Rows of wine glasses for a feminine birthday card

Half Full for a feminine birthday card

Today I have been playing with the Half Full stamp set. This lovely set carried over from the Autumn/Winter catalogue and although it does have a couple of Christmas sentiments it is so versatile and makes great masculine cards. Having said that today’s card is for a female friend of mine who is partial to the odd glass of white wine.

Stamping Instructions

I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4¼” by 2⅞”. I placed the panel in the corner of my Stamparatus Stamp Positioning Tool and positioned stamp showing the ‘row of wine glasses’ onto the Whisper White panel at the top before closing the door plate to pick up the stamp.

Using Momento Tuxedo Black ink I inked up the stamp and closed the door plate to stamp the image. I moved the door plate down 1 hinge, inked the stamp up again and repeated. In total I stamped the image 4 times down the panel. I love the precision stamping you get using the hinge method and the Stamparatus.

I removed the stamped panel of Whisper White from the Stamparatus and coloured in 1 glass in each row using the So Saffron Marker Pen. The panel was then added to a piece of Basic Black cardstock 4½” by 3⅛” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment from the In The City stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black in onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 2” by 2” and punched it out using a 1¼” Circle Punch. I added it to a So Saffron circle punched with a 1½” Circle Punch using Tombow Liquid adhesive.

I added a loop of Black Shimmer Ribbon to the back of the sentiment using Fast Fuse Adhesive. The stamped panel was then added to a So Saffron card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the sentiment added in the lower right hand corner
