Gears & Textures – Masculine

Posted on by

Recently on my Facebook Live I created with the Gears & Textures Stamp Set. You can see other cards I created with this set here. I chose to create some simple stamping cards which can be easily duplicated. I had used the inspiration from Crafty Rootes in the UK to create my first card. That was enough of a spring board to get me doing the next card and then the next and so on. It was great to be able to just create and to continue to get the creatively flowing so easily just with copying one card but changing up the colours.

Changing up the colours from the original design that I saw, I created the first card with the long images stamped diagonally on the page alternating the colours. On the insert I stamped the long images again on an angle which helped me jump to the next card. Having the images diagonally from either end and then stamping in the centre changes the card. And on the insert I stamped the images up and down which led me to my third card in this set. I chose to stamp the images from top to bottom on one side with the sentiment stamped at he bottom right of the card. Then layer each card front onto coordinating card stock. Really #simplestamping cards for you to recreate.

Gears & Textures – Part 2

Posted on by

For my third & forth Stamp-a-Stack cards using the Gears & Textures Stamp Set, I kept with the same layout but changed up the embossing folders and switched the colours to keep things fairly clean and simple while still letting the textures and layers do the talking. I love cards that look detailed but are actually very achievable to recreate — perfect for a class setting. The embossing folders I used were Exposed Brick & the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing folders

One of my favourite things about this design is how easily it could be adapted. Change the sentiment, swap out the colours, or add a little embellishment, and you suddenly have a card suitable for lots of different occasions. This is exactly the kind of versatile design I love including in a Stamp-a-Stack — something you can confidently recreate again and again at home.

All the products I used for these cards are listed below, along with a photo so you can see the details up close.

Gears & Textures

Posted on by

I have finally sat down to do some fun creating with brand new products. Pulling out the Gears & Textures stamp set from the brand new January to April Mini Catalogue, I got to searching for inspiration. The place I normally go for inspiration is to Marelle Taylor, my lovely upline. She ran Stamp a stack classes for years and years till Covid hit. So I go and check out her projects to see how I can use the layout or colours or both to create new projects using current product.

I chose this post of Marelle’s from March 2018. I had to change up the colours to current ones as a couple had retired. So I used Summer Splash to replace Bermuda Bay & then chose Blueberry Bushel to replace Pacific Point.

I used the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder for the background layer – one on each card. And then used the Three Banner Punch and the Wishing You Joy stamp set for the sentiment. The Lemon Lime Twist sentiment was punched out of the Lemon Lime Twist layer that is under the stamped images to save on cardstock. Its a great trick on using card without it impacting the visual of the card as the punched out part is completely covered. Rotating each card adds a different look to the cards as well.

Gathering Moments Christmas

Posted on by

Last week I decided to play with the Gathering Moments Stamp set like I did the week before on my Facebook Live. However this time I wanted to create some Christmas cards instead. I decided to do similar to last week creating a 4 Square project. Stamping in the shape of a cross on an A4 Card stock piece and then chopped it down from there. I then started creating with some blues as well.

What do you think? Which card do you like the best?
