Guys I love, love, LOVE argyle. I wanted to show you a few tricks with the argyle pattern stamp.

First stamp the solid diamond pattern. It's much easier if you use an acrylic block with lines. Just line up the points and stamp.

Next, use the outline diamonds and stamp over the pattern. Again, I find it much easier to use an acrylic block with lines. You want to make sure your stamp is perfectly straight. Also, I like to stamp the line image so that it crosses in the non-stamped diamond the pattern creates (in the above that would be the white).

The other day you say another card I made with these stamps, and to add to the argyle I used the small little heart from this set (see it here). But don't limit yourself, you can add all kind of small stamps to add to the argyle pattern. Below I use a small polka dot to add to the design.

I also wanted to show you another cool pattern you can make with the line stamps.

 

Just fit it into each other over and over. And check out this card I made with the same pattern.

Don't you love that? I think it's just a fun design.

Now I have to show you Heather Jensen's card. Heather was the winner of a Key to My Heart back when I announced my stamp set back in January! And check out her argyle! Isn't it so cute?

Thank you to all of you who have already purchased Key to My Heart! If you are interested in purchasing the first set you can find it over at the shop.

Lastly, I've got a flickr group set up for Practicing Creativity Designs. I would love, love, love to see the card you make with the set! You can find the group here.
