I have created my own mask by die cutting using the Fancy Labels Dies #2 with copy paper. I have used copy paper as this makes a thin layer so when stamping it stamps close to the edge of the mask straight onto the cardstock.

I have used an array of blue inks and silver pigment ink for stamping the images from Build a stocking stampset.

To make the die cut edge a little more defined I have used the lightest blue ink with a blending tool and blended the blue with a very light tough only.

I lifted the mask off to reveal the stamped image.  You will find this method can also be easily used as a 1 layer card option as well.

I have used a step up version by layering the stamped card stock on another white layer with foam mount tape which is then matted onto a black cardstock base.

  

I have stamped the image from Festive Greetings with Onyx Black Versafine Ink.

To finish embellishing the card I have added some silver star sequins and glossy accents to the stampset silver stars.

Hi All, Welcome to today's Blog Post. Today I am focusing on using a stampset which has many sentiments in the one set and I have taken advantage of the sentiments by creating my own typographical type background.   The stampset used for today's card in the fairly new release stampset "Beer Lovers".

Beer Lovers

You will need plenty of clear blocks ready on hand as I found having the stamps already mounted on their blocks helped switching them around whilst stamping and inking up on your card stock.  I have kept to a black and white theme with a pop of colour for the glass of beer.

Each card has their own design and I have show cased that you can use rectangles and squares to achieve this overall typographic look.

To add some extra cardstock layers to the card I have used a stitched circle die yet still keeping the overall design clean and simple.

The above card has an added layer of Vellum this can help soften such a strong striking background and muting the text.

Each card has glossy accents that has been applied to all Beer stamped images. including the black and coloured beer.

I hope this blog post has inspired you to use your stampsets in other ways. 

Happy Paper Crafting Peeps.
