In this demonstration, I show you how to stamp a sheet of card stock in half in both directions, then cut it to make 4 cards. I really don’t have a good name for this technique, let me know if you have a suggestion. BUT, I can tell you it’s a great way to make a set of 4 quick & easy cards using the KISS & SIP Stamping Technique – Keep It Simple Stamping with Stamps, Ink, and Paper – and it’s lots of fun!
Stampin’ Up! products showcased in this card making demonstration include the Natural Botanicals and Layered Thoughts Stamp Sets. The color combination I use reflects the beautiful fall colors I’m enjoying in central Ohio right now – Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, and Old Olive. With so many Stampin’ Up! stamp sets and colors to choose from, the creative possibilities using this stamping technique are endless.
Dimensions for cards made in this demonstration:
- Early Espresso card base = 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ on long side, fold in half.
- Very Vanilla inside = 4″ x 5 1/4″
- Very Vanilla card stock for stamping and cutting = 8″ x 10 1/2″
Dimensions for KISS & SIP cards below:
- Very Vanilla card base = 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ on long side, fold in half.
- Cajun Craze layer = 4 1/8″x 5 3/8″
- Very Vanilla for stamping and cutting = 8″ x 10 1/2″
It is my hope that this stamping technique and card making demonstration have inspired you. Give this technique a try then share and send your wonderful handmade cards.
Wishing you peace, joy, and happy stamping.
