 Ευχαριστούμε όλοι στο Σταμμούνσα Σταμμούνσα we are celebrating a whole month dedicated to stamping with new releases, giveaways and lots and lots of inspiration, so I will be creating three cards today using the same die, this is the die that I will be using, the party one, it is from the new release and I will be showing you three different ways to use it just to give you some ideas. So first of all I am going to use one of the pattern papers that come in this pattern paper pad, I have chosen to go with pink but this particular design is super easy to recreate so you can use any pattern paper at this stage. So first of all I am going to cut out a panel, this is a rectangle die which is also by Simon's stamp and it has a nice stitching, I am going to place the party die inside. The first thing that comes in your mind when you see such a die is to create a sacred card of course so I am going to create a sacred card for you which is quick and easy to do and you can make party tensions in no time. You can use any pattern paper that you have at home or to match the theme of your party and of course you can use any sequence that you like, so I am placing some adhesive at the back and I am going to stick the acetate at the back of the pattern paper so I can create my window. As always you can find all the supplies that I am using today for all three cards just below in the details area as well as on my blog. So I am using my scissors to cut out all the excess acetate and once my window was ready I used my die cutting machine to die cut out of white cardstock the party ward. Now I am making sure that I separate it carefully, it is nicely cut out but I need to poke out all those little areas. So I am going to stick it just inside that big hole. Now I am going to use some mat medium at the back and I have put mat medium inside this fine tip applicator which makes my job really easy. So I am going to use my tweezers and place it right inside that hole and on top of the acetate. I am going to use my big roll of foam adhesive at the back and I am going to create a wall all around that window. So when I am going to add the sequence inside this is going to make sure that they will not go anywhere when I shake the card. For the inside of my window I have decided to go with pink sequence and I am also going to add some silver ones as well as add a little bit of glitter at the end. I think I will be using pink glitter. Now I love adding glitter inside because it adds an extra shimmer and I really like the outcome. So I will go ahead and add a little bit of that glitter in there and then all that is left to do is to cover up the background. So for my background I have this piece of scrap paper and you see that it already has a hole but that really does not matter. I am going to use some tape adhesive and then stick this window on top of my card base. For my card base today I am using some standard top folding card that is 4.25 x 5.5. So that is the first card it is super simple and I think this die really is made for this type of cards. So let's go ahead and make a second card. You will find close up photos of the first card at the end of this video. For the second card I am going for a more elegant themed card. So first of all I have cut out 3 party die cuts out of this die and I am using one of them VersaMarking. So I am going to make sure that I cover up the whole party world and then I am going to do some embossing. For my embossing I have decided to go with Platinum by Ranger and I really love this silver embossing powder. I am going to make sure that I cover up the whole world party but I will not pay any attention to the ring all around. You really need to make the most out of your supplies so I am going to show you how you can use this die without the ring. You just cut it out and you keep only the world party. And by doing so you only have the world so this open up a whole new window to add to more ideas. So as you can see I am using my scissors to separate it from the ring all around. First of all I am going to make the separation but you will see that at the end I will be using my scissors to round up the edges of the world. You will see what I mean in a bit. Now that I have all those 3 words separated I am going to use my glue and I am going to stick one on top of the other. So this is going to make a final party word that is nice and stable and it is quite thick so it is going to be a nice element for the focal point of my card. I am going to stick the one that is embossed on top and as you can see I am using some glue pen. This is nice because I can have a few seconds to move the die cards on top of each other until I am sure that they are nicely stacked. Now I can use my scissors and just because this is too thick I will be using my teamhold scissors to round up the edges. This is where I separated the word from the ring so I need to make this look nice and finished. For my card I will be using a standard card that is 4.25 x 5.5 and I decided to go with that pattern paper which is nice and elegant. So for the card base I am going to go around the edges with my VersaMarking and this is because I want to do some embossing at the edges. As you can see I wasn't very neat because this is not going to show just only a little border around the edges is going to show once I stick down the pattern paper. So for the sentiment I can go with birthday party or I can go with crazy party or best party ever. You can just be creative by using the stamps that you already have. So for my card today I decided to go with anniversary so I am going to stamp anniversary party and this can be a nice and elegant card for an anniversary. This is again a quick and easy design and of course you don't have to stack up the party dies one on top of the other to make it quicker. And of course you can change the colors, the pattern paper and you have a whole new card with the same design depending on your needs for the party invitation. I am embossing the word anniversary on a piece of vellum as you can see and I have used the same embossing powder as I did on the party die cut. So I am going to place it there I decided where I want this to go and now I can stick the word party on top of the vellum. To stick it down I am using my glue pen and I want to place it in such a way so I have a nice nesting of the word anniversary between the word party. Now I can place it on top of my panel and this is a slightly smaller than my card base and I can fold the vellum at the back. I always believe that adding vellum on a card really gives it a touch of elegance so I think for an anniversary card it is a must. And now that I have folded my vellum I can use some tape adhesive at the back and secure the vellum in place. To stick this panel on top of my card base I will be using some foam tape to add a little bit of dimension. But of course if you are recreating this card and mass producing it as a party invitation you can just use your tape adhesive to stick it down since it's quicker and much cheaper. And now you can see the silver border that perfectly matches my card. So let's go to card 3 you can see a close up photos of card 2 at the end of the video. For the third card I am going with something really fun and colourful. So first of all I am going to use this Simon Says Stampa stencil that has nice polka dots and I am going to apply some glass bead glitter. This is a product by Fiber Castell you can apply it over a stencil with your spatula as I am doing here. I am applying a generous amount with my spatula because I want to have a nice dimension. When this dries it gives you a really nice texture of glass beads and those glass beads sparkle when you move the card. And they also give a beautiful texture that you want to touch it all the time. So anyway I am going to move this aside to dry and I am going to put back all that medium that's left on the stencil and on my craft mat. And I am going to go and wash it at the moment because if this dries on top of my stencil it's going to ruin it. Now this is the outcome I have left it to dry for about half an hour and I really love the outcome I don't know if you can see the sparkle. So this is going to be my panel and I am going to stick there the word party which I have die cut with the die as well as those three balloons that I have used a die by Simon Says Stamp from an older release. I have used Simon Says Stamp cardstock for all my die cuts both the balloons and the party die cut. And just like I did on card 2 I have used my scissors to cut out the ring that was all around the word party. I am using my glue pen at the back and I am going to stick it towards the bottom of my panel. This design is also quick and easy to mass produce and especially if you do everything in steps. So first you do all your panels with the stenciling then you do all your die cutting and then you do this face which is the assembly. I am going to add some foam squares at the back of the balloons and I am going to decide where I am going to place them. And for the strings of the balloons I will be using my thread and needle and I am going to tie them from the word party. First I am going to make some holes so that I know where my needle is going to go and now I can add the strings of the balloons. Now that I have all the strings in place I am going to add some tape adhesive to secure them at the back and I can place the balloons on top. I am going to stick two balloons one close to the other overlapping each other and the other one I am going to add it going outside of this panel. I always like to do this because they give a nice interesting effect. So now that my main panel is ready I am going to add some glitter with my clear Wink of Stella glitter pen because I watch a party invitation without some glitter. So I went over my party world as well as the balloons and I hope you can see the shimmer at the moment. And this is the panel which I am going to stick on a top folding card. This is a standard card that is four and a quarter by five and a half and I have created it out of red cardstock by Simon Says Stamp. I am using my tape runner at the back of my panel and I am going to stick it at the center of the card. And here are all three cards that I made today. I hope I gave you some ideas on how you can use this die to create a simple party invitation for any occasion. So here are some close up photos of the three cards that I made for you today.
