Snowflakes are Unique...

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!


I have a fun and simple tutorial to share with you today, called Bordered Sentiment!


Grab some supplies:
 Stamps
Ink
Card Base
Card Layer
Cut Strip of Thin Paper
Painter's Tape

Take your main card layer and place the cut thin strip of paper on top where you would like your sentiment to go.  I used a piece of printer paper.  Adhere painter's tape to the thin piece of paper on each side of the card layer to keep it in position.  
This will keep the area underneath the paper blank, so any images stamped won't show in that area where we will later stamp a sentiment, creating a "border" around the sentiment, giving this technique it's name "Bordered Sentiment"!!

I decided to place my piece of paper at a slant to give a little interest to the card.

Stamp whatever images you wish! For my card today I decided to get a head start on some Christmas cards, so I decided to use the beautiful SnowflakeWishes stamp set!!  So I started stamping the pretty snowflakes! 
 I used the Paradise, Midnight Blue and WildOrchid Ink Pads!


When you are satisfied with the design you have created, you can remove the painter's tape and piece of paper!  You are now ready to stamp your sentiment! (I also decided to add the smaller snowflake by my sentiment, which you will see in my finished card!)
You can also use a ruler if you wish to draw a line to accent the border more! Which I have done as well!

My finished card:

Isn't it beautiful?  I sure think so!!

I finished up my card by adding some bling among my beautiful stamped snowflakes!

Bordered Sentiment with Honey Bee Scraps

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's my day once again to post on the Honey Bee Scraps Blog!!

I am going to show you a little bit of my process for this card!

I love the Bordered Sentiment Technique, so I thought it would be fun to share it with you as well.

First, start by grabbing some supplies:
Stamps
Cardstock Base
Inks
Scrap Piece of Printer Paper (Mine was 1" in height, as you want it to be slightly bigger then your sentiment you are going to use)
Painter's Tape

----------------
Are you ready?!

Start by first decided where you would like your sentiment to go, lay your scrap piece of paper down and put painter's tape in place so the cardstock base doesn't move on you.

You can then decided what image you would like to use to create your border.  I decided to use the beautiful floral image from the Not Too Shabby stamp set!


As you can see, I decided to work with a few different shades of pink to give it some dimension.  It is totally up to you how many colors you would like to use.

Stamp your sentiment.

You can now either just leave it as is, or add a nice little touch, which I usually like to do, by scoring two lines to make the border more defined.

Or you can use a fine marker to create lines, which I did in this case:

Now you are ready to finish up your card!!
----------------

Here is my finished card:
I love how it turned out!!

The "hello" sentiment I used is part of the Life Right Now set!!
I love all the layers of flowers!!

Happy Stamping!!
