Welcome to Karen’s Stamping Habit! Today I’m sharing a card that I’ve made to welcome Wave.
Wave is the new granddaughter of a friend of mine. I started thinking about a card that I could send the new Grandma and this paper from See A Silhouette came to mind. Doesn’t the blue and white print remind you of rolling waves? I thought so! I have used a few techniques and have some helpful tips to share with you today.
For starters, I spelled out Wave’s name with my brand new die set, Hand Lettered Prose. I don’t know why it took me so long to order these…anyway…
Tip #1
Cut the letters out from thick Whisper White cardstock and then again with white Fun Foam to give it some big dimension and importance on your card.
Tip #2
Leave the foam letters in their holes after cropping, apply liquid glue lightly to the letters only, then place the cardstock letters over the matching foam letters. After a few seconds to dry, lift the letters out of the Fun Foam base. It’s so much easier than trying to glue and line up the letters to the foam that stretches and loses shape when you’ve taken them from their base. Does that make any sense? If not, let me know!
Tip #3
Apply Fine Tip Glue Pen glue over the top of the letters to give it a great shine!
On the inside,
I found these sweet sentiments in Grandma’s House. I love these stamps (yep, I too am a Grandma. Can you tell?)
The last mention on the card construction is the Welcome Sweet Baby. I found Welcome in a set called Stamping Your Way To The Top. I believe it was only available for Demonstrators and I’m not sure about its availability now. I’ll have to look. I isolated Welcome from a larger sentiment, then heat embossed it with White Powder onto Night of Navy cardstock. Then I got “sweet baby” from Itty Bitty Greetings, stamped it with Versamark Ink and heat embossed it. I used a Stitched Shape oval die to cut it out.
If you love this paper as much as I do, you can order it today! Click HERE and enter See A Silhouette in the search box or enter Item #149443 on the order form. Click HERE to see another card I made with this beautiful paper.
