Julie's Creative Stamping: Pampered Pets Press N Seal Technique

One of my favorite techniques is the Press N Seal technique. It makes arranging several pieces on a card so easy. Especially if you are wanting to pop some of the pieces up. This card is made using the Pampered Pets Bundle and product from the Playful Pets Suite from Stampin Up! I needed a sympathy card for a friend of mine who lost a beloved cat. I thought this card would be perfect as all the cats show a different personality found in cats. Hopefully it will uplift and bring back some fun memories of her wonderful cat!

Project Recipe:

Cuts for card: DSP - Designer Series Paper
Card Base: Cinnamon Cider 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Layer 1 - Basic Black - 4 x 5 1/4
Layer 2 - Playful Pets DSP 12 x 12 sheet
Layer 3 - Real Red - 1 x 2 1/2
Layer 4 - Whisper White - 4 x 5 1/4
Layer 1 - Cut out individual cats and ball of yarns from Layer 2 the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper.

3. Now lay out the cats and yarn onto layer 1 as desired. You will want to have some of them partially off the sheet.

4. Take a piece of Press N Seal and carefully cover the cats and yarn trying not to move any of them. Press down to assure the pieces stick to the Press N Seal.

5. Turn sheet over and using a pencil draw lines along edge of Layer 1.

6. Press down then carefully pull the Press N Seal sheet up making sure the cats and yarn stay stuck to the press n seal.

7. Add Stampin Dimensionals to the backs of the cats being careful to pay attention to the part of the cats that will not be on the sheet. Add Liquid glue to the yarn pieces.

8. Remove the backing from the Stampin Dimensionals then carefully lay layer 1 onto the Press N Seal sheet back, lining up with the drawn lines. Turn over then Press down making sure to press the yarn pieces down as well.
