The creative side of me… featuring all things crafty.
Border stamps are really fun and versatile. The newest set from Ink Blot Shop is perfect because there’s no edge lines and you can use it for repeat stamping to create a full background panel. I kept a monotone vibe to the card and it lets me not overthink it!

The new blue glossy cardstock from Trinity Stamps is so perfect for hot foiling. I also wanted to mix hot foiling with the old school stamping, which I did on cardstock. The glittery embellishments really finished off the card.

Because I like to color, I don’t love solid stamps much. However, for some images, they work so well since you can actually do some multi-color stamping. It works so well here and I love the effect paired with that black solid outline.

Sometimes a card can just be simple. Once I saw this row of jeans, it was perfect to stamped out to fill up an entire card panel. All I did to enhance it a bit, was add some ink blending around the edges and adding a few lines with a copic marker. But it does make a difference, doesn’t it?

Call me lazy but sometimes a large background takes so long to ink up because of the sheer space. I wanted a quick way to ink it up and I used a brayer with a pair of distress oxide inks. Adding a bit of that something extra, I spritzed it with water and then added my paper to it. With such a fun background, you need a bold image to stand out in front.

Doodles — they are always fun because it’s not about perfection, it’s just for fun. This stamp set is a great example of that and it also comes with the solids so you can easily color it up. Stamping doesn’t have to be perfect and honestly, it’s better that it’s not — it’s whimsical and fun! Don’t you think?
