Inky Borders & Beautiful Bonds

Hi friends!

Today I’m featuring the adorable Sisters and Friends stamp set, along with the Small Backgrounds set by SweetMissDaisy Designs.  I created a cheerful border using the background stamps and Salty Ocean Distress Inks.

The Small Backgrounds set includes four charming designs, each about 2 inches long, perfect for building a continuous pattern. I used a Sticky Mat in my Original MISTI and placed the floral background stamp at the 3-inch mark on the grid.  I’m so thankful for my MISTIs—this detailed stamp needed to be inked and stamped twice with Distress Ink to get a complete, crisp impression.

Keeping the stamp in place on the MISTI lid, I simply moved the paper up 2 inches to align the next section, and then down several inches to extend the pattern the length of the cardstock. Easy peasy with the right tools!

Once the background border was complete, I adhered it to a top-fold card base. Then I stamped one of the sweet girls from the Sisters and Friends set and added the sentiment to finish the card.
