Beginner, Casual, and avid
No matter what skill level you are at, we all start at the beginning. Simple stamping uses three things: stamps, ink, and paper (SIP). The other two start with this basic design, but then get “stepped up” with die cuts, Designer Series Paper, and embellishments.
This is all about taking a single stamp set or bundle and making beautiful cards, no matter how new or advanced you are in your card making!
Make the BEGINNER Crafter Card:
Cut your cardstock for the beginner, casual, or avid card
Basic White Card Base: 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored @ 4 1/4
Basic White Card Front: 3 3/4 x 5
Mossy Meadow Mat: 5 1/4 X 4
Stamp:
On the Basic White card front, stamp the Pumpkins on the lower left corner with Pumpkin Pie ink.
Stamp the pumpkin stems with Early Espresso ink. Stamp the Leaf in Mossy Meadow ink. Stamp the sentiment on the upper left corner with Early Espresso ink.
Adhere it together:
Using Stampin' Seal or liquid glue, adhere the stamped white layer to the Mossy Meadow Mat, leaving a even margin around all sides. Lastly, adhere this to the front of your card base.
• On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the small pumpkin, small stem, leaf, and sentiment.
• Die cut images and sentiment with Cut & Emboss Machine.
• Stamp large pumpkin, stem, leaf, & vine in the lower left corner of the card front.
• Adhere the small pumpkin, stem, & sentiment with dimensionals.
• Add embellishments.
Step it up to the AVID Crafter Card:
• Start by dry embossing the Basic White card front.
• Die cut Mossy Meadow cardstock and DSP with dies.
• Die cut leaves and vines with Mossy Meadow Cardstock
• On a scrap of Basic White cardstock stamp pumpkins, stems, & sentiment and die cut.
• Adhere embossed card front to Mossy Meadow Mat and adhere to cardbase.
• Adhere Mossy Meadow & DSP die cuts to card front.
• Adhere pumpkins, stems, leaf, ribbon, & sentiment with dimensionals.
• Adhere remaining vine with glue.
• Add embellishments.
I hope you enjoy making either the beginner, casual, avid or all three cards! Stamps, ink, and paper are the key base elements for beautiful cards.
