Spotty Dotty Birthday Card

on November 5, 2013

Hello everyone, Another little birthday card to share today. A cute little stamp that Piper pulled off the shelf during a whirlwind visit to the craft room, whilst picking it up off the floor i thought i would put it to use.

Not much to say about this card really – I coloured using some zig marker pens, and stamped with a Hero Arts greeting set. I decided to have the spotty paper overhang the card because it is actually more like patterned cardstock so took advantage of this fact to add some whimsy.

Have a fun day you guys!

Colourful Repeat Stamping On Cards

on October 19, 2013

Todays project takes two stamps, a few ink pads, a baby wipe and not much more.

There is something about 1 layer cards that make them s beautiful to me. Perhaps its the gentle reminder that a pretty card does not have to be a complicated card. One of the easiest and most effective ways to use a stamp on a card is by repetition. You can repeat a stamp to create a background- these often end up looking like a piece of pattern paper, but you can also make a stamp really pop with multiple colours. On this card i have used three key colours to stamp the ‘smile’ speech bubble vertically on the card, but interrupted the flow of this design with a greeting in black. Simple yet effective!
