Easy to Make Simple Pop Art Card

 

Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog. This is the quickest card I was able to pull together in a while. I have been more into making complex cards lately. This card does not require a lot of of supplies and it only requires simple crafting techniques.

I only used one stamp on this card. I used the Blank Page Muse Steampunk Watch Face Rubber Stamp. 

I die cut different pastel colored cardstocks. You don't even need to do die cutting. You can just trim the cardstock into squares. I just like the stitched detail on the cardstock created by the die.

I used the negative cut as a die cut positioner for the squares. I positioned the negative cut on the sticky mat which is inside the stamping tool. 

I inlaid one of the squares to the opening of the negative die cut. I positioned the stamp over the stitched square die cut. I applied washable glue to the back of the stamp to adhere this to the door of the stamping tool.

I inked the stamp with a dye ink. At first, I was going to do a tone-on-tone look but I changed my mind. I inked the clock image with a brown ink. 

I stamped the clock image to the square die cut.

The great thing about using a stamp positioner is that I can re-ink and re-stamp the image on the same spot. I repeated the stamping about three times to make the impression crisp.

I removed the stamped square die cut off the sticky mat using a spatula. You can also use a craft knife or craft pick if you don't have a spatula.

I positioned another square die cut on the negative die cut. Now, I am ready to ink and stamp again on this square die cut. This trick just makes the process easier and quicker since there is only one stamp that was used.

I arranged the square die cuts on the front of a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" note card. I applied liquid glue to the square die cuts.

I lightly placed the glued square die cut on the note card.

I continued adding glue to the square die cuts and placing them on the card front until all of the die cuts have glue on it.

Once I am happy with the placement, I pressed the square die cuts to the note card. I set this aside to dry. I placed something heavy over it while the glue dries.

I cut a gray cardstock strip at 1/2" x 5 1/2". I adhered this to the fold edge side of the card front. 

I rounded the outer corners with a corner punch.

I hope you like today's project and give this design a try.
