Super Quick Card Ideas with only Stamps, Ink, and Paper

While I love making fancy cards, sometimes it's nice to make simple cards with just stamps, ink, and paper - or SIP cards. Today, I have some great SIP cards using the Texture & Frames stamp set with sentiments from the In Your Words stamp set. The best part of these sets? You can get them FREE during Sale-a-Bration, but only until the end of September. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Cutting Dimensions for these Simple Card Ideas

All of these cards use the same cutting dimensions. 

Card Base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Layer: 3 15/16" x 5 3/16"
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"

That's it! Super simple. This first card has the look of drips in Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, and Daffodil Delight.

Simple Striped Card Design

One of the stamps in the Texture & Frames stamp set has three brushed lines. I stamped these twice in each color, overlapping the colors to create a spectrum. 

I stamped this card front with Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, and Daffodil Delight.

All of the cards today use the Brights Color Collection, but you could easily do these cards with other color combinations as well. 

Simple Masking Technique

For this card, I used a simple masking technique. I started by placing a sticky note in the center of the card. Then, I stamped circles all over the card front in Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, and Gorgeous Grape. 

​After I peeled off the sticky note, I stamped the sentiment with Gorgeous Grape in the empty space. 

Bring a Smile to their Face with a Sunny Card

My last card was so easy to make! I started by stamping the solid circle with Daffodil Delight ink. Then, I stamped the circle frame around it with Mango Melody ink. I added the sentiment with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Finally, I stamped more circle frames all over the card front with Mango Melody ink.

​Such a quick and easy card, but the bright colors are perfect to brighten someone's day!
