inked last time and ink with the ink pad color of your choice. Remember to remove the Washi Tape carefully before stamping over the previous image. This is a more difficult way to get that look but it will work with ink pads instead of Markers.
