What Makes These Cards Special:

  • Quick Stamping: No coloring, just beautiful florals stamped in kraft ink over text paper.
  • Two Layouts for Flexibility: Changing up the orientation with the same supplies gives each card a fresh, unique feel without extra effort.
  • Repeatable Layouts: These simple designs are easy to use again and again with different papers and sentiments.
  • Sentiment Switch: Each design works beautifully for multiple occasions by changing the sentiments.
  • Pretty Paper Layers: Mix and match patterns and themes to make the most of the paper in your stash.

With Sympathy Set

Sympathy card with kraft floral over text paper, teal blue sentiment with blue dot and plaid scalloped layers, designed by Lisa Arana dahlhouse-designs.com

Soft blues and gentle plaids create a soothing palette for this thoughtful card pair. The floral is stamped in warm kraft over subtle text print, allowing the bold turquoise sentiment to bring a gentle focus. These clean designs come together quickly and are lovely to have on hand for when you need them most.

Creative Tips & Techniques:

  • Build a batch of these ahead of time and leave them sentiment-free until needed.
  • Use tone-on-tone stamping to keep it simple while still adding interest.
  • Choose sentiment stamps with bold fonts to stand out against a patterned base.
  • Stick with two ink colors and a neutral for speed and coordination.
  • Layer scalloped borders or leave them off for a cleaner, faster look.
  • A stamping platform like a MISTI makes it quick and consistent to stamp multiples.
  • Use a subtle pattern paper between bold prints to help separate and soften the layers for a more cohesive look.
