One Big Meaning Notecard Set in Go Wild Paper

Today I have a set of Thank You cards to share with you. With so many beautiful patterns in the Go Wild DSP Stack and some very cool fonted 'Thank You's in One Big Meaning stamp set - it was super easy to create these fun and gorgeous cards.
I used the help of the inspirational picture featured in the Annual catalogue on pg 16 to set the design of my cards. A couple little embellishments later - pearls, candy dots and a pretty flower image and VIOLA - gorgeous cards, made easy! Be sure to read to the end for all the measurements.

An Open Heart - Single layer stamping

I usually enjoy adding lots of layers to my projects but today's cards are exactly what you need when you need some in a hurry or only have 5mins to create in!

I grabbed only a handful of items to make these cards. Using just one stamp set  - 'An Open Heart, x2 ink pads andlittle piece of seam binding ribbon and notecards!

 You can create a simple background with just one stamp! Here's how...
I inked up the 'stem' image and stamped it once onto my notecard, then without reinking the stamp, I stamped it again off to one side.

 Here are the colours I've used

Work of Art Thank You Notecards

Hi Everyone

These cool Thank You notecards recently went out to my August customers. I usually go for stamp sets with ready to go images, flowers and larger images are my favourites. After sifting through the catalogue for the first few times I had no intention of buying this set, shh don't tell SU - I know shock horror!  I honestly thought what am I going to make with these paint brush stroked images?? Thankfully I am addicted to Pinterest and found some really great tutorials. Special mentions to Deb Valder in the USA.

These notecards measure 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" so quick and easy and you can get 3 from 1 sheet of A4 cardstock!

Carolina's Tips & Techniques:

These flowers are easily made by...

1) ink up your stamp 

2) stamp down once, this makes petal number 1

3) without reinking, stamp the next petal and carry on all the way around
