Expanding Your Stamps One Layer Card with Neat & Tangled

Hello Crafters! 

Earlier this week I shared this card over on the Neat & Tangled Blog. Unfortunately, I needed a sympathy card but really this technique can be used for any type of card. 


I love the Floral Heart stamp but I wanted my heart wreath to fill up my entire card. I decided to add to the original image creating a completely unique image using masking.  I stamped and masked the Floral heart as my base and then started building up around it.  


One of the most important things in card design is balance but it may be the most important element when you're putting together wreaths or floral bouquets. I made it super easy on myself by doing exactly the same things to the left and right. I stamped and masked my way along the outside border of the wreath. 


There were some areas where I needed to add extra leaves to fill in sparse areas so it isn't exactly the same on both sides but the weight of the elements match filling that need for balance. 

You can see the entire process in the video below. 


I really love the way the card came out even if it was for a sad occasion. Mary later sent me a message letting me know how much she appreciated the card and the sentiments shared in the video. If you think about it send up a prayer or two for her as she navigates her new normal. 


Thanks so much for stopping by!

  1. This is a great idea Kelly, I have also a bunch of little stamps and not always know what to do with them. This would be a great to do with those little ones. Thank you so much for your inspirational video.
