But before I get started...check back to all of our April Blog Hops to see if you are one of the many Winners and claim your prizes! Denise Sayers is a Winner here at My Kraft Kloset, for April 2019! Congratulations!!!
So I took my inspiration from "producing much fruit." But other things are "fruitful" too, which makes these monthly themes SO much fun. Because they really do stretch our imaginations and creativity to design something totally different from each other. We hope you join us and post your "fruitful" creations to the Unity Show & Tell Facebook page too! We'd love to see them and see where your creativity takes you!
Berry Background Card:
Today I'm going to show you how to take one stamp set and use it a couple different ways to really be "fruitful and abundant" with your stamps to create many cards and stretch your budget too. Like this berry patch background I created on my card project below...
(clean & simple) CAS Berries Card:
For my next project I used the same stamp set as above, but in a more clean and simple way. Which means more "white space" (or green space in this case) and less busy by using less embellishments.
Berry Border Card:
And for my final card I used a brand new border stamp a couple different ways from simple to more detailed. And the looks are amazingly different.
And there you have my "fruitful" projects that are so sweet & lovely
for Mother's Day (May 12th), Graduation, Birthday, Anniversary, Wedding, and many more occasions!
I hope I've inspired you to try your stamps in new and creative ways.
The possibilities are endless!
