Hello there, crafty friends. I’m thrilled to be part of THIS Blog Hop celebrating THIS new release. I have a card set to share that features pre printed sentiment strip backgrounds…
I’m a big fan of the pre printed sentiments from Simon Says Stamp. They are intended to cut apart and use the sentiments individually, but I decided to keep the panel whole and use as a background.
VIDEO
I’m excited to bring more video content. You can watch the video on how I created these cards HERE or click on the video below…
The sentiment strip panels are printed with toner ink which means they are compatible with foiling. The foiling that I did on these cards are not the foiling that you do with the Glimmer Hot Foil Machine. That is a different process with different foil.
I chose four different colors of Thermoweb’s DecoFoil and laid them on top of the panels (pretty side of the foil facing up) and ran them through my MINC machine inside a carrier sheet. I used my MINC machine but you can also use a laminator.
On top of the foiling, I laid the Stained Glass Cross stencil on top and applied Distress Oxide ink using an ink blending tool. The foil resists the ink. I finished off the design by adding heart embellishments cut from different specialty cardstocks using the Mini Hearts Party Die.
I used the second half of the stencil to ink blend a cross on the inside of the card too to tie everything together…
I hope this inspires you to use the sentiment strip panels as a background and do some foiling and stenciling on top.

Hi, Heather – You have spoiled us, as usual, with many beauties to admire and emulate. Your lead is off-the-charts pretty AND clever. Using a whole card of the sentiment strips is SO SMART! And then with the cross and the color – perfect! That pull-apart stamp made such gorgeous cards, too… I have been trying to be “good” but this release may be my downfall. I also love the bird card. I’m holding off on that b/c I have bought a bird in some incarnation or other in every release recently. But those florals… I’m a sucker for those! Thanks for keeping the cross in Easter!
