Stamped Border Card Tutorial
I have been just obsessed lately with stamping borders around my cards and projects. I love that I can mix and match inks to get color variations and the look of a stamped border really reminds me of old time letter press. Today I put together a little how to make a stamped border card tutorial. This is a video tutorial but I will also explain what I did in some of the steps below. I hope you will all join me in this card tutorial series and make some fabulous, one-of-a-kind greeting cards.

Instructions
- Tape down your card with the tissue tape so it doesn’t move around. The tape also acts as a mask to protect the back of the card from any stamping.
- Take your paisley and flower stamps and begin stamping them randomly around the edges of the card. You can use as many or as few colors as you like. I used two, a light blue and a light green.
- Once you have a border you like stamp your sentiment on the center right hand side of the card.
- Layer some paper flowers in an ‘L’ shape around the bottom right hand corner of the card and glue them down.
- Using your awl, place small rhinestones in the center of each flower.
