Simple Rubber Stamped Cards
Today I am showcasing the Floral Statements stamp set to show you how to create simple rubber stamped cards. It was one of the first stamp sets in the 2017-18 Annual Catalog that jumped out at me. I just love the large words with the floral images interspersed.. It’s so easy to make really quick and easy cards with this stamp set. You can create a real WOW factor with just one step. Choose a color, stamp and you are done.. By changing the color of each card and varying the layout slightly you can create a variety of looks. It doesn’t have to be a dramatic change to get a different look.
Recipe: Paper. Images. Embellishments.
Paper: Whisper White, Powder Pink, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist & Tranquil Tide card stock
Images: Floral Statements stamp set & Better Together stamp set & 2017-19 In Color Classic Ink Pads
Embellishments: 1/8″ Silver ribbon, Berry Burst Metallic Edge 3/8″ ribbon
Extras: Stampin’ Trimmer, Big Shot, Sponge Daubers, Dimensionals, Snail and Glue Dots
The Color Palette
The Project:
Step 1:
Cut your pieces.
- Cut 3 sheets of 8 ½” x 11” card stock in half (Powder Pink, Berry Burst & Fresh Fig), measuring 8 1/2″ x 5 1/5″ and 2 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ card stock in half (Lemon Lime Twist & Tranquil Tide), measuring 11″ x 4 1/4″ to form the base of your card. Then score in the center.
- Cut 5 pieces of Whisper White card stock 4 ½” x 3”.
- Then, cut 3 pieces of white card stock ¾” x 3 ¾” and cut 2 pieces of white card stock ¾ x 3 1/8″.
- Cut 1 piece of card stock 1” x 3 1/2″ in Berry Burst.
Step 2:
Stamp your images.
- Stamp the ‘Hello’ image from Floral Statements onto the 4 ½” x 3” Whisper White card stock using one of each ink color. Tip: It is easier to ink a large stamp by placing it rubber side up and applying the ink by gently tapping over the image with the ink pad.
- Stamp the 3/4″ wide Whisper White strips with ‘let’s talk soon’ from Better Together. (You will only ink the “let’s talk soon” and not the “hello” part of the stamp.)
Step 3:
Finishing touches.
- Use the Triple Banner punch to create a banner with each strip of Whisper White card stock and the Berry Burst strip.
- For card #1 and #4 and #5 use a sponge dauber to apply ink along the outside edge of the banner pieces.
- Cut ribbon for your cards: 18” for cards #1 & #3, 16” for card #4.
- Cut 10” of ribbon to tie a small fork bow for card #2 & #5. Fork Bow tutorial courtesy of Patsy Waggoner.
Step 4:
Putting it all together.
- Adhere the card stock piece stamped with “Hello” to the card base using dimensionals.
- For cards #1, #3 & #4 tie ribbon around front of card using pictures as reference. Place a glue dot behind the bows to keep in place.
- For cards #2 & #5 adhere bows with a glue dot.
- Adhere the banners to the cards, using the photos below for reference, with dimensionals.
- Tip: Play around with the placement of the main image, the sentiment and the ribbon to create variety and have fun!

A set of these cards with envelopes would make a great gift or to keep on hand for your personal use.
To present as a gift, place the 5 cards with envelopes into an acetate card box. Tie a 26″ piece of Berry Burst metallic edge ribbon around the card box. You have a lovely handmade gift that is sure to impress. To see another project using the acetate card box click here.
