Here’s my third creation with this great “Inked & Tiled” Bundle. My recent creation focus is to embrace “SimpleStamping” for my cards. For this card, I was able to incorporate the “Inked & Tiled” DSP, which is currently on SALE at a 15% savings! This DSP is truly beautiful, has great colors and is super easy to work with!
I like that this card is striking but soft looking at the same time. This may be because of the somewhat “monochromatic” look. I chose Calypso Coral, Petal Pink and Basic White for my color combo. Honestly, the DSP usually dictates the colors!
I inked the “leaf” image with Calypso Coral and stamped off once, then stamped twice on Basic White without reinking. Then I die cut the image with the angled shaped die from “Nested Essentials”. This die also creates a “stitched” looked around the edges of the die cut. To create the Calypso Coral layer, I took the same die, turned it over on to the flat side and traced around the edges of the die shape. Cut out with scissors, erase any pencil marks and you have a slightly larger layer to add to the original die shape!
Next, I stamped the “Thank you” in Calypso Coral on white and punched out with the coordinating punch from the “Inked & Tiled Punch Pack”. A second shape was punched out in Calypso Coral, rotated and adhered to the first layer. The layered greeting was placed on “Dimensionals” and added to the card. To complete my card, I added a “White Baker’s Twine” Bow and one small “Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels”. Simple and easy card!
This is my second creation with the “Inked & Tiled” Bundle. The imagery in this stamp set has a very soft feel, so I was imaging a “light and airy” card. My previous card HERE, was more monochromatic. This card also uses the beautiful “Inked Botanicals” DSP which is currently on SALE at 15% off through the end of June.
I selected VeryVanilla, CalypsoCoral and PoolParty for my color combination. Basically, I let the DSP help me with choosing my color palette. The “direct to rubber” technique with markers was used to color on to the rubber image. After stamping, I chose one of the “Stitched Rectangles” Dies to cut out the shape. Afterwards, as I was assembling my card, I realized they were retired in May!
My approach with this card was to “keep it simple“, which I managed to do. I placed a panel of CalypsoCoral cardstock behind the “Stitched Rectangle” Die and then attached to the DSP layer. I stamped the “Just a NOTE” greeting from the “Inked & Tiled” Stamp set and then punched it out the the coordinating “Plus Sign” Punch. Then, I trimmed off two of the “legs” of the punched shape. A “Vanilla” Bow from the “Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack” was added behind the greeting and then attached to the card with “Mini Dimensionals”. To complete my card, I used three of the “Brushed Brass Butterflies” for a touch of “subtle” bling.
When I first glanced at the “Inked and Tiled” stamp set, I looked right past this set. Then I began to see samples from other demonstrators and stampers, definitely changed my mind about this terrific set! I love both the “soft” looking artwork and greetings this set offers. Also, I wasn’t 100% sold that I needed the two punches, but because of the “bundled” savings, I took the plunge!
I chose Lost Lagoon, Pool Party and Basic White for my color palette. Let me tell you, these colors are BEAUTIFUL together! My goal was for this card to have an “earthy” feel and less feminine than my MANY cards created with “flowers”!
For this card, I also used a piece of the “Inked Botanicals” DSP which is currently on SALE at a 15% savings! The leaf image was stamped twice, once full strength followed by a second lighter stamping. I mounted the white panel on a die cut from the “Radiating Stitches” Dies. These dies are featured in the “Online Exclusives” and are not found in the current Annual Catalog.
I used the “Deckled Rectangle” Dies to cut a strip of Lost Lagoon card stock along one side. It took me two passes through the “Die Cut & Emboss Machine” to cut the entire 5.5″ length. Afterwards, I distressed the deckled edge with my fingernail. To complete the card, I cut a length of the “Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon” apart. I used several thread strands from the ribbon and tied them with a knot in the center. The finishing touch was adding three of the “Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots”. A great “Simple Stamping” card! I promise to use the two coordinating punches in my next creation with this great “bundle”.
