Hello. That’s the word for the day here at Stamp With Nel. We’re making an any occasion card using Hello as the only sentiment.
This is a #simplestamping card – paper, stamps, ink and a few embellishments are all you need to make this card for most any occasion. Vary your sentiment to make it fit the card type you need.
To start, I cut the Basic White – Thick card base at 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″. I cut the Basic White card front panel at 3-1/2 x 5-1/4 and three Basic White sentiment pieces of 1″ x 2″ each (if your sentiment is longer, adjust these pieces).
I stamped the front card panel three times with three different inks using the same Of Art & Texture stamp. For this card I used Berry Burst, Crushed Curry and Tahitian Tide ink. I stamped the top image in Tahitian Tide and stamped the bottom image in Berry Burst. For the middle stamped image, I turned the stamp so the hill was going the opposite way of the top and bottom stamps. I stamped between the two stamped images. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the stamped front panel to the card base.
Using one of my favorite sentiments, the Lovely Layers Hello, I stamped the sentiment three times – once in each color – on the three sentiment pieces. I used liquid glue on the left side of the sentiment and a dimensional on the right side, I adhered the sentiments to the front of the card. I placed them with the same colored textured stamp. It’s best to place the center sentiment, then add the top and bottom one about 3/8″ from the middle.
I added three Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in gold to the front of the card and it’s done – easy, right?? Well ok, we’re not totally done, but we’re so close.
In Berry Burst, stamped off twice, I stamped the Of Art & Texture stamp I used on the front diagonally on the inside of the card in the bottom right corner. Since the card base is white I did not add an inside layer. Feels weird to me, but no point in adding a white layer on white inside, in my opinion.
On to the envelope. I stamped the Of Art & Texture stamp on the envelope flap in stamped off Berry Burst, Crushed Curry and Tahitian Tide. And then, for the final Ta-Da, I stamped the Layering Leaves Hello sentiment on the envelope front. Woo hoo – easy peasy card you can make in just a few minutes. So quick to make a bunch of these to have on hand for any occasion. Use your favorite colors and your favorite sentiment to recreate this card.
I feel like textures stamps are a staple in my craft room, so it’s nice to have a full set of them to play with. But they can also be stand alone stamps to make their own card like I did today. I’d love to see what you make – tag me on Facebook and Instagram with #stampwithnel.
