Hello, everyone! And welcome to STAMPtember(R)! Are you excited? I know I am! All the new dies, new stamps, new card blanks! Woot-woot! STAMPtember(R) is the most awesome time of the year. 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.

  1. I love bright colors mixed together, so I surely do love your work! Thanks for the inspiration. Can’t go wrong with any of the new goodies in this release!

  2. Really like the way you used the striped stamp set. Who says it needs to be straight? Not me! Very nice!

  3. Well, now that I’ve seen your video, I think I might really need the stripe stamps. Love the look of the irregular shapes, and my brain is now exploding with color combinations to try! This would call for a background-making-fun-day. Does anyone else do that? Just make a bunch of papers with different colors and patterns without a plan? Some of my prettiest cards started with experimenting that way! Thanks for more great ideas!

  4. Such a cool look with those wavy stripes, Yana … love the sense of movement … what a brilliant idea! Fave product from the release is Best Hugs … fabulous sentiments! Anita 🙂

  5. My favourite stamp set is the Santa one. Super cute with great sentiments. I love the new ink colours as well.

  6. There are so many choices and so much to like. But I love the Jumbo Stripes. And the Maple Leaf Corner die. And, and, and….

    1. Oh and as for fave set v difficult to choose but I think the leaf background, stitched ovals and the big stripes 🙂

  7. LOVE the STRIPES set you did a GREAT job on the card. First time to your blog but not my last!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

  8. What a great idea to put the stripes on crooked. And look how great your card turned out. I love the results.
