Let you imagination run wild with all the wonderful cards or layouts you could create with these two simple stamps.



















This card was created using different colored inks with the flower stamp, stamped repeatedly on ivory cardstock and then cut out once and popped up.


A piece of silk ribbon matching the blue cardstock was added along with a happy birthday sentiment and some flower gemstones.




This pretty pink card was made with the tree stamp. It was stamped in olive and brown inks onto white cardstock.. Some designer paper was added as a background and the blossoms on the tree were flocked with pink flock.

Strips of holographic line stickers were added in the corner.











Here is a closeup of the flocked blossoms.
You could use flock, small round stickers, or simple color them in with pencil crayons or markers.

Silouhette Stamps and Inks

This week we are featuring the "STAMP OF THE MONTH". This month it is a silouhette stamp from Magenta. The card done here has the stamp of the month stamped in black archival ink on white glossy paper. The inks used to do the background are Alcohol inks from Tim Holtz in Wild Plum and Stream. Remember to use black archival inks for your main image when using Alcohol inks!!!

A butterfly sticker added to a piece of clear acetate was added with the help of a glue dot.

What a simple yet effective way to use your silouhette stamps and alcohol inks. Just think of the color variations you can achieve!!


















The following cards use silouhette stamps as well with distress inks. The sample here uses Spiced Marmalade and Broken China applied with foam applicators.

Here is another sample with about 4 different distress inks used to achieve sky and ground colors ...

STICKERMANIA PENNY BLACK STYLE

We all lead busy lives and when it comes to making a card quickly but effectively, stickers are the way to go.

Penny Black has two new sticker lines. Pond-side Celebration and So Cute!

Pick your card stock, add some designer paper, maybe some texture with a Cuttle Bug embossing folder and a sentiment and you can have a card done in a matter of minutes.

This is a great way to make a number of cards for yourself to have on hand when you need one.

One sheet of stickers could potentially give you 10 cards. It's a great value..

Check out Stamp Art's supply of stickers. You won't be sorry.

Edited to add* The cards using Pond Life were made by Dawn Strang

Notecards and Just Rite

Stamp Art is featuring a wonderful monogram set from Just Rite.

This particular set does not require the Monogram stamper as it has a round wood block in the kit that you can attach the border and letters to.

The notecard here was made with some bits of designer paper and a scallop circle was added to the monogram circle.

You can whip up a bunch of notecards in no time and use the note card holders that Stamp Art also sells to hold them. What a great gift for someone that is thoughtful yet inexpensive.

Penny Black "Hugs"

Today Stamp Art is showcasing a great set from Penny Black called "Hugs".

This is a very versatile set. It can be used for birthdays, anniversaries or just as a note to a friend.

This set has it all. The images are great for coloring or paper piecing and has elements that can be stamped twice and popped up as well.

Penny Black "Hugs" cards

Here are three cards that Nancy created with the Penny Black "Hugs" set..

She has used a wonderful vellum paper in the first card as an accent called "Floral Background" from Paper Adventures. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

The red card has elements from the Penny Black set and the flower pot has been paper pieced.

The third card also uses elements from the Penny Black set as well as gorgeous paper from Basic Grey - the Bittersweet collection.

Paper Can be Beautiful

As I promised here are two more examples of super simple cards using designer paper as the focal point. The black and white card is simply the designer paper folded in half, a piece of black satin ribbon wound around the middle and a few scallop ovals to hold the sentiment. The inside is the opposite of the design on the outside. Literally this card took minutes..

The second card again showcases the designer paper layered onto accent cardstock. A band around the middle and circles in the same cardstocks makes this a card made in a hurry...

The flower is from the same designer paper.
