Finishing a Homemade Thank You Card Using Rubber Stamps

Video Transcript

Hi! I am Shelly Cordsen I am with Expert Village.com. We are continuing our segment on making this thank you card and we are to the point that we are now going to stamp and assemble. Okay. I am not going to put a piece of color on here. I am going to actually use my inks to color that. I will take my ink pad and this particular one I can take the lid off and then I am just going to use it and just make sure you have scrap paper and I am just going to start rubbing this ink pad all over this card just to get… you can just stamp, you can do whatever you want and voilà! You have colored that without using paper. So you get dual purpose from your inks. Okay, we are going take a white piece that we precut. We are going stamp this into our green. This is our stem and I am going to show you what first, second, third generation stamping is. You stamp one that’s first, you stamp again second and third voilà! You have three different colors you can use out of one ink pad and that’s what we are going to do on this card. I am going to put one here and do a second generation, re-ink and put one up here and then another second generation. Okay, now I am going to do a pink with my solid and I am going to use this side. Looks very nice since I can see where I am going to stamp that and I go here and here, do a second generation and then another. So I have various colors, flip it over I have an outlying stamp. I’m going to use black then I am going to go right over because I can see the top of what I have already stamped and I can line it up precisely. Okay, another way to add accent is take your card and drag it through one of your colors and then you get color on the edge of your paper. We are going to glue it. I like to use a Tombo. Put your tape on there. Leave that there, take your card, put some tape on it. You are going to glue that to the front, come up a little high, take your thank you, I am using black because it is what I have got to kind of come down and see where I am stamping and hope I got it straight voilà! Take your envelope for an added interest, take your flower, stamp the bottom and in less than three minutes you have a card.
