Three Easy Card Layouts Using One Stamp + Paper Pack

I’m all about getting multiple cards from one stamp set, so I grabbed the Heirloom Mum and Autumn Archives paper pack from Unity Stamp Company and made three. I kept the stamping and ink blending simple, then changed up the layout for each one. Same supplies, three different looks, and that gorgeous mum gets to be the star every time.

Angled Layers + Deckle Edges

I started all three cards the same way. I stamped the Heirloom Mum right onto the scripty patterned paper, then added ink blending around the edges to age it and pull in more of those warm fall colors. A little gold watercolor splatter finished off each panel. From there, I changed up the layout for each card.

Distress Ink Colors: Aged Mahogany | Wild Honey | Walnut Stain

For this one, I cut the mum panel with a Deckle & Stitches die and stamped the sentiment in the corner. Then I used the Edge Appeal dies to cut 2.75 x 5.5 inch strips from the Autumn Archives papers and layered them at an angle. I love these straight-edge dies because they add a fun edge and coordinate with so many of Unity’s nesting dies. I popped up the mum panel, added a string bow, and called it done. Those layered fall patterns are my favorite part.

Stacked & Layered with Fall Color

For this one, I wanted a peek of those fall papers to show, so I cut two extra Deckle & Stitches rectangles and stacked everything together. I love how the pretty patterns peek out around the mum. It gives the whole card a deeper, warmer feel.

I popped up the mum panel, wrapped and tied some string into a bow, then added the stamped and die cut sentiment. This one feels a little more layered and cozy to me. It all comes together with the ink blending that pulls those colors into the center panel.

Warm Layers + a Bold Cutaway

For this last panel, I wanted to do something a little different, so I partially fussy cut around the mum. I love how that cutaway edge brings a little drama to the card and gives you a peek at the pretty paper underneath.

I popped the panel up over two layers of patterned paper, then added the stamped and die cut sentiment with a string bow. The warm colors keep everything soft and comforting, which compliments the sentiment perfectly.

I love how different these three cards feel even though they all started with the same stamp and papers. The layered backgrounds, stacked edges, and that dramatic cutaway each gave the Heirloom Mum a totally different look. This is exactly why I love stretching one stamp set into more than one card.
