A quick post today to share my stepped up versions of the Country Home Stepped Up Simple Saturdays.

The point of of these stepped up versions is to share details of other cards made with the actual stamps used on the Simple Stamping version. Some involve techniques others additional items such as punches, double sided paper and or dies.

Country Home Stepped Up Version 1

Country Home Stepped Up version 1

To make the medallion on the card

  • Stamp four individual tiles  in Berry Burst ink and cut out by hand.
  • Then stamp four Fresh Fig tiles in a large square. The centre circle formed by the four tiles is then punched out using a 3/4″ Circle Punch.
  • Fix the four individual tiles to a 2′” x 2″ square of Berry Burst using foam pads and then fix the Fresh Fig circle to the centre using another foam pad.
  • Fix the Berry Burst square to a Fresh Fig square 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″ that has been glued to the Whisper White panel on the card front.

Stepped Up Version 2

A stepped up version using paper snips, laser cut paper and dies.

Country Home Stepped Up version 2

To make the medallion on this card

  • Stamp five individual tiles, one each in Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide, Berry Burst and Fresh Fig and then cut out using paper snips.
  • Die cut a stitched rectangle from a piece of Tranquil Tide cardstock. Then re cut the rectangle moving the long of the die to create a thinner rectangle.
  • Fix the five individual tiles to the Tranquil Tide rectangle using foam pads.
  • Die cut a larger stitched rectangle from a piece of Fresh Fig cardstock. Then re cut the rectangle moving the long of the die to create a thinner rectangle that the Tranquil Tide rectangle will fit into.
  • Fix the Tranquil Tide rectangle to the Fresh Fig rectangle and then fix the whole thing to the card front that a piece of Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Paper has already been fixed to.
