Cover Die Eclipse

Video:   Stamp & Chat with Gina K. - this is a VERY long video.  It is easier to follow the steps below (copied from SplitcoastStampers website).

Supplies:

• Card stock
• Ink
• Large image (or grouping of several smaller images)
• Cover die (or several smaller dies)

Technique Instructions:

Following the video above ...

• Using your Misti, stamp two card fronts with the same large image (or grouping of smaller images).  Background stamps, large florals, etc. work well.
• Using a cover die, cut ONE of the stamped panels.  If desired for texture, cut more blank pieces with this same die and glue them into a stack with the stamped one on top.
• Glue the stamped cover die-cuts onto your second stamped panel, being sure to perfectly line up the stamped patterns.
• Note:  if you don't have any cover dies, use multiple small shape dies to cut the second panel and put them in place.

These instructions are listed on the sidebar by technique for easy access.

It's a great reference for all of us! :)

Video:  Split 4 Stamping Technique by Creative Treehouse

Supplies:

• Full sheet of regular cardstock (8 1/2" x 11") (or watercolour or mixed media paper)
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Stamps (or stencils)
• Ink

Technique Instructions:

Following the video above ...

• Using pencil and ruler, light draw lines to divide full sheet of card into four equal parts (each part is the size of an A2 card - 4 1/4" x 5 1/2").
• Ink up your stamps and stamp at the center of the full sheet of paper.  Using the lines as guides, make sure your stamping is from the center out on each of the four areas.  You can use a stencil instead, sponging inks to create your designs.
• Cut the four areas apart and you have four card fronts.  Finish cards.
