It’s so good to be back stamping! I had to take a little break as my mother (who lives with my husband and I) had a medical emergency that involved surgery for a pacemaker, a short hospital stay and is now doing well in rehab. I shared this fun card on my Therapy Thursday Facebook Live last week. (You can check that out here – Pats Card Corner) But first the card:
This card looks like a Step Card, but without all the precise measuring and cutting. You can see a little better how the card is made in the photo below. This card design is an easy alternative that you can use with any stamp set.
I chose the Lighthouse Point Stamp set as thought it was the perfect fit for a more masculine and summer themed card. This stamp set is very versatile. You can stamp the smaller lighthouse like I did for this card, or you can die cut a larger lighthouse. I’ll be sharing a card made with the die cuts later this week, so check back!
The lighthouse is stamped with two different stamps, the background and then a stamp with the “stripes”. I chose to use Smokey Slate ink for the background and then Starry Sky ink for the stripes. I also used the stamp set to create a little seaside background for the lighthouse that I stampe right on my die cut Basic White circle. I added a few “sand” die cut pieces in front of the lighthouse too. And I did just a little coloring with my Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Marker to give the lighthouse a little glow as the darker Starry Sky paper gives this card a nighttime feel.
If you would like to make this card, this card, these are the supplies you will need:
- Lighthouse Point Stamp Set & Lighthouse Dies
