Looking to make a colourful and original card? In this DIY project, you’ll create a cheerful greeting card with postage stamp-inspired motifs as the creative highlight.
1
Cut a piece of white cardstock to make a folded card measuring 3.9 x 5.8 inches (10 x 14.8 cm) (open: 7.9 x 5.8 inches (20 x 14.8 cm)). Cut a separate piece of white cardstock measuring 3.7 x 5.6 inches (9.5 x 14.3 cm).
2
Place the postage stamp stencil on the loose piece of cardstock. Using a dauber, apply ink to the top row of stamp motifs. Use the colour Saltwater Taffy.
3
Colour the second row of motifs with Spiced Marmalade ink and blend gently.
4
Colour the bottom row with Fossilized Amber ink, blending in the same way.
5
Let the ink dry completely. Then place a die on each stamp motif and run the sheet through a die-cutting and embossing machine.
6
Attach the decorated sheet to the folded card using foam tape.
