Last week we dipped our toes into the world of collage art and applied it to our card making using images specifically designed for collage and images that we wouldn’t necessarily think could be collaged. I put together a formula of sorts that broke down the steps for stamping a one-dimensional collage. So let’s continue this conversation about collage techniques and take it one step further. Missed last week’s content? Look here!
I want to reiterate that I am not a trained artist nor feel qualified to teach art principles! I DO love to stamp and think I can help you create collage art with card making supplies that you can repeat over and over with stamp images, ink, and paper. There is not just one way to make stamped collages, nor is there any wrong way to collage. I think the process I demonstrate will be a jumping off point for you to explore stamped collage art.
Let’s build on the simple stamped collage technique we used last week and add to it more variables to create collages with more elements and depth. Definitely watch the video tutorial to see these techniques in action and grab the pdf to help you generate ideas for your collage art.

Always so much fun to watch Your
I’ve been sick lately did not do much but watching you work is relaxing
Have a blessed day
Diane, I hope you start to turn a corner and feel better soon!
You may not feel like you’re an expert at this but your creations are gorgeous! If anything you are teaching us to be brave with all the different products we can try out to achieve a different artistic look. I can’t thank you enough!
Thank you, Betsy, for your kind words. Be brave! Be Bold! Have Fun!
Question……..when you use an embossing folder do you do all your inking designs first?
Hi Betsy! Yes, I use the embossing folder last.
So happy to see you deviate from your classic card making and embrace the mixed media unknown, Robin. Amazing PlayDate and cards created!! Thank you so much for the inspiration!! 🤩💜✨🥰💐
Any word from Stampin Up on the return of the Perinneal Lavender DSP?
Hi Gwen! Yes, I deviated and had so much fun! Your cards are such an inspiration to me!!! I emailed you about the DSP.
Great video that I had to pause for my grandchildren. After they left, I made the first card and a mess with the spray and ink but loved my card. Several days have past and I have shared your video and my card. Now I’m finishing your video and the second half cards are beautiful. I’m going to try to make them. Thank you for a great video.
I’m so happy to hear that you stamped along with me and got messy! Keep going!!
