Wishing you had lots of cards on hand for every occasion, but not sure where to start? Designing clean, simple projects is the quickest way to reach your goal. Many of you told me you had trouble finding time for your stamping, then keep reading.

If you want an even faster method for getting the job done—one that doesn’t involve coming up with your own card design—simply use one of the samples you see here as a basic template, substituting stamps, ink, and paper to suit your taste. When you follow the overall layout of the card, including image and sentiment placement, half of the work is done for you.
At the end of your stamping session, you’ll have a stack of ready-to-send cards—finished in no time at all. |
Easy techniques you can duplicate from the samples include:
- filling in the stamped images with Wink of Stella (the best glitter pen ever!)
- creating fun backgrounds by stamping multiple images on a layer
- tone-on-tone stamping.
To illustrate this final technique, the car image is stamped in Pool Party ink on Pool Party Cardstock to create a subtle background.
Tip: On the top layer, stamp the center tree first for even spacing.

Whatever you do to create your simple cards, have a great time! Invite a friend over to stamp with you. And, if you can't get together in person, set up a Zoom call to stamp together. The more stampers, the more fun! |
