Stamps, Ink, Paper – Merriest Moments
Simple stamping with Stamps, Ink and Paper. And the Merriest Moments stamp set.
It wouldn’t be stamping if you weren’t using the product trio of stamps, ink and paper and sometimes that is all you need. These simple cards were created in very little time as they all followed the same basic design. As much as I love to add embellishments and create with different products, sometimes a SIP (stamps, ink, paper) card is all you need. Simply stamping is great if you need a lot of cards in a hurry or are feeling overwhelmed by options.
I used just three colours of ink on Basic White card stock to make the background for these cards – Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Cherry Cobbler. I used the same three colours of card stock to complete the cards. One quick way to stamp some quick cards or to get your stamping mojo going it so limit the number of colours you have in front of you. Feeling stuck? Go monochrome by using just one colour of card stock and ink with white card stock. I love black and white cards.
To create the full backgrounds for these cards, I stamped the largest image first and worked down in size. Always stamp off the edge of the card stock and try to work in odd numbers. I started with five poinsettia on each piece and then did the same with the other images. To complete the cards quickly, I used only one colour per image so no cleaning was required until the end. After stamping the main images, I filled in some of the white space with the splatter stamp which is also in the set.
These cards were completed with just the stamp set although I did cheat a little and used the frame die from the Merriest Moments Bundle for two of the greetings. If your budget allows, I would recommend the bundle because with the stamp set, embossing folder and dies, there are so many stamping possibilities.
