Hero Arts | Color Layering Poppies Thank You Card + Tonic Stamp Platform Tool

Hello, friends! I want to share a simple Thank You card featuring Color Layering Poppies from Hero Arts as well as Stamp Platform Tool from Tonic Studios. This project also uses my Perfect Cardmaking Formula (in case you don’t know what it is – I’m explaining below).

I have already shared a number of cards using new color layering stamps from Hero Arts. Check them out here: Color Layering Water Lilies | Color Layering Fuschia | Color Layering Birds & Blossoms | Color Layering Koi Fish | Color Layering Rooster.

CARD DETAILS

I was lucky to receive a Stamp Platform Tool from Tonic Studios and Scrapbook.com a few days ago and immediately wanted to test it out and create a project. And we all know there’s no better way to test a stamping tool than stamp color layering images! I picked Hero Arts Color Layering Poppy stamp set and coordinating dies.

I filmed a video tutorial for this project, but with all of my travels this month I haven’t had the time to edit it, if you feel you’d like to see a video tutorial for this card – please leave me a comment below and I’ll try to have it ready mid-May.

I used Hero Arts suggested color combo to stamp poppies – Fresh Peach, Pale Tomato, Crimson and Black. You can also use black or clear embossing powder to intensify the centers of these flowers and have them pop (and looking back at this card I wish I had done that, but it was an afterthought).

I cut my images out using coordinating dies in my Platinum 6 die cutting and embossing machine, I also used a beautiful Filigree Bookmark die from Becca Feeken for Spellbinders and cut it out of gold mirror cardstock. I followed my Perfect Cardmaking Formula for this card and went with a gold die cut, pretty flowers and simple sentiment. This formula never fails me!

I used white woodgrain cardstock for my card base and foam mounted my elements on top. My sentiment was heat embossed in white embossing powder onto black cardstock and was adhered using black foam tape. I also added details to the card base using Nuvo Drops in Autumn Red.

TIM HOLTZ TONIC CRAFT STAMP PLATFORM

The Stamp Platform tool I used to help achieve perfect stamping results for this card is scheduled to begin shipping at the end of May. It was supposed to be shipping in April, but was pushed back. Here are some of my thoughts about it:

• I very much enjoyed using this tool for both clear and cling stamps and it seemed very durable and reliable.
• As I was stamping my poppies I had some ink transfer onto the platform but was able to easily clean the base using my Hero Arts Ultra Clean stamp cleaner.
• I loved the fact that the magnets are etched (it says Tonic Studios on one side) and as long as you keep both with the writing either up or down they will not snap together.

I’m looking forward to playing more with the stamp platform and using it in my craft room.
