Hello, Gaylynn here. Monochromatic stamping makes for easy card making. Today, on the Unity blog, I am sharing four coordinating Mother’s Day cards using stamping, ink, vellum and cardstock. But, any stamp themes will work.
Making a set of simple cards is easy using monochromatic stamping and changing out the background colors for the same card layout.
Sentiment: Happy Mother’s Day
Helpful tips:
Here are helpful tips for making these coordinating cards using monochromatic stamping. To begin, pre-cut and stamp 4 sentiment panels onto vellum or cardstock. If preferred, add a white cardstock piece behind the vellum cuts. Next, using a stamp positioning tool, stamp the background onto 4 different color cardstock panels using the coordinating ink color for each. A similar look can be achieved by using watermark ink onto color cardstock. Then, trim or die-cut the background panels to fit over the card base. Finally, layer and assemble each card with the same lace trim and embellishments.
This is another look at the card set.
Here is my video tutorial for this project. It will detail the full process.
