Simplestamping week

Hello again, this week I am supposed to be showing some simplestamping projects.

However, first of all I will show some cards that we've been making in our classes.

 

I've made a few of these cards for class but this is my first version. 

Only a little stamping but then diecutting out the images. You can't see in my pictures but I embossed the frame with the MAPS embossing folder.

My second one, I used Dandelion Wishes to decorate the white mat. Stamped in Grapefruit Grove and Granny Apple Green ink onto Whisper White Card. The frame is Lovely Lipstick card.

I used the Foliage Frames and Circle Framelits for the messages on all of these cards.

This version once again, I used the Dandelion Wishes with Pineapple Punch and Granny Apple Green Ink.  The card is Granny Apple Green. This time I added the leaves borders from the Wonderful Framelits. I love the effect these give to the finished card.

This one I think is wrong! In addition to the Dandelion Wishes, I added Daisy Delight daisies which were punched out and fixed to it.  Not so happy with this one!

My last card is this. I made it for my son Jonathan's birthday. Based on the same shape, I made a few first to get it right! This time though, it folds into an A5 envelope. The others fit into a C6 envelope.

Everything he loves to do is on here!

 

Thank you for popping by today. 

Come an see what our amazing team mates have made tomorrow.

For todays card i used the sentiment as the starting point rather than the image. I love how this sentiment can mean so much in so many different ways. For me its all about friendship. And how those friend who are so important started as people you dont know. The sentiment is from a set called Part of My Story and thats exactly how i feel about my chosen family 😊

Todays card is using one of the fab Free yes Free stamp sets from Stampin Up. Called Home to Roost it features a cockerel stuttering his stuff. I coloured him in using Stampin Write Markers in bright bold colours. I also used the markers to add extra lines to the piece of gingham gala dsp. All together i think the bold colours and striking image make for a bright cheerful card to start the week off with 😁

Blow Out The Candles - Day 5

Hello from me for the last time this week.

As promised, I have upped my game a bit from yesterday's very simple card, the one on the right of the picture below.

 

This time, I coordinated it with the Candles and Confetti Framelits and the Big Shot.

The same style of card as yesterday but with the diecutting, it takes it to another level for those who have a die cutting machine. I sponged lightly over the circle and the white mat behind it                with Granny Apple Green Ink.

I LOVE Granny Apple Green with the Gorgeous Grape. The colours just go so well together.

As with the card yesterday, I stamped a few of the balloons along the edges of the inside mat. 

To finish off, I triple stamped the message...EAT CAKE AND ENJOY YOUR DAY.

Isn't that what everyone should do on their birthday?

Thank you for stopping by this week. Please stop by again next week to see Cary's amazing creations.

Blow Out The Candles - Day 4

Today's card is a #simplestampin card.

Unusual for me to make so straight forward a card especially as it took me as long to

design this as my other makes do!

I started this one with just a large Whisper White circle and a scalloped mat in Gorgeous Grape cardstock beneath it.  

I sponged lightly across the white circle in Granny Apple Green and also the centre of the white mat. Then I stamped the Happy Birthday message and the Balloons onto a scrap of card.  I fussy cut them out and added them to the front of the card. 

 

 On the inside, I stamped a few of the balloons along the edge for a little detail. 

Then that's it. 

Tomorrow I will be stepping up this one with a little more .....???

Please stop by and see what I did to up my game on it!
