Each Sunday, I create a card using one of my card sketches. This week's sketch is number SS036. Sketches can help to get your creativity fired up. They are open to interpretation, no real right or wrong way.
You can create a card exactly using the sketch layout or change it up a bit. You can also turn the sketch so if it is a vertical sketch you might want to turn it to be horizontal. Let your imagination run wild!
Today's card features the Abstract Impressions stamp set. This set reminds me of a stamp set long ago that I loved but parted with on a retired sale to get "new" stuff. Sometimes I have sellers remorse and this classic style of stamp makes creating beautiful cards so simple. No coloring let the ink pads do all the work to make a real "impression"!
Simple Stamping Steps & Measurements
- Fold a piece of Soft Seafoam Cardstock (top fold 4 1/4" x 11” – side-fold 5 ½” x 8 ½”) in half to create the card base.
- Glue the designer paper (3 x 4 1/4") to the left-hand side about 1/2" from the edge.
- Stamp "you" in Mossy Meadow Ink on the right-hand side of a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock (3/4" x 3 7/8") and adhere to the center of the cardfront.
- Cut out a Whisper White cardstock oval using the Stitched Shapes Die (2 3/8"x 3 1/4").
- Stamp the leaves in Mint Macaron and Soft Seafoam Ink.
- Stamp the flowers in Blushing Bride and Calypso Coral Ink.
- Stamp Thanks in Mossy Meadow Ink above the flowers.
- Adhere the oval to the card front with dimensionals.
- Tie a bow with the Mint Macaron Nature's Twine and adhere to the leaves with a glue dot.
