My Friend Quilted Cards

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.
