INSTRUCTIONS:
Cut Your Papers:
~Whisper White card base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
~Very Vanilla Stamping Strip: 1-1/2″ x at least 7-1/4″. My strip was 8-1/2″ long.
~Magenta Madness Mat: 2″ x at least 7-1/4″.
Stamping 1: Hinge Stamping
Watch This Video for basic Hinge Stamping instructions.
NOTE 1: The stamp I chose is about 1-3/4″. So Hinge stamping left a bigger gap than I wanted. I moved my strip up 1/4″ (1 grid line) then moved my Stamparatus Panel down two Hinge Marks. For the fourth stamped image I rotated my Panel to the other set of Hinges and lined up my stamp over the strip.
NOTE 2: You could just use stamp blocks to stamp your image with 1/4″ between images.
Stamp four images in Magenta Madness ink on your Very Vanilla Stamping Strip.
When You are finished stamping, attach your strip to your Mat.
Finish Your Card:
~Get out your Grid Paper. Choose one of the darker lines to line up your card base corners with. Place the upper left corner and lower right corner on the line as shown in the picture.
~Center your Strip over the card using the grid marks to get it even on each side of the corners. Attach with Stampin’ Seal.
~Stamp your Words about 1/4″ from the top and bottom edges.
~Now stamp the Special Deliver stamp twice as shown.
Your Posted for You Diagonal Stripe Card is finished.
