I guess I should have remembered to check the 12 Days of Christmas song and coordinated my card to include three French hens but I didn't think of it until just now, so you'll have to settle with one sheep, LOL! But a he's such a darling sheep, drawn by Kim Hughes and included in a very nice, new large stamp set (26 images) called Sweet Spring.
Now I DID use three Scrapblocks on this project -- can you spot them all? I gave the sheep a curly coat by stamping the Scroll Scrapblock onto Neenah Natural White cardstock. Then I inked up the sheep with Memento Rich Cocoa and stamped him twice -- once on the Scroll pattern and once on the plain Natural White cardstock. I cut out just the sheep's fluffy coat and popped it up over the plain sheep image. The sheep's head was colored with Copic R00 Pinkish White and then he was die cut with Spellbinders Labels One Nestabilities die. (I'm sorry, I see the store is currently sold out of the Labels One die set, but the Labels Two Nestabilities set would also work very well for this project & layout).
TIP: Before die cutting, I inked the die with brown chalk ink. The cutting and embossing process transfers the ink onto the cardstock, creating a colored embossed edge to the die cut. This technique is known as Reverse Stenciling. Just remember to clean your die well afterwards.
Using Ranger's Adirondack Shell Pink dye ink, I inked Fine Houndstooth Scrapblock and stamped it onto more Neenah Natural White cardstock and die cut it using the same Reverse Stenciling technique, just a larger die in the set (second largest).
The card base is a Memory Box Begonia notecard. I stamped Perfect Plaid Scrapblock onto another piece of Begonia cardstock, die cut the lower edge using Spellbinders Long Scalloped Rectangle MegaNestabilities and then adhered it to my card base. Alternately, you could just stamp the bottom portion of your card base with the Scrapblock, but I salvaged this scalloped piece from another failed project!
The nice thing about the large 6" x 6" size of the Scrapblocks is that they will fit all the way across a standard A2 (5.25" wide or tall) sized card. This can be helpful in cardmaking because you can turn the Scrapblock in either direction (if it has a specific pattern), to fit your card width or height. And, of course, the larger 6-inch size is great for your scrapbooking, too.
The button was customized by stamping the Perfect Plaid Scrapblock with a darker brown ink onto Begonia cardstock, punching it out, and then adhering it to the bottom of a Clear Card Button using Ranger's Glossy Accents. It's tied with cream embroidery thread.
The "hello" sentiment is also from the Sweet Spring stamp set; lace is yardage from Hobby Lobby. I hope this project gives you a few different ideas on how to use these versatile Scrapblocks!
