Simple and easy
Posted on November 3, 2008 at 11:07 a.m.
I'm so excited to be the TI blogger this week! The hardest part was trying to decide what to post each day.
I decided that I will start with simple and easy card set. This is a perfect little gift for someone. I have made several of these lately and I found that mass production is the key.
I gather all my supplies first. I typically use blank greeting cards (white or ivory) that I get at a craft store when they are on sale. They come with envelopes. I cut the strips of paper, get my ink and stamps ready.
For this project I used Evelyn patterned paper from Retro Metro collection, and Spring Stamp Set.
I start by adhering the strips of patterned paper to all my cards (10 in this set). I use my first card as a guide where to adhere the strip on the next card so that they all look even. It doesn’t have to be perfect, they are one of a kind.
After that I start stamping my images. I stamp the flourish on all the cards, then the flowers and the bird last. This way you are dealing with one stamp and ink pad at a time and it goes really fast. I stamp my sentiment last.
After that all you have to do is package your gift. I used some fabric scraps to match and stamped another flourish from the Spring Stamp Set on the tag. I will be putting this in a little white gift bag with green, yellow and purple tissue paper.
What do you think? I hope you enjoyed this little “tutorial”. I will be back tomorrow with snowflakes!
