Unleash Your Creativity: Card Making and Stamping Ideas, Especially for Beginners

 Sometimes it can be a challenge to come up with a card making idea.  It's especially difficult when you're just beginning.  It can also be overwhelming when there are so many choices in stamping supplies.

You know what?  It really comes down to Stamps, Ink, and Paper - something I like to call SIP!  Truly, all card making boils down to SIP.  With some some stamps, some ink, and some paper, you can get busy.

I made these three cards with only SIP.

And I did them three separate ways. 

The first card is the most basic

with only one layer of Early Espresso on the Crumb Cake card base.  The image was stamped three times.  Then the sentiment was stamped onto the base with an artistic stamp across the Early Espresso layer.

The second card steps things up a bit (still sticking to the SIP concept of Stamps, Ink, and Paper though) and has a fun addition of background element behind the large main stamped image.

Finally, the last card is stepped up further with the addition of more layers.  Layers are an easy way to make a card seem like it's fancier when you don't have much on hand.

Such fun cards and using only the Neutrals palette as well.
