Stamping with a SIP is such an easy way to make beautiful handmade cards! Here’s the products we used and cards we made in the video class. Didn’t Jesi do such a great job?! It was fun to see how her confidence grew in such a short time while stamping one card. And as you can see, it does not take a lot of products to get started.
If you’re a beginner card maker, just start with one stamp set you like. There are so many great ones to chose from, so find something that you will enjoy creating with. And then many grab a simple sentiment stamp set while you’re at it so you can create cards for all occasions.
