Cards from My Stamp A Stack
Here are 5 of the cards that were made at the stamp a stack.

Retro Snowflake

Materials
Cream, Light, Med and Dark Brown Cardstock
Printed Paper/Cardstock
Palette Burnt Umber TT-218
White craft ink
2 types of coordinating ribbon
Ornamental Snowflakes T2796
Tape runner
Yes Glue F273

Take one of each piece of precut cardstock. Stamp the snowflake on the Medium brown cardstock, let dry – use heat gun to help. Once dry, stamp the same snowflake using the Burnt Umber over the white image – off centering it just slightly. This will make a 3-d effect. Once dry – adhere with yes glue the med brown layer to the cream layer, then to the dark brown layer. Adhere this whole layer to the center top of the printed-paper. Cut 2 pieces of ribbon – one of each (a little larger than 4 ¼”) – adhere with tape runner. Adhere whole layer with yes glue to the card base. Add additional pieces of ribbon to decorate.

Lapis Snowflake

Materials
Lapis and White Cardstock
Patterned Cardstock/paper
Martha Stewart Lapis Glitter
Palette Stamp and Stick Glue Pad S03
Tidy Tray C1233
Lapis ribbon
Ornamental Snowflakes T2796
Yes Glue F273
Tape runner
Marvy Heat Tool F163
Take one of each piece of precut cardstock. Adhere the larger snowflake piece to the larger Lapis colored cardstock using the Yes Glue. Using the same glue adhere this layer to the upper left corner of the card spacing it about ¼ inch from the top and side edge. Next cut a piece of ribbon slightly longer that 5 ½ inches and adhere to card using the tape runner. On your smallest piece of white cardstock stamp the snowflake into the Palette Stamp and Stick glue pad. Heat the glue ink with the Marvy Heat tool until tacky. Next pour the Lapis glitter onto the snowflake. The ink will act as a glue causing the glitter to stay on the snowflake. Let the snowflake sit for a short while. Adhere the smaller lapis cardstock to the smaller snowflake paper, then add the glittered snowflake on top. Adhere this 3 layer square near the lower right hand corner overlapping the ribbon and larger piece attached earlier. Add additional ribbon to decorate like in the example above.

Then attach the smaller piece of printed-paper to the upper part of the card (vertical stripes going up and down) about ¼” from the top and sides. Take the red strip of cardstock and punch the board with the Martha Stewart hand punch. Adhere this piece of cardstock to the center where the two pieces of cardstock meet. Using the glue pen, adhere Joy to the bottom right had corner. Stamp Santa using the Noir Black on to the white cardstock. Color in Santa’s hat and face. Using the liquid appliqué - a little goes a long way – decorate Santa’s hat, beard, mustache and eyebrows. Using the heat tool apply heat to the appliqué until it starts to “puff” up.
