    August 7, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share a couple of simple and pretty cards made with the Beautiful Backgrounds Collection from Stampendous. There are so many fun techniques you can do with background stamps and I used three of my favorites to create these colorful cards for a variety of occasions. Rainbow Confetti Congrats Card The Stampendous Streamers Stamp was just begging to inked up in rainbow colors, so I created a colorful background with just three ink pads for this simple and bright congrats card. Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4” x 5.25”.  Using a stamp…

    Beautiful Backgrounds Cards with Joy

    August 5, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello crafty friends, I love a good background stamp! I’m going to show you three cards using three different background stamps from the Stampendous Beautiful Backgrounds. I used three different techniques with these awesome stamps. For my first card, I used the Leafy Lines background stamp, it has a pull-away piece that I used for this card design. On a piece of watercolor paper I hot-foiled the background with the Diagonal Glimmer Stripes (discontinued) and Aura foil. I stamped the corners with the Leafy Lines pull-away stamp piece. I colored the leaves with multiple colors using Karin Watercolor Markers. I added a few splatters with the Karin Markers and added…

    Hello crafty friends! This is Jennifer Rustioni from @armieritagli! Today I share with you three Christmas cards I created featuring the new super cute and fun Stampendous Cool Fransformers Stamps Collection! These critters are the cutest, aren’t they??   CHRISTMAS MAGIC The first card I realized is featuring the Stampendous Fransformers Snowy Friends Stamp Set. I stamped the snowman on a watercolor paper, using the Distress Oxide Pumice Stone, to have a delicate effect. I realized the background using the Sakura Koi Watercolors in the shades of blue with the wet-on-dry technique, to have a more intense effect. After that, I continued to watercolor the snowman and then I used…

    Hello! I’m Jen Kotas from Who Stole My Glitter and I’m happy to be back today to share three cards featuring the Stampendous Holiday Hugs Collection. There are three adorable character die sets in the collection that I’ve turned into shaped cards. There are also coordinating stamp sets to add cute details or sentiments. You could turn these shaped cards into tags by punching a hole in the card base and then adding twine or ribbon. To avoid seeing the back of the cardstock colors when the card is open, die-cut pieces out of white to back things like the hat and beard. Die cut the Santa body from Santa…
