Sunshine in my pocket

Combining Stamps to Create a Geometric Background

January 17, 2020 Paper Crafting

Hello, friends! I am excited to bring you this card today, using a few stamps from the Hedgehog Hollow January Kit. This kit is full of stars, moons, and sunbursts and I was so inspired by it!

So today, I am taking 3 of the stamps from the “Given Direction” set (the one with all the stars) and stamping them inside of each other to get this fabulous geometric look! (you can see a bit of the stamp set I chose in the photo below)

I had a lot of fun stamping this background, and I began using my MISTI for the largest stamp. Then when I went to stamp the smaller stamp, I quickly changed to an acrylic block to get it done faster! I used the acrylic block to stamp the smallest stamp in the middle as well.

I have a video to show you how this card came together, watch it below or on YouTube:

After I finished all the stamping, I let this panel dry for quite a while because I used black pigment ink and I didn’t want it to smear when I inked on the color.

I chose the beautiful Catherine Pooler inks for the colors, and I used a makeup brush to blend. Well, I also used one stencil brush (LOL)…and you will see why if you watch the video!

These inks blended so well! I loved the sentiment from the kit that says “Next time you think of beautiful things, don’t forget to count yourself in”…so I stamped that on a sentiment strip as wide as the card panel itself. Then I added the die cut “beautiful YOU” (from my stash). I cut it out from white cardstock, added a black shadow, and then mounted it all onto fun foam before adhering it to the card.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards, so I’ve made a list here using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

I hope you enjoyed this colorful project today! I know I loved creating it. If you haven’t picked up a January 2020 Kit, what are you waiting for? It might be my favorite of all!

I’ll see you soon with more card inspiration!

May your days be filled with sunshine,
