Creative Greetings to Operation Write Home Blog Hoppers! In case you didn't know about today's Blog Hop, you can start at OWH HERE.
Since today's hop focuses on masculine cards, I'm featuring our March Bookshelves Collection, because it contains the perfect stuff for creating that sort of thing. I was immediately drawn to the Globe Rubber Stamp to make cards for the fellas.
I used this nifty globe stamp three different ways, as seen above. Even though the card on the left is dimensional, the paper is folded, so it will flatten for mailing. Cool, huh? But for the purposes of today's tutorial, I'm focusing on the Encircled Heart Card, on the far right.
1. Stamp the globe image onto an Eggshell Ivory panel with Black India ink. Stamp the same image onto a piece of text-weight scrap paper. Trim around the image to create a mask. Cover the stamped globe with the mask and stamp the sentiment several times with Mahogany CS Hybrid Ink.
2. Use a circle cutter or punch to remove the round portion of the globe from stamped image. Nest onto a Burgundy panel, mark the location of the cut hole and remove the circle from that panel as well.
3. Fold a piece of text weight paper in half and cut a symmetrical heart. Use the heart as a template to cut two hearts from Burgundy Paper. (Or you can use a heart-shaped punch.)
4. Use bookbinding glue to sandwich a length of thread between the two hearts.
5. Tape the heart within the circular opening on the backside of the Eggshell panel. Line up the thread with the spinning axis of the stamped globe.
6. Nest onto the Burgundy panel.
7. Mark the location of the open circle onto the front of a scored card base, cut the circle, and layer the panel onto the card.

ReplyDeleteVery cool technique here! I wish you had mentioned what size the circle was. I totally want to try this!
ReplyDeleteSorry for not mentioning the size of the circle...we used the stamp itself as a guide. The round "globe" portion of the stamp is about 2-1/4" in diameter. Hope this helps!

ReplyDeleteLove this card! I've seen cards similar to this but have often wondered how to make it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a real nice card! My husband is a Veteran, he was one of the first to go after 911. He is home safe and sound. He always likes seeing what the troops get from back home now a days. He never had anyone send him goodies boxes or wonderfully homemade blank cards. We thank you as a family for the wonderful people that have these projects for our troops, they are very lucky in deed.

ReplyDeleteGreat ideas, techniques, & cards.
ReplyDeleteWas just thinking about making a spinner card. Awesome job. But one questions does that globe look like the deathstar or is it just me? Maybe thats just my inner Star Wars geek coming out though.

ReplyDeleteAlways love your stuff Kay!!!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn R on the other pages!

What a great way to use the stamps. I LOVE that globe. This is a great technique for a spinner card. Just wind up the heart several times before closing the card and watch it spin when the recipient opens it. Thanks for taking part in the hop. We can always rely on Club Scrap!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea...winding up the heart before putting it in the envelope! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWhile I don't have a globe stamp (yet), I see so many applications for this technique with my current supplies. Thank you so much for the awesome inspiration as well as the tutorial. Lori Law

ReplyDeleteI love the design of the heart card. Globes seem to be a necessity for masculine cards. I like the way the sentiment is stamped multiple times with one being darker for emphasis.
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous to see a stamp used in 3 different ways -- and such creative ways, at that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in today's OWH Blog Hop.

ReplyDeleteLove all of these cards...especially the last one with the heart! So appropriate!
ReplyDeleteThanks or the inspiration!
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous idea and thank you for supporting OWH
ReplyDeleteLove the globe...to bad it seems to be out of stock already! Couldn't pick a favorite of the three cards, they're all great. Masculine cards can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, so thanks for the inspiration! Thank you for all your support of OWH!!
