January 28, 2022 by Jackie

Let me show you how the card making color choice you make reflects the emotion and how a simple change of color can change the entire vibe of a handmade card. The project I have for you today shows you how you can take one simple card layout, and just change the colors.

I use the same stamps and measurements for each of these cards and just change the ink and cardstock color. It can make a big difference as to the emotion one gets when looking at the card.

You can make boxed thank you cards (or cards for any occasion) easily with this method; it only takes a few supplies and about 30 minutes. Whether you make thank you cards, or cards for all occasions, they are perfect to package up to give as a gift.

This would be the perfect “friend” gift, or as a thank-you gift for a teacher. Even though my sample shows “happy birthday” on the box, you could easily change this to anything. It’s all about packaging up notecards in a cute box to give as a gift.

Card Making Challenge: Get Inspired & Make Some Cards

My Klompen Stampers Demonstrator Teams loves to learn new stamping ideas, layouts, techniques…..and participate in fun card making challenges. Challenges force us out of our “stamping box” and get us thinking in different ways as we create.

Each month I try to have different types of challenges for my team to participate in. This time I thought I would share some of the great cards that they created when I gave them this card making challenge.

Everyone was given EXACT sizes of cardstock and Designer Series Paper to cut. They could use any colors/paper, but they had to cut exactly per the diagram for this card making challenge. Here is the diagram that I gave them.
