Let’s take a look at the cards that I created today, using the Warmest Wishes Stamp Set.

Card #1

I wanted to create a card that was not only clean and simple, but would also be easy to mass produce. I started by stamping the leaves onto an A2 size panel using the SSS Pawistively Saturated Ink in the shade Field, which is one of my favorite shades of greens in the Pawistively Saturated Inks collection.

Next I stamped the little berries which was part of this layering leave and berry set using Paprika Ink Cube.

For the focal point image, I chose those little mittens. I wanted to have a 2 tone mitten, for which I chose a beautiful brown and dark blue-violet. I used the Nutmeg for the lower part of the mitten while Iris for the main part of the mitten.

Once I was done stamping the colorful focal points, I then stamped the “Sending Cozy Hugs” sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

I let all of those inks dry, before trimming the panel using one of the smaller A2 size nesting dies by Spellbinders.

Before adhering onto a notecard, I thought it would be perfect time to add some shine and sparkle to this panel, so I matted it onto some shiny gold cardstock. I absolutely love that gold border.

I added some Metallic Tones Pawsitivley Dazzling Gems around my focal point image and below the sentiment to cover up any of that empty space.

I mounted this main panel on to a side folding A2 size card base using some foam tape for dimension.

Card #2

Since I wanted to be able to mass produce this design, I decided to keep the color scheme and the basic design same, with just a few changes.

First i began with the leaves. For this card, I used Sage for a lighter tone of green along with the little berries that I stamped using Paprika Ink.

Next, for the main focal point I stamped the Folk Art Sweater using the same shades of blues and browns – Iris and Nutmeg.

I switched up the sentiment for this card. I stamped “Sending a warm hello” using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

I again mounted this panel onto a sheet of gold cardstock and adhered it onto a white A2 size cardbase using foam tape.

For some bling on my card, I used the Warm Tones Pawsitivley Dazzling Gems on the sweater.
