Labels Collection Framelits

Labels Collection Framelits are one of Stampin Up Framelits sets that you can use for various rubber stamping techniques.  Today, I have for you a “thinking of you card” made with the Labels Collection Framelits and the card features stamping multiple card stock layersStampin Up Framelits

Before discussing the Labels Collection Framelits, let me share information about the  first layer for the card.  It reflects the hot waxing technique, which I’ve not used before but really enjoyed it.  I heated gold, silver, and red wax, one at a time, and spread it across the cardstock to create the background.   I used one of the Adorning Accents Edgelits (125595) to shape the top of the card stock. 

Now, on to the Labels Collections Framelits cut outs that make up the center piece of the card.  I used three of the Labels Collections Framelits.  Counting from the largest to the smallest with the largest numbered 5, I used the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd frames from the Labels Collections Framelits.   To begin the layering of the frames on which to stamp, I used a temporary adhesive on the back side of the frames and glued the 2nd frame to the 3rd and the 3rd to the 4th, as shown below.

To decorate the Labels Collection Framelits cut outs and create the card, follow these steps:

1. Using the flower image from the Papaya Collage Stamp Set (126612), cover the stamp with Pretty In Pink Ink (126955) and randomly stamp the image.

2.  Using the multiple floral stamp from the Betsy’s Blossoms Stamp Set (126006), cover the largest flower with VersaMark Ink and randomly stamp around the Labels Collection Framelits cut outs.

3.  Cover the VersaMark images with Gold Emboss Powder (109129) and set with heat. Labels Collection Framelits

 4.  Cover the leaf on the flower stamp from the Papaya Collage Stamp Set with the Gumball Green Stampin’ Write Marker and stamp the image in the spots shown in the below image.

5.  Cut an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Pretty in Pink Card Stock (100459) and fold in the center to create the card base.

6.  Emboss the top front of the card base with one of the Adorning Accents Folders (125601).

7.  Adhere your first layer (mine is the waxed background) to the card base.

8.  Adhere the decorated Labels Collection Framelits cut outs onto the first layer.

9. Stamp the sentiment, “thinking of you” onto a piece of Pretty in Pink Card Stock with VersaMark ink.  Cover with Gold Emboss Powder and heat set it.  Attach to the card.

Labels Collection Framelits – Thoughts and Prayers

I could not do without the Stampin’ Up! Labels Collection Framelits, as well as all of the Stampin’ Up!’s framelits, as well as the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set.  To me, the Labels Collection Framelits and all of the other framelits are must-have tools for creating paper crafts. The Labels Collection Framelits may be designed to cut certain stamp cut images, but they certainly may be used for other purposes.

The card share for you today features the Labels Collection Framelits and Thoughts and Prayers Stamp Set.  To use the  Labels Collection Framelits, you will need the Big Shot, its multipurpose platform (Tab 1), and standard cutting pads.  Below are instructions for making this card.

Stamping Multiple Card Stock Layers – Guneaux Designs

Stamping multiple card stock layers is a hot trend in the paper crafting world.  I created a card featuring the trend of stamping multiple card stock layers for an acquaintance who was diagnosed recently with breast cancer.  I wanted to send her a card to let her know that I care and am praying for her.  Therefore, I decided to use this technique of stamping multiple card stock layers for her card.

Everyone knows that the outcome of stamping multiple card stock layers would leave gaps in the stamped images, right?  Additionally, the result will be less than the aspired goal, which is to have a pretty card.  Agree?

Well, there is a method to use; however, you’ll still have gaps, but let’s see what we can do with those gaps.  Follow these instructions to use this technique:

1.  Cut pieces of Whisper White Card Stock according to this picture:

2.  Layer the Whisper White Card Stock according to the following picture.  You’ll need to use a temporary glue on the backside of the two top layers to prevent them from moving as you stamp the images.

3.  Using a single inked stamp, randomly stamp the image around the multiple card stock layers.

4.  Disassemble the three pieces of card stock.

5.  Cut two pieces of colored card stock that match your ink (your choice) of a size to form mats for the top two layers.

6.  Assemble the pieces and your gaps will appear as intended, and you’ll have a beautiful card, like this one.

Stampin’ Up! Supplies Used for the Above Card (including item numbers):

Paper:  Whisper White Card Stock (100730), Pretty in Pink Card Stock (100459), and Gumball Green Card Stock (126840)

Stamp Sets:  Thoughts and Prayers (127805 – c) and the retired Ribbon of Hope

Ink:  Gumball Green Stampin’ Write Marker (126856 – comes in one package of the new 2012-2014 In Colors) and Pretty in Pink Classic Stampin’ Pad (126861)

Accessories:  VersaMark Ink (102283), Melon Mambo Stampin’ Emboss Powder (123223) , Heat Gun (129053) , and Adorning Accents Folders (125601)

 Enjoy!
