For March I've designed a set of 3 cards that my papercrafting group is going to make. I tried my hand at making a chalkboard card using one of Close to My Heart's quick cards stamps. I like how it turned out, but I'm not sure how much it looks like the chalkboard cards floating around out there on the internet.
It's the one on the left hand side. I used black cardstock, embossed the image in white embossing powder, and then colored the dragonfly with some pencils. I added a bit of white pigment ink to give the chalkboard look, and outlined the image with a white pencil.
The other technique is the Buzzing card. For that one I sponged 3 different ink colors on the stamp (it too is a single image stamp) and then stamped the whole thing on Colonial White cardstock.
The Happy Birthday card is a little more involved. No fancy techniques were used for stamping, but the card itself is more than just what you see here. It opens up.
This card uses the same stamp as the Buzzing card above, but I've cut out the bee and the sentiment. I got the instructions for making this foldout card from

All cards are made using the Buzz and Bumble paper pack from Close to My Heart.
Happy crafting!
