Simple Stamping

Are you new to the world of rubber stamping, or do you get stuck for creative ideas? The great thing about stamping is that it doesn't have to be complicated - you can achieve beautiful cards with simple stamping that requires little supplies. Just some card stock, ink and a stamp set is all you need.










I've used the Incredible Like You stamp set (available in the new Occasions Catalogue), whisper white card stock and calypso coral, pear pizzazz and momento black inks to create this simple card design. This stamp set is a two set stamp set - the flower image has a lighter solid background image plus a darker outline image that are stamped on top of one another to create depth and shading to the image. The avid crafter that I am is thinking to add some bling or die cuts but that would defeat the purpose of simple stamping and I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out.




For this card I continued the simple stamping theme but just added more images to make it seem a bit more elaborate than the first design. I love the new lovely lipstick ink, such a lovely rich colour and it compliments the pear pizzazz and petal pink inks beautifully. 
I am slowly building my Stampin' Up! product inventory and I don't own a lot of embellishments or designer series paper to create cards so I am loving simple stamping. Why don't you give it a go? I would love to see what you come up with. Comment below with a link to or photo of your simple stamping card.

It is now Spring here in Australia , the last few day we have had glorious weather. It is very welcome after a cold and very windy winter. Today's share is this thank you card that I have entered into Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlight challenge. The theme of the challenge is Encouragement.

Snow globe shaker card featuring new holiday products!

Not long to go until the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue 2019-2020 is released. One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is I am able to pre-order new product before they are available to order. I couldn't wait to make this shaker card featuring the new Still Scenes bundle and coordinating products. At first I was trying to imagine how to line everything up so that the snow globe shaker dome fit in the die cut aperture, but once I began to work on the project it was a fairly easy process.
