If you love clean and simple cardmaking, this tutorial will show you how to create beautiful one layer cards using ink blending and Copic coloring. These handmade MOM cards are perfect for beginner to intermediate cardmakers who want polished results without adding bulk.

In this video, I’ll walk you through how to combine stamping, soft ink blending, and simple stenciling to create a focal panel that really stands out—all on a single layer. I’m using the Mom Stamp Set along with blending inks and Copic Markers to show how these products work together for smooth color, easy shading, and a cohesive design.

This is a great approach if you enjoy simple layouts but still want your cards to feel finished and special. I also share tips along the way to help you feel more confident mixing techniques, while getting the most out of your stamps, inks, and coloring supplies.
