Loving the Layered Letters Stamp Set!

I’ve always thought Alphabet stamp sets were nice enough, but everytime I got one, I found I didn’t use it that much. Which is why I didn’t order the Layered Letters stamp set right away… but once again my Mom was wiser than me and ordered it. So I got to play with hers…and I think I’m in LOVE!

Yes, I’ve finally found the alphabet stamp set that I can totally imagine using on a regular basis! I think part of it is that it comes with an oval stamp and a rectangle stamp that makes it so you can stamp a background color and then stamp the letter inside the shape, giving you a TON of different options. Like this one (see the yellow behind the letters in “Smile”? It is a stamp!!):

But for my card share today, I kept it simple and just made a simple “HI”. Add some banners and bling and you are good to go!

Tips for making this card:

Keep it quick and simple by starting with just 2 patterns of paper cut to 1”x4-1/4” and 1-1/2” x 4-1/4”. Trim the ends with the Banner Triple Punch in 2 seconds and layer together for the cute splash of color!
Go bold for your sentiment! Start with a bright color (like this Calypso Coral cardstock) and then heat emboss your letters using White embossing powder.
If you haven’t done much heat embossing before, here are the steps:
– rub the surface of your cardstock lightly with an Embossing Buddy to eliminate static and stray embossing powder
– stamp your image using Versamark ink
– cover generously with white embossing powder
– tap off the excess powder… thanks to the embossing powder, it should all tap off except where you stamped
– heat with your heat gun until all the powder melts and becomes nice and shiny
The new 1-1/2” Circle punch is PERFECT for punching out the word “Hi”
Add a few sequins dangling down for that perfect added shine. I just took a 4 1/2” strand and used glue dots to hold it to the back of my punched circle.
