Tiny But Mighty Stamp Set 3 Ways!
Hi friends! Heather Hoffman here today with a trio of cards using one tiny little stamp set that has so many possibilities! The Budding Blossoms set is newly released in the Rainbow Splash collection, which is perfect for simple cardmaking, and I thought it would be fun to show how just this one set and very simple supplies could create so many different cards!
The Budding Blossoms stamp and die were actually designed by my daughter, Katie who is now working as a graphic designer for Simon Says Stamp. She had come up with some ideas to use this set, so I asked her if I could use those as inspiration to create actual cards. I added some simple touches to make them my own, and I think they are absolutely ADORABLE!
To start with, I stamped lots of the images from the set in Nocturne ink, and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. This gave them lovely shine, and also made them work for some simple Copic coloring without the ink smudging. I used lots of Copic marker colors to get some simple dimension, but this could easily be done with watercolors, colored pencils, or simpler color combos. Once they were all colored, I die cut them all with the coordinating dies.
Instead of using a die to cut a decorative edge (which would be a lovely option!), I tore some white paper to add a bit of texture on the edges. Then, I blended some Butter ink on the cardbase behind where the torn edge would sit to help it pop a bit extra and add some more dimension. Before adhering those front panels, I stamped my sentiments, then popped those panels up with foam dimension. I stamped the water from the watering can on one card with Marine ink as well.
Final touch was a rounded corner on each card, and a sprinkle of Dazzling Gems in Clear for some sparkle! I just love the fresh spring vibe these cards give me!
Do you like to see how many ways you can use one simple stamp set? It’s always fun to challenge yourself to keep the supplies simple and let the designs shine!
