Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

September 25, 2024

Using old stamps

Hi Everybody,

Both of these cards have been created using the same stamps and dies but with different colour schemes to ring the changes.

For the back ground I have used a really old Spellbinders stamp that adds distressed stripes. Each is a separate panel that is added to the card base with the inked stripes on the front.

I have chosen colours that will blend well together and not make a muddy brown, and at the bottom of the pink one there is a wax seal in the shape of a flower.

Both backgrounds have been splattered with inks and some of the colours used in the stripes.


The leaves have been cut from my favourite Rose Flourish die set but I don't think this will be available any more at Craft Stash.

I have used silver card for the leaves and added them with small foam pads underneath to give a little height.

The sentiment is different on both but you could add any that you preferred 

Two pretty cards made very quickly and easily using old products that I already have.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
