Stamps, Ink, and Pretty Papers

We are so used to stamping on card stock that we forget that stamping on Designer Series Papers is a great technique to add a bit of interest to our cards. Stamping the BIG “thank you” from the Thanking You Stamp Set gives fabulous results when you pair it with a fancy paper like the Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper I used in the video demonstration below. How simple is that! Enjoy watching, then give it a try!

Cutting Dimensions:

• 1st card
  • Card base = 5 1/8″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ on long side, fold in half.
  • White inside = 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • DSP = 5 1/4″ x 4″

• 2nd & 3rd cards
  • Card base = 5 1/8″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ on long side, fold in half.
  • White inside = 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • Card stock layer = 5 1/2″ x 3 1/4″
  • DSP = 5 1/2″ x 3″

So what do you think? An EASY stamping technique with BIG results, right? I hope you feel inspired and confident to give this stamping technique a try. Remember, a paper with a small pattern and a dark bold color will work best for amazing results. Now go, give it a try, and be sure to share this easy and fun stamping technique with your stamping peeps!

Wishing you peace, joy, and happy stamping.
