Sweet And Simple Card To Say Hello
Learn how to create your own letterpress elements to make this simple card
Die-cut the selected die twice from scrap card, and once from vellum. You’ll need two complete homemade letterpress elements.
Use glue to adhere all three die-cuts together, making sure you add the vellum one to the bottom.
Ink up the homemade letterpress element, adding the ink directly to the vellum side.
Repeat the process in Step 3 for the second letterpress element.
Place the cardstock onto the embossing mat then carefully flip over the inked letterpress elements and add them to the card front.
Run through your die-cutting machine using the same sandwich you would use to emboss a die, then carefully remove the letterpress elements.
When the ink is dry, die-cut the main panel using a stitched rectangle die and die-cut ‘hello’ from white cardstock. Swipe the inkpads onto white cardstock, then cut a panel to back the sentiment with and matt together.
Add to the card front using 3D foam pads as shown, then add gems and use Stardust pens to add a faux-stitched border to finish.
