If this is your first time hearing about STAMPtember(R) here’s a little explanation from Simon: an event intended to inspire, educate, and celebrate the greatness of rubber stamping. Doesn’t this sound fun? Lets get inky!
I am so excited to join the celebration! I have been busy stamping and die cutting for the past couple of days and I have lots of cards to share with you over the next few weeks. Today I’d like to share a video using one of my favorite stamps from the STAMPtember(R) release – Basic Stripes.

CARD DETAILS
I didn’t want to mount the stripe stamp straight onto my clear block and ended up giving it a bit of a curve for a fun and unexpected look. Love the way it turned out. I used 3 colors of ink to do my stamping – Twirling Tutu (lightest color), Teeny Bikini (medium color) and Hollyhock (darkest color). I stamped each stripe twice for a more vibrant look and also to give it a bit of an imperfection, I didn’t use misti stamping tool, but eyeballed my stamping and therefore was able to have that a bit of an imperfect stamping. My stamped stripes look like they’ve actually been painted onto the front of my card.
I also used feather stamps and dies as well as the Smile sentiment from the My Friend stamp set to stamp a few additional elements for this card. I used Duckling, Catkin and Scuba colors as well as a very pretty Stone ink.
I also used a few self-adhesive sequins from the Crate Paper’s Wonder Collection and added those onto my card for a pop of gold. The sentiment and some of the feathers were foam mounted for a bit of dimension. I also rounded the two bottom corners of this card using my We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper.

Great Card such a great hop
My favorite stamp set is the stripe background. Thanks for sharing your creation.
My stripe stamps come out crooked anyway so I like the idea of doing it on purpose.
What bright fun, color. Bending the stripes is a very unique idea. I like it.
What a unique and interesting way to use that stamp set! TFS!
Super-cute card! I always forget a little curve can be added to clear stamps!! Thanks for the great reminder!!
Love, love, love the curvy stripes! Great design!
Your colors are always so beautiful.
Love your cards! I would never have thought to curve the stamps. Genious!
Oooh, I love how you made the stripes wavy!!!
I love your creativity! What a great idea to curve the stripe stamp. I think the curved stripe on the MISTI would work great for me because I am not very good at double stamping without the MISTI and I love the vibrant colors from the second stamping. Love, love, love the background and a multi-purpose for the stripe stamps.
So pretty, love the pink. Really like the feathers too.
Loved the pinks you used on your card and creative use of the stamp and the card all together!
