Step By Step for Etched Greetings

  • Cut card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# cardstock to 4.25″ x 11″ and score at 5.5″ for a top fold card.
  • Die cut the background from a piece of white cardstock using the largest A2 Marquee Wafer Die. Adhere to card base and set aside.
  • Cut a piece of Hammermill cardstock to 3.5″ x 4.75″ and stamp the floral images from the Etched Greeting stamp set using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink.
  • Color the flowers with Copic markers (see list below).
  • Die cut the sentiment from the Happy Birthday die from black cardstock (I used Black Licorice by MFT Stamps). Cut the sentiment two more times as well as the shadow die from white cardstock. Glue the layers together using Connect Glue.
  • Cover the sentiment with Glossy Accents. Allow to dry thoroughly.
  • Assemble the layers as shown.

Hope you enjoyed today’s project!

Anita Jeram Family Love | Colorado Craft Company

HEY FRIENDS! Today’s project is another Anita Jeram image pulled from my stash. Sometimes I think that I’m more of a craft collector than a craft user, but I do rummage through my stash periodically to see what I’ve missed. The upcoming birth of a new baby in my extended family prompted me to take a look at what I already had on hand, but hadn’t yet colored. So here we are with Anita Jeram Family Love by Colorado Craft Company.

For some reason, I had trouble coloring bunnies the day I made this card. I haven’t been coloring much lately. More accurately, I haven’t been coloring consistently and with this card it showed. So I gave myself a break and cut off a few bunnies from the original image. Jill has been coloring nearly every day so she took on ALL the bunnies as you’ll see from her card below. Be sure you check out her blog post with all the details!
