1 Paper-2 Techniques

I thought it would be fun to take 2 identical pieces of paper and make 2 cards using 2 techniques. One uses rubber stamps and one uses Cricut. The paper is from MMBI and both use an EK Success corner punch. This first one uses my Cricut and the Winter Woodlands cart for the branch, cardinal, and the sentiment. I trimmed the paper and matted it a bright red cardstock. I inked a bit on the cardinal and doodled a little line on 2 edges.


This is the second one. I trimmed and double-matted the paper. I then stamped the bird and "peace" (both from Inkadinkado) in the open white area. The bird is colored with Prismas and OMS . I doodled a border line on this one too and added a few self-adhesive rhinestones to the tail.




One thing I noticed was that the color of the red cardstock really "changed" the color of the red in the background paper. I like them both - hope you do too!

    Wow, Kris ... both of these are wonderful ... I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite! What fun to create two different 'looks' from one awesome paper. Great job.

    WOW! I saw the first one on the mb and glad I popped in to see this one! HOW PRETTY! Love them both Kris, and I really like that they are so mailable! Don't know how I'm ever going to mail my 1 inch thick cards. Time to flatten out, I guess! LOL! This is great inspiration!
