Lasting Joy Stamp Set Inspiration

 

Creating Beauty with Limited Supplies: Lasting Joy Stamp Set Inspiration



Hello Crafting Friends!

Today, I want to share with you a special project inspired by the joy of crafting with limited supplies. A dear friend and fellow crafter recently started her stamping journey with just a handful of colors and a couple of versatile tools. I decided to create three beautiful cards using the Lasting Joy stamp set to show that creativity knows no bounds, even with a limited palette.

Card 1: Blooms of Happiness

  • Materials Used: Lasting Joy stamp set, Real Red and Shaded Spruce inks, exposed brick embossing folder. Double Oval Punch.
  • Inspiration: The vibrant red symbolizes happiness, and the exposed brick adds a touch of warmth and texture.
  • Recipe:  Base White 8 ½ x 5 1/2 scored at 4 ¼. Layer Red 5 1/4 x 4, White 5 x 3 3/4 embossed with Exposed Brick Folder.  Scraps of Red & White for Sentiment. 

 



Card 2: Shades of Nature

  • Materials Used: Lasting Joy stamp set, Shaded Spruce & Flirty Flamingo inks, Layered Florals 3D EF, Exposed Brick EF, Heartfelt Hexagon Punch.

Card 3: Sunny Greetings

  • Materials Used: Lasting Joy stamp set, Real Red, Shaded Spruce & Crushed Curry ink, Exposed Brick EF & Countryside Corners Dies.
  • Inspiration: Let the sunshine in with a cheerful Red Flowers adding Crushed Curry to create a sunny and uplifting card.
  • Recipe:  Base White 8 ½ x 5 ½, scored at 4 ¼, Layer Shaded Spruce 5 x 3 ¾, White 3 ½ x 4 ¾, Embossed with Exposed Brick EF, Red & White scraps for Countryside Corners dies.


Tips for New Stampers:

  • Experiment with different combinations of your limited supplies to discover new color harmonies.
  • Don't be afraid to mix and match stamp sets to create unique designs.
  • The Layered Florals 3D & the Exposed Brick3D embossing folders are incredibly versatile—try it with various papers and inks.

Remember, the key to crafting is to enjoy the process and let your creativity flow. Even with limited supplies, you can create stunning cards that bring joy to both the creator and the recipient.

Happy crafting!
