This week we’re featuring the card designs by Impress Rubberstamps that were used in the creation of 284 cards at a Hero Party last Sunday! We’ve linked to products in their online store where we could find the items!

Stamp leaves and flowers on the long white paper, add a sentiment, layer on complimentary paper, and then attach to the base cardstock. Add a little dab of stickles (or bling, or even a brad!) to the center of each flower. If using a wet medium don’t forget to let it dry!

Stamp a scallop tree three times, layer on complimentary paper, and attach to patterned card base; add ornaments with fabric paint or bling.

A super-simple stamp-only card! The swirls are a portion of a long border stamp, and inked in a color just darker than the cardstock. The combo of the brown chandelier and all the blue are just lovely!

This snowflake card highlights a new oversized snowflake punch! The punches are popdotted, layered on the patterned paper which was overstamped with another snowflake in silver, and a little cord added to make the snowflakes ‘dangle’ from the top of the card; the cord is tucked behind the paper before adhering it to the cardstock.

Snowglobe cards are so much fun — and this one utilizes a simple snowman, snowflakes, sentiment, and a little piece of ribbon to make a great card.

The above card features “turkey inchies” (1″ x 1″s), layered on a scalloped square, and popdotted for dimension. Gobble gobble sentiment is stamped on the satin ribbon.

A long thin card is a nice break from the usual. Two-sided cardstock coordinates the colors inside and out; adhere ribbon to the edge of the card which has been cut short to allow the 2nd color to show; sentiment is stamped onto a punched circle and adhered on top.

Get out your colored pencils to spice up these sweet Scarf Penguin and List Penguin! They’re layered on black paper, adhered off-center on a long tall piece of 2sided cardstock, with the sentiment stamped below it.

Many thanks to Impress for providing the designs, materials, and crafting space - and to the women who came to make the cards!
