As I mentioned the first of January, I have joined the Texana Designs Design Team. Our first assignment was to complete a project using the Jam'n Barbed Wire Stamp and the Happy Heart Day sentiment. First I created a masculine valentine. It seemed appropriate that I follow through and make a feminine card also. Here you will find Step by Step instruction as to how I completed the cards. Also at the bottom of the page is a link to download the Silhouette Studio cutting file that I created to cut the mats for this stamp on both cards.

- Cut cardstock base for card 6” by 12”
- Cut 4.5” x 4.5” mat of same color as base and distress the edges using Tim Holtz Distress Ink * If desired, all elements of card can be distressed using ink.
- Cut Piece of Patterned Paper 4” x 4”

- Stamp Sentiment on 3” x .75” piece of cardstock to match Mat in step 2 and double mat with patterned paper.
- Machine Zig Zag stitch around sentiment to secure and decorate.
- Use the Cutting File** you downloaded from this blog. Cut inner mat (PURPLE lines) from cardstock ***
- Stamp image of Barbed Wire heart ****
- Cut additional mats for Heart image out of the remaining patterned papers (AQUA Line and GREEN Line)
- Layer Mats and stamped image. I used pop dots between to bottom mats to add dimension
- Adhere All elements to card, positioning them in a fashion that is pleasing to your eye.
* You can use a contrasting cardstock mat instead of same as base.
** If you don’t want the cut out in the center of mat you are stamping on for show through of patterned paper, use the RED cutting line
*** You can use black ink or you can use versa mark and embossing powder for stamping
**** Remember to move all files off cutting area of your software and position only the line you want to cut for each segment of design!!!
