Hey there PRS friends! I have a super simple card today that would be a great thank you for one of the guys in your life. So many say they sometimes struggle with masculine cards, myself included. But with a couple of stamps and a bit of patterned paper you can whip one up in no time!
This card begins with a white panel and the two borders from the Holiday Wishes Stamp Set. I randomly stamped one of the borders using a soft gray ink going in two directions and overlapping. Next came the other border using a golden yellow ink. Once again I went in both directions and overlapped. I began my stamping on the diagonal from one of the corners. But you can start anywhere on the paper. If you have stamp blocks with grid lines on them, this is super easy to do. The MISTI tool would work great too.
After trimming down the panel, I added my big thanks sentiment from the new School Days Stamp Set using Versa Mark ink. It’s embossed in Ranger Liquid Platinum. I popped this onto my card base covered with some masculine patterned paper. And that’s it…see I told you it was a simple card!
When I think of fall plaid comes to mind. Flannel shirts, the wool plaid blanket we used to cuddle up by the fireplace with growing up and walking into the Pendleton factory where my grandfather worked at for over thirty years. This is the time of year to start pulling out those things to keep us comforted and warm during the cool days. Today I wanted to take it to the paper and create my own version of plaid in colors I love. Here is the breakdown of my stamping steps.
Did you know that Precious Remembrance has such an amazing variety of border stamps that you can probably mix and match the stamps each and every day for something completely new? Now you can experiment with stamps and colors in a whole new way. Try fall or Halloween colors and just see how so many new color layers come out as you stamp your plaid!
Thank you for popping by…
