Quick and easy cardmaking! The Forever Fern Stamp Set has some gorgeous foliage to choose from to make any card look amazing! Let’s go make a card using only stamps, ink and paper!
Begin by cutting out your paper pieces (see the measurements at the end of this post). For tips on how to cut 2 card bases fast, check out my video!
Tip: For this card, start by deciding where you want your sentiment to be placed. Stamp your ferns and then cover the stems of ferns with the sentiment. See the video for details.
Using the Love and Laughter sentiment, this card would be great for a wedding, birthday or a thinking of you card. Change the sentiment and it could easily become a masculine card or holiday card.
Play around with the colors and see what kinds of gorgeous combos you can come up with! This stamp set is so versatile it will look great for lots of occasions. Get a different seasonal look just by changing the colors. You could make this summery with bright berries; fall with browns and orange and purple foliage or wintery with greens and reds or greys, white and blues! Let me know what combos you try!
I thought the Shaded Spruce ink that I used on the berries was so beautiful, so I chose to use the Shaded Spruce cardstock for the card base.
I love having the confidence that the colors in my card are going to coordinate perfectly. When you work hard on a project and the colors are just off, it is so frustrating. Has that happened to you? I can’t even count how many times I’ve been disappointed in what I’ve made because my colors didn’t coordinate. Stampin’ Up!’s inks, cardstock and Designer Series Papers all coordinate making cardmaking simple!
