SIMPLE STAMPING WITH FOREVER LOVELY STAMP SET

Today's card is a very simple card using very minimal supplies and making great use of the Stamparatus.

I love the way this stamp set makes it so easy to create the flowers and the leaves and stems in two separate colours and by using the Stamparatus you can easily align the separate images exactly where they need to be stamped.

This set comes as a bundle with gorgeous co-ordinating dies.  On this card only the stamp set has been used.

I have created the card as a 4" x 4" note card.  The white layer is 3 3/4" x 3 3/4".  The Stamparatus has been set up to stamp at the bottom of the white layer and then turn the piece upside down to stamp again (again you will be stamping on the bottom).   This should make the top and the bottom of the card stamped evenly.

The flowers were stamped first in Real Red and then the leaves and stems in Granny Apple Green.

The sentiment is also from this set which has been stamped in Real Red on a separate strip of white cardstock and then adhered to the middle of the card.

Here is a closer look.

I then simply adhered the whole of the stamped white layer to a Real Red card base (4" x 4").

Voila one simple and very cute little notecard which could even be used as a Valentine Card.

These are the supplies used to create this card:

The Paper Players Challenge #179

Today I am sharing the card I created for the The Paper Players Challenge.

This was a challenge where we had to create a one layer only Valentine card.

I found it so hard sticking to just the one layer, somehow just doesn't seem enough.

I started with a base card of white and then just basically stamped the hearts from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set in the colours of Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana.

It seemed a little too plain to me so I added in some light stamping of some stamps from Gorgeous Grunge - my favourite stamps for creating backgrounds.

What do you all think?  Do you like Clean and Simple with only one layer, or are you a layers girl.  I can definitely say, I like my layers.

It was a very quick and easy card to put together once I decided on which stamps and colours I wanted to use and it would be easy to create many different cards just by changing the colours.

Valentine's Day Card

It is almost time to celebrate Valentine's Day.  For all those romantics out there here is a lovely card I have created with Valentine's Day in mind, but you could easily change the sentiment and it could become a lovely birthday card.

Gone a bit mad with the embossing folders on this one, but I just love those cute embossed hearts and it was so easy to create the embossed and scalloped border using the Delicate Designs Border Embossing Folder and the large Scallop Edgelit.

You will notice from some of my previous posts that I have again used a similar layout to some of my Christmas cards but just changed the colours around etc.

Supplies used:  Cardstock - Basic Black, Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler Inkpads - Cherry Cobbler, Stamp Sets - Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Punches - Modern Label, Word Window, Delicate Designs Embossing Folder, Large Scallop Edgelit, Fashionable Hearts Embosslits, Black Satin Ribbon (retired), Gemstones
