Captain America Shield, Fun Fold Card


Captain America Shield
I wanted to share one of my most popular items from Easy. Our Captain America fans out there love this card.  It is a fun fold card too!

Stampin Up makes a template for this design but I just do it by hand.  I simply score the card at the 4.25 mark for the center fold.  Then again at the 2.125".  You can put your cutting plate rite up to the line that you want to cut but do not go over it and run it once through your Big Shot.  This will only cut on the one side where you had your plate.


Tools: Circle Framelit, Star Framelit

Techniques: Fun Fold Card
Paper: Real Red, Whisper White, Not Quite Navy

Watercolored Thank You

Watercolored Thank You
Hey Stampers!

Sorry its been so long.  I have a gem for you today.  This stamp comes from the You've Got This from SU.  It was watercolored with Elegant Eggplant.

The trick to water coloring is to start at the base and go over the same parts several times to make that darker and then work your way to the top.  This gives a nice shading effect.

The white Matt was pressure embossed and cut out with the label of love framellt.  This was also popped up using dimensionals.

Stamps: You've Got This, Thank You
Tools: Fancy Fan Embossing Folder, Lots of Labels Framelit

Accessories: Ribbon
Techniques: Pressure Embossing

I know that watercoloring can be tricky and sometimes feel very daunting but give it a try!
