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.

Great card. Love how you used the stamp and the colours are gorgeous.
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!
The colors that you chose are so pretty together! I really like those feather dies.
Really like the way you used the striped stamp set. Who says it needs to be straight? Not me! Very nice!
Wonderful card and gorgous colours xx
Your color combo is gorgeous! Lovely, lovely card!
Okay so now I have to get basic stripes! Lovely card!
Love your card.
Love the stripes!
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!
Your card is fabulous! Love the colors and what a fun background.
Great background idea – and your finished card is wonderful!
I’m so glad I decided to do the blog hop or I never would have seen your beautiful work! Just amazing!
Gorgeous
