Cross Stamps and Dies- Made Easy

Start by stamping the cross from the Cross Stamps and Dies using the Perfect Palette Inks onto the Foliage Color Cardstock. 

We like to use a foam mat when stamping so that you get a nice even impression. So pretty when you stamp tone on tone.

After you have stamped your image, choose the coordinating die and cut out your cross. Run it through your diecutting machine to create a beautiful embellishment ready for your card.

Create the background of your card using frames from your craft room. We used the Album Dies and Folder along with the Card Layer Photo Mat Bundle and Pink Matte Foil Cardstock. What’s great is that layering frames adds instant elegance.

Add a layer from the Virginia Papers and Embellishments and then add the shadow layer from the Album Dies and Folder. It’s always fun to combine different textures and patterns.

Layer the two pink frame diecuts together to create a dimensional focal point for your card.

Add a rose sticker from the Garden Floral Stickers along with a gold foil flourish. Just a few embellishments make everything feel lush and decorative.

Place your stamped cross right in the middle of the layered frames so it becomes the center of the design.

Add another gold foil flourish, a rose sticker and a sentiment from the Beautiful Blessings Sentiment Stickers at the bottom of the card.

Stamp endless embellishments in all of your favorite inks. What’s great is that you can stamp all twelve designs at once and keep them ready for future projects.

From Easter cards to faith-based occasions, you will find yourself reaching for this set again and again. The designs are timeless and elegant, and just the thing to send comfort, encouragement and blessings through your handmade cards.
