Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - Two Step Stamping / Stamping With Melva

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - Two Step Stamping

Tuesday, 6 September 2022

It's time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This month the theme is Two Step Stamping. My card features my favourite suite in the Stampin' Up! July to December Mini catalogue - Boughs of Holly. I can't stop playing with this suite. I combined it with the Artisan Addition Dies to add some detail to the background. Isn't this pretty!

Instructions

Cut cross hatch in card base about 1/2" from top left of card base using Die
Cut Distressed Gold paper 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere on the back of the card front so you see the gold through the cut outs

Cut Designer Series Paper 1 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Adhere Designer Series Paper to Basic White cardstock
