Three Variations on One Card (Timeless Tulips)
/Hello, stampers!
I hear my customers and non-stamping friends all the time saying something like “I am not skilled enough to make fancy and elaborate cards like you make, so I just won’t stamp at all.” I have other customers that say “I like to stamp, but I stick with simple cards because I don’t know to do anything more than that.” I am here to tell you, YOU CAN!
Today, I am showing you three variations of one card idea. We have a simple version, a stepped up version and another stepped up version that features different colors. Each of these cards utilizes Timeless Tulips stamp set to create the design. You will see how one stamp set can be used to create a beautiful and simple one-sheet card AND a stepped-up card with several layers that give it depth. You will see how you can go from the simple card to the stepped up card with just a few more minutes and a few extra materials and tools. You will also see how you can create a wonderful card to send to a friend if you only have a few minutes.
