1 stamp - 5 different cards

I love love love snowflakes..... they are beautiful.
I adore snowflake stamps too - they are so easy to use for so many different techniques.

I took a few snowflakes from my stamp set to create a stamp on my acrylic block. Then came up with 5 different cards, all using the same stamp.
These are the cards I came up with,

 This design has to be one of my favourites this year. So quick and easy to do. And - flat! So not extra post.... I think it would be lovely as a birthday card too, I'll just change the snowflakes for flowers.

 For this one I placed a post it note in the middle of my card and then just stamped all over the front of the card. By not re-inking every time you get a lovely shade effect - it adds a lot of tone and depth to your card.

 I did the same with this one, only this time I put the post it note on the diagonal and inked the edges of the post it too.

 For this one I stamped over the front 3/4 of the card, then I cut the remaining 1/4 away - following the pattern of the snowflakes. I used post its to mask off the area on the inside of the card and then stamped the side panel.

I did the same with this card, only this one is a square card.
To finish off all the cards I added glitter and adhesive gems.

It's a quick and effective way of getting lots of cards done...

Whatever you are doing today - enjoy!
The weather here is just perfect to stay warm inside and craft away.
