Your Next Stamp: Pigs Can Fly in Layers of Clouds

/

At the moment Your Next Stamp has Pigs Can Fly Stamp and Die set are on sale. Basically you can get them both for less than if you’d just bought the dies alone. So I decided to play with the theme of flying high, by layering up clouds so piggy can fly high above in the clouds.

Get the Look:

  • PREP: Die cut stitched clouds, 2 large clouds (I don’t have a large cloud die so I cut one on my Silhouette machine), banner and 3 3/4” x 5” blue stitched card stock panel.

  • Take stitched blue card stock and run through die machine with a cloud embossing folder. Take white pigment ink and lightly run over embossed clouds so they stand out more. Embossing folder I used is quite old by Darice, so not sure it exists anymore, but I’ve recently seen quite a few new ones come out.

  • Take some blue ink and lightly ink blend over the cloud dies from the bottom up.

  • Stamp and colour your flying pig on separate card stock. Die cut out pig. I also die cut and layered several pieces of card stock behind piggy for depth. Stamp a second image of the pig on the second large cloud.

  • Stamp and emboss the sentiment on die cut banner. Also stamp sentiment on the second cloud with stamped pig (see image 2 below)

  • Now all that is left is to layer all the components on an A2 size card base (see image 1 below). Once pig and banner are positioned and just before you glue piggy and banner down draw in the string attaching banner to plane.

  • Adhere second cloud to the inside of the card.
