Want to make a simple yet impactful card? Or maybe you’re looking to create a charming card set to gift a friend? In today’s post, I’ll show you how to do both—with just one stamp set! Follow along and let’s get crafting.
- Choose your color palette. I selected Crimson, Apricot, Custard, Serra, and Lilac, but feel free to use any colors that inspire you.
- Prepare your paper and stamp.
- Place a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 in sheet of paper into your stamp repositioner.
- Position the 37012 Floral Background 5×8 stamp onto your panel.
- Use a stamp conditioning eraser to prep your stamp—this helps avoid blotchy ink coverage.
- Add your ink. Stamp your chosen colors from lightest to darkest across your stamp until it’s fully inked.
- Repeat for multiples. If you’re making several cards, clean your stamp and repeat the inking and stamping process.
- Die cut your panel.
- Place the largest die from the 5003D Classic Nested Rectangle Dies set over the stamped area.
- Adjust to your desired cutting area and secure it with low-tack tape.
- Run it through your die-cut machine.
- Add your sentiment.
- Position your stamped panel in the stamp repositioner (either landscape or portrait orientation).
- Choose a sentiment from the same 37012 Floral Background set and stamp it in black ink.
- Repeat this step with different sentiments for additional cards.
- Assemble your card. Mount your panel onto a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 in card base—I used black for contrast and a modern touch.
