Here are just a few of many stamping techniques you can use with one stamp set – one of my favorites – Rooted in Nature!!!  All of the techniques are demonstrated in the video at the end of this post. (I share the time stamps if you want to speed ahead to see a particular technique.)

1. Depth of Field – repeat stamping without re-inking creates several trees with a depth of field look. Time stamp on video – 13:30
   

 

2. Inking with a solid color – green, brown or black. If desired, color in with markers – in this case, Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive. Time stamp 18:20

 

3. Stamp the tree in green. Using an Early Espresso or Basic Black marker, remove the green from the tree trunk, leaving the dark color instead.

4. To curve the tree so that it pop out more, rub the Bone Folder several times from the center of the tree to the outside edges. Add dimensional in the middle before attaching it to the card. Time stamp 15:25

 

5. Create an autumn look with the Thumping technique. Stamp in the lightest color (Crushed Curry), then “thump” with a variety of Stampin’ Write markers. Time stamp – 19:39

 

6. Another way to make an autumn card look is to use sponge daubers directly on the stamp. See this technique at. Time stamp – 27:15

 

7. The Rock & Roll Technique gives these leaves a multi-colored look. Time stamp – 30:42

 

8. Use the new Embossing Mat to turn any Thinlit into an embossing folder.

Watercolor just the inside of that new folder. Time stamp – 35:35

First – just one of the templates we will be using for Crazy Quick Cards! (Read to the end to find out more about the class.) You can easily make four quick & easy cards with one sheet of Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper.

Wouldn’t these make lovely wedding cards – or wedding thank you cards? 

Any two-sided paper with one side being light enough to write on will work for this. (If neither side is light, you can add a layer of whisper white on the inside … but today we are going for speed!

The inside looks like this.

Ready? Just remember 4″ and it will be easy to remember this template forever! Just cut your paper like this.

Next, fold each piece in half.

Cut one sheet of Thick Whisper White (or coordinating color to your designer series paper) into quarters. Cut in half one way, then cut each of those in half so that each piece measures 5 1/2″ x 4″.

Attach one of the folded pieces of designer series paper to each card and decorate as you please! Finished!!!
