How was your weekend? I hope you had a good one. My weekend didn’t go quite as planned. Yesterday we had to make a doctor visit (yes, we can see a doctor on Sunday), and I found out my daughter has Strep Throat 🙁 I’m wondering if I’m coming down with it too. Boo! Can I blame this on our crazy Ohio weather? Thirty degrees and snowing one day and 60 degrees the next seems to bring out the illnesses. Anyway, on to today’s project… I have a class for beginning stampers this week, and the card I’m sharing today is one that we are making. I used the super-easy block stamping technique to make it.
First, I’ll explain the block stamping technique. The rectangular Crumb Cake areas behind the flowers were stamped with a clear acrylic block. I inked the block directly on the ink pad, then placed the block on the white cardstock and ‘stamped.’ Is it called stamping when there’s not actually a stamp involved? I’ll let you ponder that one. Anyway, if you try this, you’ll want to make sure to use a Stampin’ Pierce mat underneath when you’re stamping. The block doesn’t have any ‘give,’ so placing the mat underneath will make sure you get an even stamp.
The pretty flowers are from the Fresh Fruit stamp set. I used a combination of Sweet Sugarplum and Rich Razzleberry inks.
