2 Step Stamping: The Time Saving Way to Make Beautiful Greeting Cards

Have you ever tried 2 step stamping? It’s a time saving way to make pretty cards and scrapbook pages. These even have the wonderful look of being watercolored but shhhhh….the secret is ours!

What are 2-step stamps? That is a question I am often asked. So, today we are going to make a card where we are coloring with 2-step stamps.

We are using the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and this 2-step set makes coloring your images easy peasy and quick!

2 step stamping is super simple to do and is a great time saver on these 2 cards I madee.

These cards may look like they took a lot of time and work, but they were truly easy.

I really like the look of this “colored” image. You certainly can see where the name of this stamp set came from – Hand-Penned Petals.

Not only is the 2 step stamping fun but I love the scalloped die cut border on this card too.
