Easy stamped card

You can make a card with just a stamp.

I used the tree and sentiment from Rooted in Nature, Mossy Meadow ink and Very Vanilla cardstock. I made my card base using the 81/2 X11 Very Vanilla cardstock cut @ 51/2 . Fold and score. You will get 2 card bases. I stamped the sentiment in the corner with the mossy meadow ink. I then stamped 3 trees using the same ink color. I only inked the stamp once then stamped 3 times to get the images on the card. I like how it came out and will try with other stamps. Challenge for you ,give it try! Thank you Karen Titus for the idea.

Flash card 1

When I think of flash card I think of my days when I taught. Kids used them as learning tool to learn things quickly.  These flash cards are for making cards quickly by prepping your card stock ahead of time. It is a technique introduced by Connie Stewart . The card stock layers are prepared in advance so that you just need to pull the colors you want to use. These are the cutting directions:

You then will have layering pairs

Here is a card I made using this technique. I used the returning stamp set Hanging Garden, Berry Burst ink, very vanilla card stock and lemon lime twist cardstock. I also colored the foliage with stamping blends I have.You can order from my web site . Click link to the right.
