The All My Love Suite was the first suite I wanted the most when I saw the new Occasions Sneak Peak. I created the card here for a Color Challange. The colors are some of my favorites from Stampin’ Up!. The picture that they used was just beautiful and very inspiring. I know I posted last week about it but today I wanted to give you the details on how to use this and what you need to create it.
For a reminder of the #CI48 challenge colors
So my idea was to use the Forever-Lovely stamp set with the coordinating Lovely Flowers edgelit dies. I found the dies were pretty tricky at first. So since I had trouble making them do what I wanted to do with them I decided to cut them a bit bigger than I needed them to be and then trim them to fit. This is what works best when you have no idea how to use a new set. The video Stampin’ Up! (click here for video) made did not give any tips on how to use it to match up the flower stamps with the coordination die. So I then decided to do some research myself to see what I could find.
Guess what I found?? Using the most versatile tool Stampin’ Up! has works wonders. What tool do you ask? The Stamparatus!!! That’s right the Stamparatus to the rescue AGAIN!!
You cut out your edgelit piece, place it on top of your paper you want to stamp on that is in the Stamparatus. Lay the stamp on top of the die-cut image so that it fits perfectly. Then bring down your plate to pick up the stamp. Remove the die-cut piece, ink up and stamp your image. This should help line them up. I also noticed after playing with the dies that there are flat side edges. Those should line up with the edge of each side of your cardstock. ( pics are below)
If you are having trouble cutting the edgelit straight check out the picture below. Using the flat edge of the edgelit.
Here is the finished card. I am pretty surprised how well it came out when I was so lost at using this set. There are a few more items to The All My Love suite which I will be showing you in the weeks to come. I am sure you can guess that there will be hearts in it!!
I absolutely love this card, I can not wait to make some more items with it for #cardsforlittleheartscarddrive.
