Saturday Spotlight Stamper - Deb Vine

 This week my Saturday Spotlight Stamper is Deb Vine, and what a collection of cards she had to share with me.  Deb used a variety of elements on her cards, let's see what she did.

The first card uses the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper to show off her pretty layout of flowers.

What better way to show off and use up Designer Series Paper but with our next card. It also uses the Tasteful Touches stamp set found in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog on Page 124.
I just loved this card, Deb used the stamp set Arrange a Wreath with the matching Wreath Builder Dies.You can find this very versatile set on Page 127 of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.
What a beautiful Easter card, the doily is such a beautiful addition.

To make the center step of the Magenta Madness card base, follow these instructions for cutting & scoring:

On the 5-1/2” side, cut 1-1/4” from each end from 1” to 5-1/4” and then

On the 8-1/2” side, score up to the cut line at 1”, 2”, and 5-1/4” on each end and score

between the cut lines at 4-1/4”


To cut the Basic White layer to fit on the front of the center step card, follow these instructions for cutting:

On the 5-3/8” side line up the right edge at 1-1/4” and cut down to 3-1/4”, then rotate

counter clockwise and line up the right edge at 7/8” and cut down to 1-1/4”. Repeat this

on the left edge.

Instructions:


  • Fold the Magenta Madness so that it is a mountain fold at the fold between the two cut lines, also at 5-1/4” and 1” and a valley fold at 2” to form your center step card.

  • Adhere the two 1” wide strips of DSP to the two 1-1/8” wide layers of Basic White and then adhere to the center step card on the outer edge of the card using Liquid Glue

  • Cut out with the coordinating dies along with the piece to attach to the joey to add in the pouch of the large kangaroo.

  • Using Glue dots, attach the joey to the little piece of Basic White and then tuck into the pouch of the Kangaroo and adhere the two to the center section of the step card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

So let's look at the cards that I created to celebrate this special stamp set. The stamp set Treasures of Life can be located in the January-June Mini Catalog on page 71. Do you have special Treasures of Life in your life? Or know a grandparent? Then you need this set.
