CTMH Winged Masterpiece SOTM Blog Hop - March 2021

Welcome to the March 2021 SOTM Blog Hop featuring the stamp set Winged Masterpiece. This month we have just shy of 20 CTMH Makers sharing projects created with the CTMH Stamp Of The Month Winged Masterpiece. Keep visiting the next blog (typically via a link near the bottom of the post) to get back to the blog where you started.

Winged Masterpiece Stamp Set

I recently saw some cards described as 2 in 1 Thank You cards. The cards were stamped with a floral design, but I thought the Winged Masterpiece stamp set, the butterfly in particular, would be a great set to try this technique. The cards were larger than the CTMH cards, so I took the measurements to Cricut Design Space® and played around until I was happy with measurements that would look good on CTMH's 5½" × 4¼" card bases.

Here are my cards side-by-side.

In case this technique is unfamiliar to you, a stamp platform is used to stamp the image in the same location on White and a colored cardstock. Then the image on the White cardstock is colored. When the coloring is complete, cut the two stamped images apart and mix up the pieces. Layer them on Black cardstock and use a strip of Black cardstock to mask the seam.

This was a fun and easy card to make.

And both cards are pretty in their own right (if I do say so myself).

Here is a screenshot of Cricut Design Space® when I was re-working the cutting details to fit on a CTMH card. The top measurements are from the pattern I saw online and the bottom measurements are those I used when creating my cards.

2 in 1 Thank You Card Pattern

I cut a piece of White Daisy and a piece of Wisteria at 4" × 5¼" and two pieces of Black at 4¼" × 5½". Using a stamp platform I stamped the butterfly on White Daisy and on Wisteria using Intense Black. I colored the image on White Daisy using the TriBlend™ Markers. When that was complete I cut both the White Daisy and Wisteria at 2¾" from the top. I placed the top of the White Daisy and the bottom of the Wisteria on one card and the bottom of the White Daisy and top of the Wisteria on the other card. I cut a strip of Black cardstock at ⅝" × 5¼" and, after stamping and heat embossing (I am giving you a sneak peek at the February 2021 SOTM), I placed it across the seam. I placed the strip a little lower when the colored image was at the top of the card and a little higher when the colored image was at the bottom of the card. After seeing the card in the photo, I have decided it needs some gems, pearls or sequins; I will be adding them, but it is too dark here to get new photos before the hop.

I am anxious to try this technique again, but this time cutting the image from top to bottom or maybe diagonally. I think it would be fun. I actually have some Grape cardstock cut and stamped, but I ran out of time to color and finish the cards.
