Layered Labels - Simple but Classy!

Classy Thank You!

I just love this Thank You card.  It is simple yet very classy.

To create this card I started with Always Artichoke
card stock cut to the standard size base of 5.5" x 8.5" folded in half.

The second layer is cut 5.25" x 4" from Sahara Sand card stock.

The third layer is cut 5" x 3.75" from a piece of Always Artichoke Designer Series Paper.

I set these pieces aside for a while and grabbed a piece of Sahara Sand card stock.  I then used the largest stamp from the Layered Labels stamp set and stamped the image onto the Sahara Sand card stock with Always Artichoke Classic Stampin' Pad.  Using my Big Shot (the most awesome machine ever) I ran the stamped Sahara Sand card stock along with the coordinating Framelit from the Apothecary Accents set through.  The Big Shot cuts the image out with crisp clean lines!!!  I love it!

Because I needed a Thank You card I decided to add another layer.
I took one of the stamps from the Four Frames stamp set and stamped it onto a piece of Always Artichoke card stock with a Always Artichoke Classic Stampin' Pad.
The Four Frames stamps have enough space inside the stamp to add a sentiment.
I used the "Thanks so Much" stamp from my Six-Sided Sampler stamp set...again using the Always Artichoke Classic Stampin' Pad....it fit just perfect!  Punch this image out with the Decorative Label punch.

Now you are ready to begin assembling your layers!!  This is the exciting part:)  I love seeing how the layers I've created come to together!  Assemble the first three layers one on top the other ...making sure they are straight and square.  To add dimension and a little interest use Stampin' Dimensionals to raise the last layer off the card a little.

Add a little bling and WOW...look at this awesome card!!  Simply but Classy!

Six-Sided Sampler

With the rainy weather we had on Sunday I was able to sit down be creative!

Here is one of the cards I made!

What could be more simple...I used Marina Mist (seems to be a fav of mine lately) 

Whisper White and Coastal Cabana card stock.

Using the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set and the coordinating punch

 ( you guessed it!!! I bundled these items when I bought them:))

 I stamped and punched out the  hexagon shapes.

 Set these aside for a minute.

Using Marina Mist ink and the Off The Grid stamp create a background for the card.  

Use you imagination... stamp off the edges of the card stock...give the card some character:)

Next layer your card stocks and apply the hexagons as you like.

Lay the hexagons out on your card stock and see what different patterns catch your eye.  

I find that I like a very symmetrical look when I put things together.

Oh ya...the cute little "thanks much" stamp is part of the Six-Sided Sampler stamp 

set and is made to fit perfectly inside the blank hexagon!!
