It’s a great way to use up scrap pieces of paper to create a fun and colorful background for your card. The second card idea features 6 pieces of designer paper, each measuring 3/4 x 4 inches, adhered across the card front. You can also add a small strip of torn red cardstock in between the first two pieces to dress it up a bit. Starting left to right, here are the measurements for each of the pieces: 3/4 x 5-1/4 inches, 2 x 5-1/4 inches and 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 inches. The first card features a variety of different patterned papers pieces layered together. Just a few more quick and simple layouts that you can use in your card making. The last two card ideas are not featured in this week’s video but I wanted to share them with you anyway. Be sure to watch this week’s video to see this technique in action. I simply used the paint brush side of my Stampin’ Write marker to outline these different sections, then I stamped it on a piece of white cardstock.

They are water based so they work great for “inking” up your stamp images. The best markers to use for this technique are Stampin’ Write markers. It’s one of the very first techniques I learned when I started stamping. Stamping With Markersīesides the adorable Snail Mail card ideas, this week’s video features a fun and simple stamping technique with markers. You can check out this and some other simple card making layouts HERE. The first card features a layout I used to make birthday cards. Yes, I have used some of these exact layouts before with other stamp sets and paper. So I decided to start by using some of my favorite card making layouts. Now as I have mentioned before, the designing process can be the most challenging part. There is a new die set called Stitched with Whimsy that works so well with the snail images on these cards. However, I have to admit that I was not 100% sold on this suite until I actually starting creating with it! And now, I absolutely love it! The other thing you will notice about these card ideas is the fun stitching on different parts of the card.
The bright colors and fun greetings are what caught my eye right away with this suite.
