Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today using Ann Butler Designs Background stamps and Crafter’s Inks . I’ve used two different triangular shaped stamps for My Friend Quilted Cards.
I chose to create this card with the Basket 2 Background Basics Stamp and Canyon Crafter’s Ink. It’s hard to see, but in the white sections between the stamped images, I scored diagonal lines. It’s easy to line up the stamps so they fit within a square and just score between them. Once stamped, I inked the edges with Canyon Crafter’s Ink, matted it with red cardstock and then tied a ribbon around the panel before adhering it to the card.
For my next card, I stamped the Picnic 2 Background Basics Stamp with Berry Crafter’s Ink. Then I cut apart the stamped panels and inked them before arranging them on a panel of pink and then sewing them in place. I wrapped ribbon around the panel before adhering it to the card. (The ribbon is pink, NOT purple as it appears in this photo! No matter how many times I photograph it, it still appears purple!)
Both cards have the same stamped flower image which was colored with Sunshine and Limelight Crafter’s Inks using a paint brush and a little water. The images were fussy cut and then inked with Desert Sand Crafter’s Ink before adding them to die cut circles. A simple sentiment was attached to the ribbons with a paper tagger.
These background stamps are lovely and since they come in 3″ squares as well as triangles, the possibilities are endless.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Very pretty cards Steph.
