Sometimes I forget just how much I love stamping. Ink, stamps and paper = love! Often I create projects using other mediums like chipboard, die cuts and felt and I forget how much I enjoy the simplicity of stamping out a card.
This weekend I stamped like a crazy person. I’ve still got the inky fingers to prove it! While Andrew sat watching the Miami Hurricanes play, I stamped (and kept interrupting the game to ask his opinion…that poor poor man!)
For the next few days I’ll share my stamped projects with you!
Brace yourself for today’s project. Not only are there a ton of photos ahead, but I really took a leap of faith and went with a look that is quite different from my typical style. Let me know what you think!
Before I walk you through the creative process, here’s a peek at the final product!

Amber…LOVE your background paper…perfect…lovely, just like you!
genius! that’s awesome!
Really creative. TFS this Amber-
Awesome! Great idea. TFS.
so cool, fabulous pattern!
I’m speechless! That pattern is gorgeous, and so are the colors you chose.
Gorgeous! I love how you used a bunch of different sets! That pattern is awesome!
Love. Your pattern is absolutely genius!
You are taking creativity to a new level. I love all three cards. I never would have thought to combine all those images (mostly because I can never keep track of all the stamps I have!), but now I can do this, thanks to your wonderful tutorial. I have only been following your blog for a short time, but I have been struck by your ability to take a small, usually unnoticed (by me) stamp from a set, and build a fabulous card around it. To me, these cards take that talent, and magnify it 10X. So, perhaps these cards aren’t your usual style, but to me, they showcase what I see as your unique approach to stamping. I always learn from your cards.
So pretty Amber!! I love that iconic images set. Super versatile!
I thought I was visiting Amber’s site, but there’s distressing on one of those cards, so I am not so sure…. *wink*
These are GORGEOUS… you rocked this challenge!! I LOVE your Chritmas card, that one chomped corner just did it for me.
Awesome lady!
PS – Joyce said everything perfectly… she’s so right about how you take the tiny little stamps the rest of us barely see and make something amazing from them!! 🙂
I love your handstamped backgrounds Amber! How awesome that you found the perfect fit with that Iconic Images stamp. So fun!
Lovely unique cards! Do you happen to like digis? I have free ones available if you want to stop by…. would be honored!
Gorgeous cards! Love all the different stamps you used to make the backgrounds!
Holy smokes! I am sooo impressed! Superb design! Love the color combos too!
My jaw dropped. These are stunning. Love, love, love and I’m with ya sista on the stamping love – there’s nothing more thrilling than creating your own beautiful backgrounds. I really want your Christmas card. Now I’m wishing I had those stamp sets so I could make that same card for my friends.
Hi Amber,
Your background papers are beautiful. Love, them Linda
Wow! I can hardly wait to try your technique-absolutely beautiful, Amber! Thanks again for the inspiration!
Really?! Really. Really!? Unbelievable Amber! The combination of stamps here are absolutely amazing. Such fabulous work. My favorite is the Christmas one with ink on the edges 🙂
More amazing cards! I am totally in awe of your stamping skills! Thanks so much for sharing your process!
These are BEAUTIFUL Amber! The green with the pink centers is my favorite!
Stunning, Amber. I love a girl who can make magic with stamps!
Absolutely lovely!
