MOTHER’S DAY CARDS – SIMPLE & STYLISH

I made three Mother’s Day cards yesterday using the TIMELESS TULIPS stamp set.

Each card features the same colours but very different levels of ‘complexity’.

The first card is quick and simple – one image stamped in three different colours and a sentiment, all stamped directly onto a piece of Whisper White card.

This card is perfect for those of you who are new to stamping and perhaps only have a few supplies. This card would be even easier if you use the Note cards and Envelopes pack – no coloured card stock to cut.

NEXT …

Card #2 steps things up a notch. Using dimensionals for depth and adding some dies, ribbon and sequins gives this card more visual diversity.

Moving on from being a beginner in card making, you may have added more stamp sets and inks and tools to your crafting collection. You are also crafting more often and developing your skills and techniques.

NEXT …

Finally, a card that shares the same ‘theme’ of the earlier card but includes even more elements. A variety of dies, more layers and flicking ink onto the background are easy ways to bring some extra wow.

As you continue to craft more often and develop your range of skills and techniques, you can easily ‘see’ what else you can add to project. It may take you a couple of attempts to master the ink flicking technique but you never know when you might want to use it.

And, now you are crafting regularly and building your craft supplies so that you continue to challenge your creativity. Welcome to the world of an avid stamper.

Which type of stamper are you?

Can you remember the first time you stamped an image onto a card or other project?

If you have ever thought of sharing that experience with other people, you should think about being a demonstrator and coaching others. If you live in Australia, contact me to find out how to join my team and the benefits of this decision.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products used for all three cards.

AMOUR

I have seen lots of wonderful cards made using the sepia colouring technique. I have not tried this before, so it was time to give it a go.

The PARISIAN BEAUTY stamps was my go to set for this project. Crumb Cake was my base colour for the technique, but because I made this card for the #76 Colour INKspiration Challenge, three other colours were used – Cherry Cobbler, Pear Pizzazz and Pumpkin Pie.

When I think of sepia, I always think of very old, vintage photographs. To give the card a vintage feel I distressed the edges of the Fluid 100 Water Colour Paper and the Cherry Cobbler mat.

Each of the fleur de lis were stamped, water coloured, die cut and popped up onto a Dimensional and then given some Clear Wink of Stella attention.

Stamping off allowed me to achieve two different tones of the Crumb Cake for the script stamp. It was also an effective way to soften the other three colours when I stamped the fleur de lis banner stamp.

The Eiffel Tower stamp was mounted onto my Stamparatus because I stamped this several times to build up colour as I stamped, water coloured, dried, restamped and used markers to directly add colour to the stamp. It took several trials to get to the final image.

I thought that I’d share some close up images – it is interesting to see the way the layers of water colouring create a sense of texture.

Thank you to all those lovely crafters who shared their video tutorials.

BIRD’S NEST

I kept thinking about using the STITCHED NESTED DIES in a rainbow based card.

This evolved today into a pinks through reds project. I used all eight nesting dies and eight different pieces of coloured cardstock to cut each layer.

Then I overlaid and adhered each of them at different angles, before cutting it back for the front of this card.

A birdcage, from a piece of Bird Ballad DSP, is the background filler.

I stamped a bird, from the FREE AS A BIRD stamp set, and water coloured it and added a touch of Wink of Stella.

A few FROM MY HEART FACETED GEMS gave that touch of bling.

This card is a very different style for me. I am enjoying pushing myself to try something new!

What do you think? I might try the blues next.

Happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.
