Here's a solution for those of us who love the intricate look of stained glass window-style stamps but don't have the time to individually color a bazillion cards with Blendabilities, like I did for this version. I created my "no-color" card using some simple techniques and products you probably already have in your stamp room.
Supplies List
- Gentle Peace Photopolymer Stamp Set
- Clear Block E
- Lost Lagoon 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
- Lost Lagoon Classic Stampin' Pad
- Soft Sky 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
- Silver Foil Sheets
- Banner Punch
- Filigree Frame Textured Impressions Embossing Folders
- Big Shot Die-Cut Machine
- Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder
- Heat Tool
- All Is Calm Snowflake Embellishment
- Mini Glue Dots
- Stampin' Dimensionals
- Silver 1/8" Ribbon
Cut your card base (I used Lost Lagoon) to the regular size of 8.5x5.5 inches, folded in half, and your background mat (I used Soft Sky) to 4x5.25 inches. Ready? Let's start!
There we have it! Easily capable of mass-production for all your Christmas card needs. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and all the free tutorials in the Song of My Heart Library. Please leave me a comment if you've found inspiration on my blog this week--it keeps me encouraged and posting. If you do not have a local demonstrator supplying you with great products, free catalogs, and plenty of assistance, please consider me yours as I'd be happy to help. [email protected]
Thanks for stopping by!

Lyssa...it's so beautiful!!! Now I will have to reconsider that stamp, had convinced myself I didn't have time to color it in. You are a very good bad girl!

Lyssa, How did you get that perfect silver frame around the stamp? It's beautiful and I see you use it on all your creations with this stamp. Thank you for sharing.

What a gorgeous card Lyssa! Thanks for reminding us that gorgeous doesn't always have to be complicated. Love the step-by-step tutorial, and your hints to step it up if you'd like a little more wow.

Absolutely beautiful! I love seeing a non-coloring sample for this card.

Lyssa, You always amaze me and this card is an example of why I check your blog each and every day. (I'm a faithful reader and lousy commenter.)
