Simple Stamping Tips |
|
One of the things people love about stamping is the simplicity
of the experience. If you have stamps, ink, and cardstock, then with just a
few minutes, you can make something satisfyingly beautiful with your own
hands. And if you use our samples for inspiration, both you and your
customers can save even more time! |

For two of today’s samples (the My Heart Is Wherever You Are
card and the Happy Birthday card), you’ll notice that we’ve used a simple
technique called stamping off. It’s a fun, easy way to get good looks and
visual depth in seconds. |

This technique helps you get several shades of color from a
single ink pad. (Quick tip: Use lighter ink for the base image and darker ink
for the overlying image.) |

For the Oh Baby card, we used another basic trick to create an
easy-to-make project. First, we stamped the image of the lacy heart to create
a simple frame, then adhered the stamped, punched out heart piece. Done! You
could make tons of cards like this by the time you finish your morning
coffee. It’s that easy. |

Have fun simple stamping! And remember to share your work on
social media. You never know who might be inspired! |
