Hello!
I tried my hand at assembly style cardmaking.
I can't make any promises about being fast because frankly I'm a slow stamper and, well, I like to "step up" cards with masking and coloring and blending.
The Be Jolly Stamp Set can be as simple as you would like or if you want to color the images and mix and match them like I do, you'll love today's blog/ card ideas.
I created 10 cards. 2 Designs - 5 Cards Each

| I recommend Post Its for Masking. Simply stamp image on post it, cut out, place over stamped image on your project and stamp the next image. Remove Post It and have a seemless combo of stamped images! |
There are many demonstrators out there who do the assembly or mass produce stamping incredibly well and my takeaway from those tutorials is to cut everything ahead of time to make that assembly process easier. Cut everything. Stamp everything, assemble everything done... very systematic.
My style of stamping, adding in techniques here and there doesn't always lend itself to this type of cardmaking but I did want to see what would happen if I did try this "my way."
If you want simplified choose a stamp set that you don't have to color (I love coloring personally) and don't worry about ink blending or adding layers of ribbon. There are ways to keep it super simple and super cute.
However, you are here so if you do want to re-create these cards just as I made them then get out that blending tool, ribbon, markers and let's have some fun making wow cards!

| If you want to create the appearance of sky, use Misty Moonlight ink with your Blending Brush for a soft airbrushed type look |

 |
| Assembling multiple card pieces is really fun! I have to say |
 |
| Grab those Stampin' Blends and start bringing these images to life! |
