How to Create Simple Dimensional Valentines Scene Cards

Hello! I’m a huge fan of the Anita Jeram collection and I know you are too. When Colorado Craft Company sent me the stamps and coordinating dies for their January release, I knew I wanted to use them all. Here’s how I created two dimensional cards with Ever Thine stamp and die set from the January release.

When I get several new stamps at the same time, I want to use them all right away of course! Never gonna happen. But what I do is stamp all the images onto the appropriate paper for the medium I wish to use, this time it was Neenah cardstock for Copic Markers. Now I have images to color whenever I wish!

Sometimes I’ll pull out all the markers I think I’ll need. In the case of these stamps, I also pulled out items that would make good backgrounds. The Copic Markers used today are:

W1,W3, W5, C1, C3, C5, RV17, RV52, RV55, R24, R27, R29, R30, R59

1. Using the Tim Holtz Layering Stencil-Bricked and Bristol Smooth paper cut to 4 x 5 1/4”, blend on Hero Arts Taffy Reactive Ink. Splatter with water and watered down Taffy Ink.

2. Stamp the images with Gina K Designs Amalgam ink in Obsidian. Color and die cut images.

3. Stamp the sentiment on Hero Hues Azalea cardstock with Embossing and Watermark Ink. Sprinkle on White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. Die cut sentiment.

4. Stamp sub sentiment on Azalea cardstock with Raspberry Jam ink. Trim to size.

5. Die cut the image and sentiment twice more from white cardstock. Adhere together with liquid glue for dimension.

6. Add everything to panel with liquid glue.

7. I used RV17 Copic marker to change the heart color. Adhere them with liquid glue.

8. Add panel to white A2 card base with foam adhesive.

I’m sharing how I colored the images for the next card on IGTV today if you want to check it out!

1. Emboss a piece of 4 x 5 1/4” Neenah cardstock with the heart embossing folder (this one is from Cuttlebug but appears to be discontinued. You could try this one instead.)
   
2. Blend Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide gently over the embossed hearts. I used a blending foam.

3. Stamp the images with Gina K Designs Amalgam ink in Obsidian. Color and die cut images.

4. Stamp the sentiment onto Hero Hues Cranberry cardstock with Embossing and Watermark Ink. Sprinkle with White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. Die cut sentiment with coordinating die.

5. Die cut the images and sentiment twice more from white cardstock. Adhere together with liquid glue. Adhere to panel with liquid glue.

6. Adhere panel to A2 white card base with foam tape.

I apologize if this tutorial is lacking in my normal detail. I have a pinched nerve in my back that’s making everything difficult. I hope you’ll leave any questions in the comments below.
