How to Have a Really Great Stamp Collection #1

Being a stamp addict myself, here are some thoughts on having a really great stamp collection.

You need a good variety, not a lot, but a good spread to cover most occasions.

Look at the stamps you already have, and divide them into three groups: -

1. THEME STAMPS

These are picture stamps. If you have a love of something, maybe teddies, geckos, butterflies ... use this as it means a lot to you and you will be able to create even greater things than you thought possible.

Maiden Hair Fern Card

Welcome to my second blog - Maiden Hair Fern Card

Quite a few people have enjoyed reading my first, so we've decided to submit on a weekly basis, each week showcasing different products or techniques. This week we are going to create a simple card, the basics of which you can change colour and papers, but the idea will stay the same.

This simple card is based on a simple formula - base card, narrow frame around your feature paper, small inset, stamped in matching colour to the paper, again with a narrow frame. See sample card photo for reference and placement of card and paper panels. If you'd prefer a different colour scheme, just change your papers and your stamp, again can be anything you like - I enjoyed using the maiden hair fern stamp as it gave different texture and a feeling of direction.

As always, if you have any queries regarding this project or any of our products, please phone or email us! We love to hear from you! enquiries@amazingcreations.com.auThis e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
