Julie's Creative Stamping: Nothings Better Than Working with Angles

Thanks for popping by today! I don't know about you but I looooove Chocolate. I've always said it needs to be a food group! So when I saw this "Nothings Better Than" stamp set I couldn't resist. For this card I wanted to use shapes to create a card so thus the triangles! I've included a video of this card just in case the pictures below don't explain well enough how I cut the angles and added the ribbon. Hope you enjoy! Don't forget to leave me a comment below! I'd love to hear from you!

Layer 3 – Very Vanilla – 2 ½ x 4

Layer 4 – Early Espresso – 3 x 3 (video show larger piece because I was going to cut out more words later)

Layer 5 – Misty Moonlight – 4 1/8 x 5 3/8

Layer 6 – Whisper White – 4 x 5 ¼

Instructions:

· Layer 1 – Using a paper trimmer cut piece in half at a diagonal.

· Set aside

· Layer 2 – Using a pencil and ruler, mark up 2” on the 4” side

Using a paper trimmer line up pencil mark in the cutting track and cut down to corner.

Here’s the tricky part. You will want to wrap your ribbon around both Layer 1 and Layer 2 before adhering them to the card front.

· Note: This next step you will do before adhering either layer down –

· First place a glue dot behind Layer 2 right at the top corner – Wrap ribbon around this edge.

Next lay Layer 1 and 2 in place and stretch ribbon over to Layer 1. Using pencil mark where it needs to lay.

Then turn Layer 1 over apply adhesive to the back!

· Turn back over making sure not to set down and stretch ribbon over edge making sure that when it all lays down it will be tight and straight.

· Now your ready to adhere Layer 1 and 2 to the card front as shown.

· I did Layer 1 first - . I did add some Multipurpose Liquid glue to the tips to get a good hold.

Adhere Layer 1 to the right side of the card front keeping bottom and right edges flush. (Note: it will not reach all the way to the left side of the card front.

Now add Layer 2 – I used Mulitpurpose Liquid glue for this one so that I would have some wiggle room to lay it down straight.

So this is what it should look like when you have both sides adhered in place!

· Using the Starburst stamp image stamp along the edge of Layer 1 in Soft Suede Ink as shown.

· Also stamp the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink onto the card front as shown.

· Layer 3 – Using the Nothings Better Than stamp set

i. Stamp the Detailed cookie image in Early Espresso Ink

ii. Stamp the Solid Cookie Image over the Detailed image in Crumb Cake ink

· Stamp 1 Chocolate (2 step stamping)

i. Stamp Detailed chocolate in Early Espresso ink

ii. Stamp Solid Chocolate over the Detailed image in Soft Suede ink

· Using the Love You More Than Dies cut out the Cookies and Chocolate.

· Adhere to card front as shown. I did pop up the cookie in the front with a stampin dimensional

· Layer 4 – Apply Adhesive sheet to back side.

· Using the Love You More Than Dies cut out the words “Cookie” and “Chocolate”

· Adhere to card front as shown.

· Layer 5 – Adhere to inside of card.
