Hi, how are you all ? How did your weekend go? Hope you managed to stay cool! Thankfully, I was able to hide away in the studio to create a quick tutorial using the Treasures of Life stamp set.

I absolutely adore this stamp set and I cannot believe that I hadn’t inked it up before. I think I made one card when I first received the set but since then it has been left on the shelf and now unfortunately, it has been retired. It will always remain in my stash though!

Anyway, here is my card using my favourite image. I love seeing adult hands holding a Childs hand, just something about it.

Quick tutorial using the Treasures of Life stamp set

Cut your base card from Basic White card stock, to measure 14.8cm x 21cm, score on long side at 10.5cm. Fold and burnish your card.

Then cut a piece of Basic White which needs to measure 14.3cm x 10cm. You then need to place in the Tasteful Textile embossing folder and run it through your cut/embossing machine, adhere flat to your card.

From Fresh Freesia card stock, you will need to cut a piece which measures 11cm x 8cm. Adhere flat to your base card.

Die cut a large label from the Stitched So Sweetly dies from Basic white cardstock, one gold circle approx 6.5cm from gold foil and another circle approx 6cm from basic white card stock.

Wrap your ribbon around the large white label die cut and tie a bow and then be adhere flat to your Fresh Freesia mat. Remember to leave room for your circles placement.

On your 6cm circle, you can now stamp your image using Crumb cake Stampin’ Pad. Colour your image however you wish. This is then adhered flat to your Gold circle. Now place onto card using dimensionals.

There is no video this week as I have been away, attending a family wedding.
