Flower Power Stamps
All of the samples shared below are constructed from 8.5x5.5" paper folded in half to create A2 single-fold cards.
Card 1
Stamp the bee image and sentiment in India ink onto a White 1-3/8x5.5" strip. Color the bees with yellow marker. Mat artwork onto a 1.5x5.5 black strip; adhere to the card base. Tie yellow ribbon into a bow and attach with Bookbinding Glue or a Glue Line.
Card 2
Stamp the collage image onto a White panel with Ocean Hybrid ink. For best results, use a stamping platform for a crisp image. Crop the image closely with a trimmer. Trim nesting panels from Black and White papers. Stamp sentiment onto a White scrap with India ink. Trim to size and mat with Black. Punch three tiny hearts from a Blue scrap and adhere to the sentiment with Bookbinding Glue.
Card 3
Stamp the peace sign image with Ocean ink onto a White panel; add the sentiment with Leaf. Cut the stamped panel (and coordinating mats) with stitch-edged nesting dies. Punch a hole with a Slot Punch. Thread ribbon through the slot, wrap around the back of the embossed panel, and secure with tape.
Card 4
Stamp the sentiments and artwork onto a white panel with India ink. Color select portions of the image with orange colored pencil. Create nesting mats for the stamped panel from Orange, White and Black papers.
Card 5
Stamp the sentiment (India ink) and the butterfly image (Ocean) onto Plain White. Die cut into a circle shape. Nest onto a Blue mat cut with a stitched circle die. Trim card panels from Green and White papers; add texture to the White panel with an embossing folder. Loop two lengths of green ribbon together, chain link-style, and wrap ends around the back of the green panel; secure with tape. Trim the edge of the nested circles and attach with foam adhesive.
Card 6
Stamp the bee image and sentiment onto a White panel with India ink. Adhere the stamped artwork onto Yellow and Black panels created with nested rectangle die cuts. Wrap a length of white ribbon around a 4x5.25" White panel; securing to the back side with tape. Add the sentiment to the card front with foam adhesive.
5x7 Card
Trim Green to 10x7"; fold in half for the card base. Create a background of floral images on a White Panel stamped with Ocean, Yellow and Leaf inks. Add the sentiment with India ink. Mat with Black. Wrap green ribbon around the stamped panel; secure to the back side with tape.
