As a child I loved to color, cut and paste.  In my adulthood, I started scrapbooking and then was introduced to the world of stamping about two years ago by my dear friend, a demonstrator with Stampin’ Up.  I started teaching Card Making Classes only two months after I started stamping.  I was just too excited and it was a way for me to share the love of stamping with others.

 

I think both my degree in Fashion Design and being the oil painting artist help me with the design, composition and the color choices for my paper crafting projects.

Step 1:

Cut red cardstock to 5 1/4" x 10 1/2". Place cardstock on the Scor-Pal, line left edge of paper to the 1/2" mark, and score at 5 1/2" mark.  Fold cardstock to create the base for the card

Step 2:

Cut blue cardstock at 5" x 5 1/4".  Line up the long side (5 1/4") on the Score-Pal at 4" mark; score at 4 1/4" and then at 4 1/2" marks.  Repeat on the other side. 

Step 3:

Create the opening in the center of the blue layer with Circle Nestabilites. Score lines shown as dashes.

Step 4:

Cut a scallop circle from a piece of red cardstock using Scallop Circle Nestabilites.  To create the frame, cut out the circle in the middle of the red scallop with Circle Nestabilies.

Step 5:

Glue red scalloped frame to the circle opening on the blue layer

Step 6:

Fold the scored lines on the blue layer, creating the “shadow box”.

Step 7:

Cut white cardstock at 4” x 4”.  Stamp the images in the center.

 

Step 8:

Stamp some of the same images on a scrap piece of white cardstock. Cut them out and place them over the images on pop dots to layer creating a 3D effect.

Step 9:

Glue white cardstock with the stamped images on the top of the red layer as shown.

 

Step 10:

Use Scor-Tape to adhere both sides of the blue layer onto the red card.

Step 11:
