How are we approaching Father’s day already? The time I tell you is really flying by! Today I’m excited to share a card that features some new Close to My Heart stamps (find out more info at their website). Wait, not some. The ENTIRE STAMP SET! That’s right I went for it and used them all. This card didn’t need much embellishing either – but a few nautical accents from my embellishment line 28 Lilac Lane “At Sea” kit (available in stores now) and some twine were the perfect accents.
This card actually began as a watermark stamping idea… but I decided with the awesome urban papers (from CTMH) I could not just use up my stamps… but a good number of inks too! It’s easier to show – so here’s my YouTube video
I really love how this one turned out – now if I can only find a gift for the great dad that lives here in this house… hmmm.
I hope that I’ve inspired you today to use ALL THE STAMPS (yes, all caps) to create a card like mine. This one happens to be Father’s Day – but any theme would work! I love that instead of having to pick a favorite I was able to make this collage of fun. Until next time – I wish you very happy crafting!
Really cute! I do have a hard time with using an entire stamp set on one project. I’ve thought about it many times, for a background, but I can never do it. Thanks for the cool inspiration. Great card, super fun. Love the paper, too. Michelle t
Now that is getting good value for money from a stamp set!! Great card and very cute stamp set too!
I hope you can find a good present to go with the card!
Fab card, great use of the set & colour combo. Father’s Day in Australia is not till Sep so I am getting some great inspiration. TFS
Love this card. Very creative.
