Side Step card With 3D Images

Hullo there everyone .. Shaz  here again with another DT post for Bizzy Bec's. Branching out into the unknown today, with a side step card!! For a very special birthday, you see! Here is a peek!

To be perfectly honest I like simple layouts. These fancy folds are not simple layouts! Bec has a great die that makes variations on this side stepping card, it is here. Used a simple template I had for rough guide, working it out on scoreboard. Took two goes scoring to get it right, wanted it bigger than template.

Used the Frantic Stamper Dies - Chevron Borders & Edgers (2) - make a whole sheet for background of alternating chevrons. Glued down one at time, kept them in order as cut the individual ones, so as to keep *colour graduations, yes fiddly plus but great effect. *used pre-coloured sheet.

Base for image done, then cut it with largest die of SB Pierced Rectangles

Stamped two images (one for base, one for 3D image) of the Wild Rose Stamps - Dragon Birthday in Versafine Black Onyx, and clear heat embossed.

Die cut a pink scalloped base with Spellbinder Petite scallop (Disc.) and one image with Cottage Cutz Stitched Oval die (they fit spellbinder oval dies very well).
While still in stitched die, ink coloured the background to match colours used on other image already coloured with Tombow markers. Fussy cut around the coloured dragon image, cutting into the folds of the image. Lay image on shaping mat face down, shape the image, with shaping tool to get 3D effect with minimal layers. Attached to base image with silicone glue and allow to dry.
See here for Tutorial to do it this way.

Penny Black "In The Garden" + How to do Simple 3D Stamped Images

Hi folks - Shaz here with another tutorial! :D
There is much more "how to" detail on my blog, if you hop over there. 

This is 3D images with stamps - a favourite in this instance, Penny Black!
Bec has such exceptional prices on these, I was thrilled when saw:
Penny Black in the Garden on Bec's site (pre-order)!

Here is the first card made with this set, not done in 3D. Stamped in black + embossed, coloured with watercolour markers. Then decided to 3D the second card.
 {Used: **Penny Black "In the Garden" stamp set  **Memory Box Pinpoint circles. }

You create your own scene with these images, as there are all different elements from which to chose. 1. I always practise on a scrap sheet before leaping onto good paper.
2. I stamp on 80gsm paper, a light card, as heavy card is harder to shape well.
3. Used to do more stamping for 3D work. I find you really don't need to do lots of multiple stamping (see here for full explanation).

Here is the amount of stamping for this 3D scene. A good background, then elements you wish to 3D on another piece. The cat and basket will be cut out separately, so they are shaped and glued individually.
Items used: *Shaping Tool *Foam molding mat *Silicone glue - available from Bec.

This is the finished second card which was done with 3D.
  Items used: **Pre-order Blackberry Lane papers by Wild Rose Studio pads  **Pre-order Our Daily Bread Beautiful Borders die set.

Close up of 3D work, coloured with same pens, background sponged while still in die to get crisp white shadow edge, with Distress ink and hand cut hills + clouds mask.

Well, I do hope this is clear for you - there is more detail over here, with many more pictures.

I have learnt how to do these after seeing it first done at a craft show in Brisbane in 2010.
They are so much fun!

 Thanks so much everyone for popping over and saying hi!
