#Simplestamping - Day 2  

Today's card is for the new baby about to come into someone's life,

A very straightforward one again this has only the one layer except for the small mat in the centre.

I stamped onto a card base using the lovely Wonderful Moments stamp set.

For more information on the stamp set, please click HERE

It's a great set as it covers so many different categories in the life of a young woman. 

I stamped the lady's image using Memento Ink pad and coloured it in very simply.

 Added that onto a small Highland Heather Mat and mounted it using Dimensionals.

I did the same with the message on the outside too. 

I finished off with a few more flowers and another message inside.

Weekly Inspiration

#Simplestamping  

Hello and welcome back.
This week I am going to show you some projects tha I have made very simply.

I used the lovely new stamp set called Magnolia Blooms.

Ideal for the beginner or and experienced crafter as it contains everything 

needed to make some beautiful projects. Another great thing is that it coordinates with another stamp set called Good Morning Magnolia. It's gorgeous!!

For more information on this gorgeous stamp set, please click HERE

I started with Whisper White and Granny Apple Green card stock. Using Pretty Pink and Granny Apple Green Ink pads, I stamped the flower and the leaf several times over a white mat. 

At only UK £13.00 for this stamp set, it's fantastic value and really should not be missed.

I stamped a further 2 magnolias onto some more white card. One had a message added to the mat.

The other I cut out with scissors and mounted it using Dimensionals.

Another 2 mats inside the small magnolia stamped along one edge 

and a simple message to complete this one.

Rainbows...

Who doesn't love a rainbow? Today's samples are the same just steped up a little from each other.
The stamp is called Hoot Hoot Hooray and is from a newly released beginner crafter brochure called Experience Creativity fron Stampin Up. The other stamps in the set are pictured too.
If you'd like a copy of the brochure sent to you please message and we'll get one to you as soon as possible.  😁

Friend Like You - Day 5 

Today's card is another simple one except for the cutting.

I started with a 21cm square, scored it vertically and horizontally in both directions.

More information on the stamp set can be found HERE

 

I cut along only 1 of the quarter sections to the centre. I scored the 2 top sections diagonally to meet in the centre at the top of the card. 

Once cut and scored, I added a little magnet to the centre front corners top and bottom of the card. The 2 lower sections which had been cut, now slide over each other and the magnets seal it open.

I decorated the card using some paper from the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.

I think the papers go beautifully with the Mango Melody card that the card base was cut in.

Using messages from the stamp set, I added a few and randomly placed them across the card.

To send this is very easy as it folds flat into a small square envelope.

That's it from me for this week. 

Thank you so much for joinng me. I hope that I've given you some inspiration to make some beautiful cards whether you are a beginner or a crafting whizz!

Cary will be back next week to show you more amazing projects as always.

Friend Like You - Day 4 

Hello again. Today's card is another easy to do card but it has a few folds in.

I cut a piece of card 10.5 cm by 29.7 cm and folded it in the middle at 14.85 cm.

Once folded, I folded back one of the sides in half again to form a Z fold.

 I cut a small mat 8 by 10 cm and stamped a message and decorated the edges. I used Granny Apple Green and Gorgeous Grape Ink pads. This was layered onto Granny Apple Green card.

Using some DSP from the NEW In Colours, I chose a piece of the Purple Posy papers and added them to the front and inside of the card. I added the panel centrally to the card base.

Decorating the inside and adding a message to finish off this one.

Friend Like You - Day 3 

Hello again. With the stamps today I have made this card very simply. Or #simplestamping

More information on the stamp set can be found HERE

Onto a White mat, I stamped Happy Day as many times as I could. I used Pacific Point Ink pad.

The single message was stamped with So Saffron Ink pad.

I added a strip of the White Flax Ribbon and stamped a few of the leaves again in So Saffron. 

To complete this card, I added the lovely message inside with Pacific Point Ink.

Friend Like You - Day 2

Today's card is another straightforward one. As is most of this week,
 this is otherwise known as #simplestamping

I have kept everything very simple. The only extra tools that I have used is punches.

Not essential but they do add a nice touch if you have them.

This one is a Pool Party card base and a white mat with the centre cut out. 

I stamped the 3 palm trees in the centre of the card base

using Pear Pizazz and Crumb Cake ink.

The stamp set is called Friend Like You. For more information, please follow the link HERE

I stamped the dragonflies all over the white and matted it onto another piece of Pool Party. 

This panel was then adhered using Dimensionals.

The message was stamped in Pear Pizazz Ink.

I added the message and dragonflies to complete this one.
