LDRS Creative | Vintage Inspired Post Card

There’s something timeless and charming about vintage postcards, and today’s card captures that feel perfectly! I used the LDRS Creative Post Card 3x4 Stamps as the focal point of my design and added extra interest with layered cardstock and subtle stamped accents from the Texturize It I & II Stamps. The mix of textures and postmark details makes this simple card feel like a treasured piece of old mail.

This card is simple, with just a few layers of cardstock and some stamping! I cut a piece of white cardstock to 3x4" and stamped the Post Card Stamps using a bit of masking and some red and blue inks. I stamped the sentiment with black ink towards the top.

I used both of the Texturize It Stamps to add distressed postage elements to the background using a mix of blue and black inks. I layered everything on some shades of light blue cardstock, and that's it! Thanks for joining me!

I'm already dreaming of snow! I know, I know ... But, I'm one of those crazy people that would live in winter year round! I love the Country Road 5x7 Stamps because it reminds me of home. I grew up on a back country road that didn't get plowed and there were always tire tracks in the snow. I decided to make this quaint scene into a postcard! 

With a bit of resizing, this could be mailed as an actual postcard instead of an A2 card. I just love that! Happy crafting!

LDRS Creative | Ocean Rainbow Inked Card

Bring a splash of rainbow color to your cards with this ocean-inspired card! Today, I’m using the Coral Reef Stamps and Dies from LDRS Creative to create a bright and cheerful underwater scene that’s perfect for summer. I’ll show you how easy it is to layer rainbow inks to give your coral reef depth and vibrancy, making your card pop with color. Let's get started! 

Products used -

Coral Reef 4x6 Stamps and Coordinating Dies

In Your Face Orange Hybrid Ink Pad

Key Lime Pie Hybrid Ink Pad
Marina Madness Hybrid Ink Pad

Raven Hybrid Ink Pad
Hybrid Ink Pad Collection

This card was so easy to make, and the bright colors really bring it to life! I started by stamping the center of the Coral Reef Stamp with Dan-D-Lion Hybrid Ink. You can start anywhere, but I like to start with my yellow ink since it's the center of the rainbow and it will easily overlap with colors on both sides of the color wheel. Then I stamped slightly to the left with In Your Face Orange Hybrid Ink and Tickled Pink Hybrid Ink. I made sure that tapped the excess ink off with my cleaning cloth before stamping onto the paper. This keeps the harsh edges away! The rest of my rainbow was done with Key Lime Pie, Marina Madness, and La La Lavender Hybrid Inks. Once my panel was stamped, I trimmed it down so that it would be slightly smaller than an A2 card. 

I added the panel to an aqua colored card base and added a stamped and die cut sentiment. Just like that, my card is finished! Thanks so much for joining me!

Mixed Postage Rectangle Dies

I stamped the main grid from the Puzzle Frames 6x8 Stamps with Alloy Hybrid Ink and added two half circles to two of the rectangles so that I could use some of the curved scenes on my card. From here it's just about having fun stamping the scenes from the Vacation Puzzle Scenes 6x8 Stamps! I chose to fill the center of the puzzle grid with four images in gray so that the sentiment would stand out. The images around the outer edge however, RAINBOW! I stamped Tickled Pink, In Your Face Orange, Dan-D-Lion, Key Lime Pie, Marina Madness, La La Lavender, and Boysenberry Blast Inks - so pretty! 

I trimmed down the panel and added it onto an aqua card base. My sentiment comes from the Lighthouse 4x6 Stamps and I stamped it onto a small die-cut piece from the Mixed Postage Rectangle Dies. I popped it up in the center of my stamped panel, and that's it! 

LDRS Creative | Clean & Simple Lighthouse Card with a Rustic Coastal Vibe

Today I’m sharing a clean and simple card that captures the quiet magic of an underwater lighthouse scene. I used the Lighthouse Stamps and Layering Stencils to bring the focal image to life, then added a subtle textured background with the Postage Collage Dies for just the right amount of depth. A soft wash of light blue watercolor frames the scene and adds that dreamy, rustic feel. Let’s dive in and take a closer look at how this card came together!

A2 Cotton Watercolor Panels

I started my design by stamping the image from the Lighthouse 4x6 Stamps onto an A2 Cotton Watercolor Panel with black ink. I knew I wanted to add some watercoloring to the background and inks blend VERY well on watercolor paper. If you haven't tried it, I encourage you to give it a go and see how you like it! I used the Lighthouse Layering Stencils to color the image with a variety of LDRS Creative Hybrid Inks. You could definitely watercolor the image, but I tend to reach for the layering stencils. They're fast and I don't have to think as much.

Once my stenciling was done, I added a light wash of blue color, keeping the color darker towards the outline of the image and letting it fade out to the background. This technique is done by adding clean water around the image, going right up to the outline, and then dropping in blue watercolor close to the image. I used my brush to help move the color a bit, and then let it whisk out to the edges and dry naturally. 

When the panel was dry, I cut it with the Postage Collage Dies to give it some texture. I cut a red mat slightly larger than my panel and added both layers to a white card base. I finished the card by stamping a sentiment, cutting it out, and adding it to the card with foam tape. That's it! Thanks for joining me!
