For this week’s class I have focused on the Half Full stamp set. This set originally featured in the Autumn/ Winter 2017 catalogue and was carried over and we now know it will be in the new Annual Catalogue which launches on the 1^st June. This wine related set has great images and sentiments which will take you throughout the whole year.

Card Number 1- Row of Glasses

We started with a Whisper White panel 4⅛” by 1⅞” and stamped the ‘small row of glasses’, twice in Archival Basic Gray ink. When the ink was dry we coloured in all but one of the glasses using the So Saffron Marker. The final glass was coloured using the Rich Razzleberry Marker pen. Over the top of the Rich Razzleberry we added a layer of Fine-Tip Glue to add shine and dimension to the card before setting the piece to one side for the glue to dry. When the glue had dried we added a ½” strip of Basic Gray cardstock to the top and bottom of the panel with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

We stamped a ‘row of bottles’ across the bottom of a Rich Razzleberry card base using Rich Razzleberry ink. We stamped the sentiment in Archival Basic Gray ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the Tailored Tag Punch. We also punched a tag using the same punch from So Saffron cardstock. The 2 were glued together with Tombow Liquid Adhesive with a small border of the So Saffron cardstock showing at the bottom. We added the sentiment piece to the 4⅛” by 1⅞” stamped panel with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

This whole panel was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. We added a layer of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” to the inside of the card and stamped the row of glasses on the bottom and also onto the front of a Whisper White envelope.

Card Number 2 – Three Panel card

For the 2^nd card we stamped the ‘bottle’ image onto a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock 5” by 1¾” using Archival Basic Gray ink. Using the same ink we stamped the ‘large wine glass’ onto a 3” by 1¾” piece of Tranquil Tide cardstock and the ‘row of small glasses’ onto a 1¾” by 1¾” piece of So Saffron cardstock. The sentiment was stamped in  Archival Basic Gray ink onto a 2” by ⅝” scrap of Whisper White cardstock.

We wrapped a small piece of ribbon Basic Gray Shimmer Ribbon around the top of the Rich Razzleberry panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape we then added a bow in the same ribbon to the front with a Mini Glue Dot.

The 3 stamped panels were then added to a 5¼” by 3¾” piece of Whisper White cardstock using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The sentiment was then added on Stampin’ Dimensionals and the whole panel added to a Thick Whisper White card base with Tombow.

Card Number 3 – Gate-Fold

We started the card with a panel of Tranquil Tide cardstock 8¼” by 5⅞” which I had scored at either end, on the long side, at 2¹⁄₁₆”. We folded and burnished the score lines then stamped either the ‘wine bottles’ or ‘large glasses’ onto both front panels in Tranquil Tide ink.

The ladies then chose a sentiment from the Half Full, Thoughtful Banners or Beautiful Bouquet stamp sets and stamped these in either Archival Basic Gray or Tranquil Tide ink onto a 3¼” by 3¼” piece of Whisper White cardstock. They stamped the ‘bottle’ and the ‘large glass’ onto the same panel using the Archival Basic Gray ink.

Using the new Detailed Trio Punch they punched one corner of the Whisper White panel and the same corner on a panel of Basic Gray cardstock 3⅜” by 3⅜” and glued the 2 together with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. Stampin’ Dimensionals or glue was then added to the left had side of the panel which was then added to the left hand flap of the card front.

A layer of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” was stamped with the ‘wine bottle’ or ‘large glass’ and added to the inside of the card and the same image was stamped on the bottom of a Whisper White envelope.

We all really enjoyed making these great male cards this month. Hope you like them.
