Simple Stamping

Today's share is a simple card and chocolate holder that I have made for my son's teacher's gift. I've used just one stamp from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set, stamped onto the beautiful Petal Promenade designer series paper. I wanted to share with you that stamping does not have to be complicated, it really can be simple and still be pretty. 


I CASEd the chocolate treat holder from Gail at Blue Rose Paper Treasures. Her tutorial can be found on her YouTube channel here. I have just made the treat holder on it's own deciding not to stick it onto a card. I made a fancy fold card, I cut an A4 piece of cardstock in half on the short side, folded it in half, then folded the top layer in half on itself (I hope that makes sense!)


The petal promenade designer series paper is a beautiful collection of photographic images. The image on the front of the card is an image that is printed multiple times on one sheet, and I have simply cut around it. I then layered it on a piece of a copper textured image.


 I am also decorating a notebook with Petal Promenade paper and adding a 2019 diary to the gift pack. The notebook and diary did not cost that much at all, making it a cost effective gift. I am making two gift packs - one for his teacher and one for his teacher aide. My son has special needs and requires supported education. His teacher and aide have been fantastic and I cannot thank them enough for every thing they have done for my son this year. 

Thanks for stopping by!

My life sure is a roller coaster ride, home schooling two young children, one of whom has special needs.

I am so grateful for my love of craft and Stampin' Up! it definitely is helping me immensely get through each day. It is such a great mindfulness activity and I look forward to my crafting time each afternoon. Today I am sharing how I created this easy slider card using the Bonanza Buddies Bundle.

First Frost - Freshly Made Sketches Challenge

Today’s card is inspired by another card challenge - Freshly Made Sketches #372. I was excited to break out the First Frost stamp set and co-ordinating dies for this one. I had purchased them before Xmas and have only just gotten around to using them. It is a beautiful stamp set and one of my faves as I love florals.    The Frosted Floral designer series paper co-ordinates beautifully, the patterns are so colourful and printed on shiny matte paper.  Other supplies that I used are:  Card stock - Tranquil Tide, Whisper White and Pear Pizzazz  Ink - Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizazz.  Share What You Love Artisan Pearls in Tranquil Tide. I added some texture to my card base and front panel with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder, and dimension with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The fine tip glue pen was perfect for adhering the fine die cut branches on to the card base.  Purchasing the First Frost stamp ...
