Polkadoodles Mother's Sentiment clear stamps to make one layer card + matching tag & envelope

Following a demo I did on Hochanda recently, show casing the Mother's Sentiment stamps from Polkadoodles, I have used the same idea(ish) to share how to make quick, one layered card, tag & matching envelope. I really did also try & create a design that could be batch made if you are a crafter who sells their cards.


What is slightly strange about my projects is that I would have appeared to have embraced the white space! There is also made a step by step video, showing how each were made - see below.

MY PROJECT

I began by cutting myself a heart shaped aperture the same size as my card blank. Using this, I have then stamped my design using a range of the stamps - from Mother's Sentiment clear stamp set - plus a selection of coloured ink pads.

Next, to outline the hearts, I have used Nuvo water colour pencils & a water brush. This gives your eyes a focal point on the card, tag & envelope.

The main "Mum" sentiment is from Mother's Sentiments by the smaller "Love You" have been taken from "All about her" clear stamp sentiments.

I used my stamping platform for the sentiments. This way I could make them as dark as I wanted by repeat stamping.

I'm quite chuffed with the envelope because who wouldn't want to receive it via the post declaring their love for you. Also gotta say ... I managed to do a CAS design - a goal of mine for 2020.

YOUTUBE VIDEO

Whilst making my card, tag & envelope, I videoed myself. After a wee bit of editing, I have managed to get the video down to 6 minutes in length. That doesn't mean I have fast forwarded sections at the same pace as the speed of light ...!
