Stampendous Jumbo Damask Leaf Card


I made this adorable card at the CHA 2008 Winter Convention at the Stampendous booth. The Jumbo Damask Class A'Peels stickers were very soft & sticky, but I managed to get them on the card. There are a lot of fun ways to use stickers. One of the things I liked about this card was adding flocking to the sticker to give it some texture. Here are the instructions:

1. Brush Brilliance Sky Blue ink pad directly onto the cardboard portion of the mini clipboard (any piece of chipboard will do). Set aside to dry.

2. Place Jumbo Damask Leaves Class A'Peels on a 5-1/4" x 4" Glamour Bling (by Bazzill) panel. Allow stickers to overlap edges of card. Trim excess with scissors.

3. Adhere blue panel to front of white folded card.

4. Adhere Birthday Oval Class A'Peel sticker to blue panel near the bottom.

5. Round Corners on a 2" x 2-1/4" silver cardstock panel.

6. Select medium sized Damask Leaf and place, sticky side down, in a container of black flocking. I thought this was a neat technique. So, now the sticker has fluffy black flocking on it. (You could do the same with glitter too!) Press sticker onto flocking and then remove from container. Press well to make sure that the flocking sticks to the sticker.

7. Use Zip Dry Paper Adhesive in tiny drops on the other side of the sticker and then adhere sticker to the blue clipboard.

8. Apply Big Monogram Class A'Peel to clipboard (I used a "D").

9. Tie a ribbon through the hole at the top of the clipboard clip.

10. Clip blue clipboard to silver panel with clip and add foam tape to the back of layered clipboard. Position at top of card.
