True Beauty Stamped Card

This True Beauty Stamped Card is not at all what I had in mind when I started to make a card! So you never know what you will end up creating, no matter what idea you have in your mind! And it’s okay if you don’t even have an idea in your mind, you will still create something.

I already had this True Beauty Stamp Set out as I used it on another project and some of the ink colors as well. I had some diecut flowers as well on my table, but in the moment I decided to stamp the flowers directly on the Basic White Cardstock. These flowers are a little large for a card front so it was difficult not to overlap them. But I decided that was okay! I still liked the way it looked and continued on with more flowers and leaves stamped in the spaces without getting too overdone!

The card base is Pool Party Cardstock with the Basic White stamped layer. I thought about putting an extra layer, either Basic White or Daffodil Delight under the stamped layer, but I liked it as it was. The stamped layer is a little smaller so the margins of the Pool Party show better. The Basic White layer is 5″ x 3 3/4″. The flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, and Pool Party inks with the leaves done in Granny Apple Green ink.

I chose a greeting from the same True Beauty Stamp Set, stamped it in Pool Party ink, and die cut it with one of the Tailor Made Tag Dies. I thought a Daffodil Delight ribbon would be good, but I changed my mind to Pool Party and colored the White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon with a Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blend Marker. I popped up the tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals®. Since I saw some ink smudges on the tag (oops!) and added some Champagne Rhinestones Basic Jewels on the tag and around the card. It’s hard to stop!! There are a lot of other “bling” choices I could have used so use what you have.

Here is another card using the True Beauty Stamp Set with the flowers diecut and then adhered to the card front.

That’s all there is to this easy card. It’s fun to do some real stamping all over the page instead of doing a lot of diecuts and designer paper. In fact, if you wanted to make several cards at once, you could stamp randomly all over a piece of 8 1/2″ x 11″ cardstock and then cut it down for individual cards. Then you have made your own background and designer paper for your card! It feels good to stamp and stamp and stamp! Try it! I hope this True Beauty Stamped Card gives you an idea for a simple card using basic stamping!
