Hello Stamping Friends,<\/p>\n

February hostess code:\u00a0 FPRJEPZJ<\/p>\n

The card I am demonstrating today is not hard- just a bit hard to explain.\u00a0 I will use many pictures to help you see the process since I have yet to take on the challenge of Youtube videos.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You just can’t find a way to animate me!<\/a><\/p>\n

And a way to stabilize the camera and the time to learn to edit!\u00a0 Ah well…..\u00a0 It is good to have a goal.<\/p>\n

This card will show you how you can think ‘outside the box’ to create stamped images of just pieces of a stamp.\u00a0 We are familiar with coloring on the back of our stamps to use only what we want but this card has the greeting stamped and then cut.\u00a0 Side-note: when you do color the back of your stamps, be sure and use the regular markers to color the stamps not the Stampin’ Blends as Stampin Blends will stain your stamps.<\/p>\n

On page 49 of the 2019-20 annual catalog are the two stamp sets I used for this card, Rustic Retreat and Peaceful Place:<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0 Wait, Rustic Retreat shows only 11 stamps and its greeting doesn’t have wood at the edges like your pictures.<\/a><\/p>\n

Patience, there is a way!<\/p>\n

I used the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Garden Green card stock layer on a Thick Whisper White Base.\u00a0 I have pictures of two different colors from the DSP.\u00a0 I made two cards and didn’t realize I hadn’t taken the main pictures of the one I mailed, but “serendipity” – you get to see two versions!<\/p>\n

So let’s look at the waterfall:<\/p>\n
