Towels for Two

April 3, 2013 By Connie | 1 Comment

I was SO excited to see Stampin' Up!'s news that they are continuing the last two assortments of Single Stamps for a few more months!  I know that I didn't get to use the ones that I purchased nearly enough!  Although, Ears to You did get a lot of mileage, this stamp…Towels for Two…just got inked up for the first time.  I purchased it to use on wedding and anniversary cards because it was just TOO cute! 

 

I used it for my swap card at our Downline Meeting on Monday night.  The one on the left is the one I took…a good M&T card.  I have to restrain myself sometimes from doing TOO much on my M&T card examples!  Then…I thought I'd show you what you could do to Step-it-up!  So, I've shown what adding a couple steps can do for your card!

 

Over on Create with Connie and Mary's latest edition Card "Create"tions for All Occasions, we are using this type of Step-it-up Duo as two of our card examples…one other uses a sketch and the last one is the designer's choice!  So, for each stamp set featured (over 18 of them!) we are making up 4 cards with photos, measurements and directions in a downloadable Project Sheet!  You can see two FREE Project Sheet examples over on Create with Connie and Mary that we did last week during out Preview Week!  And, you can also find a list of the stamp sets we are using from the Main and Spring Mini catalogs!  We are just getting started…so join us for this fun, ALL CARDS, edition!

 

 

Here are a few details on my card duo:

Make & Take version:

  1. Base card is 4 1/4 x 11 Midnight Muse, folded in half
  2. I added a 2 x 5 1/2" Strip of Patio Party Designer Paper to the left side.
  3. I stamped the Towels for Two image with Midnight Muse on Whisper White, then cut it with the Oval Framelit.  I layered it on the next larger Oval of Summer Starfruit cardstock.  I colored the towel bar with my Summer Starfruit marker.
  4. I stamped the & from Ciao, Baby! stamp set in Summer Starfruit Ink and punched with the 3/4" Circle Punch.  I layered it on the 7/8" Scallop Circle punch of Summer Starfruit and popped it up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I added a little bling with a small Rhinestone in the center of the &.
  5. The Oval was also popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Step-it-Up version:

  1. Base card is 4 1/4 x 11 Summer Starfruit, folded in half.
  2. I added a layer of 4 x 5 1/4 Midnight Muse cardstock over the front.
  3. I used a 2 x 5 1/4 strip of Patio Party Designer Paper, layered on a mat of 2 1/4 x 5 1/4 Primrose Petals, then added that to the front.
  4. I stamped the Towels for Two image with Midnight Muse on Whisper White, then cut with the Oval Framelit, I layered it on the next larger Oval of Summer Starfruit cardstock, and used the Oval Piercing Template along the edges.  I also colored the Towel Bar with my Summer Starfruit marker.
  5. I stamped the & from Ciao, Baby! stamp set in Summer Starfruit Ink and punched with the 3/4" Circle Punch.  I layered it on the 7/8" Scallop Circle punch of Summer Starfruit and popped it up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I added a little bling with a small Rhinestone in the center of the &.
  6. The Oval was also popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  7. I punched another 7/8" Scallop Circle from Primrose Petals and cut slits in the scallops to make petals, then added a larger Rhinestone to the center and placed on the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

 

Isn't it fun how a few extra embellishments really make the card pop!  I love showing my customers the difference!  Here are more details on Card "Create"tions for All Occasions!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Love how you combined the Two Towels stamp with Ciao Baby; I'm now glad I finally ordered that single stamp for myself!  Both cards are great, but I particularly like the stepped-up version.
