If you love learning new techniques for card making, you’re in the right place! Think of them as your paper crafting super powers!!
No kidding! They’re the ideal way to perk up your designs!
For example, raise your hand if you get a little – um – bored with the same old, same old stamping? Ink and paper with a few embellishments thrown in.
Don’t get me wrong, if you’re just starting out, that’s fine!
But if you’ve been creating for a little bit, you might find you need to add more stamps to keep yourself motivated!
That’s where techniques come in.
Pull in just one or two of these super powers and your card is instantly spectacular. With the same stamps you’ve used over and over again. Talk about versatility! Make your designs:
- Stunning!
- One of a Kind!
- X-tra special!
Now who doesn’t want that?
Techniques for Card Making
So I thought why not share a bunch of techniques with the Thanks a Bunch stamps? The great news is they’re FREE with a $60 CDN order from Stampin’ Up! until the end of February!
Here are some of the comments our viewers mentioned during my live.
- Wow, a great display of techniques….some I haven’t thought of in a while.
- Cute card. Loved all your techniques that you used.
- Love your card Joanne. Great video, lots of techniques used.
- So much fun – thank you Jo!
Making this design is not only a fun way to expand your stamping toolkit. It sends a special message to the person who opens it with how much thought and care you put into the design just for them!
See what you think.
You can see exactly how to make this fun, full-of-techniques design in my Facebook Live last night. And catch a few other designs made with it by my friend Janine.

Who’dda Thought Carrots Could Be Cute?
I have to admit, I didn’t give the carrot set much more than a quick glance when I first saw my Sale-a-Bration brochure. After all…carrots? Pretty lacklustre, right?
They’re a vegetable after all!
But when you look closer, there’s a “bunch” of versatility in this set.
So many great greetings!
Add it to your stash and you’ve got spring, Valentines, anniversary, birthday, congrats and thank you’s covered! With a fun font!
