Step up a simple stamping project

If you are a beginner stamper it can be overwhelming thinking of what to create with your beautiful stamps. The best place that I have found to start, is to create simple projects with just a few items - such as stamp, ink and paper, then slowly add other elements. Things like die cuts, stampin' dimensionals, different mediums, ribbon and designer series paper can add dimension, texture and colour.

I've used the Hoot Hoot Hooray stamp, whisper white card stock, watercolour pencils, and some ink to create a simple card. Then I have stepped up the design by adding some stampin' dimensionals, coloured cardstock and linen thread. View the supply list below.

Watch my time lapse tutorial video on YouTube to see how I put it all together:

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 ...
