Stamp It Cards is one of my most favorite magazines each year. I look forward to getting my hands on it and sitting down with some French Vanilla for some fresh inspiration. While I love paper crafting in many different styles and products, stamping is something I come back to time and time again. There is something wonderful about the magic of making an impression and creating with rubber. Stamp It cards is always full of great ideas and I love seeing the different stamps and trends each year. This issue was particularly exciting for me as this is the first year that I not only have some designs in this issue but some stamp sets I designed as well.

I admit it…I did go a little stamping crazy on this design. I was having so much fun I didn’t want to stop. This design actually illustrates my favorite thing about stamping. You can stamp on almost anything, make it your own. For this card, I stamped and inked a tag, stamped on some Crystal Clear Plastic to make my own transparency and stamp some text to alter the cute pink brad.
Quick Tip: Sponge tag with ink and then spritz with water for a subtle, watermarked look.
