A Quick and Simple Card featuring Mosaic Mood By Stampin' Up!

Good Morning and Happy Thursday! Is it just me or is this another whirl wind week? I mean seriously! WOW! Anyhoo, I have another quick and simple card to share with you featuring the Stampin' Up! Mosaic Mood DSP.

A Quick and Simple Card featuring Mosaic Mood By Stampin' Up!

This fun, quick and simple card featuring the Memorable Mosaic stamp set by Stampin' Up! along with the coordinating DSP, Mosaic Mood, essentially uses a 1/2 sheet of cardstock and scraps!

Card Recipe:

Whisper White card base cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4" and scraps for sentiments
Mint Macaron cut 1 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Mosaic Mood DSP cut 1 1/16" x 5 1/2"

Layer the DSP to the Mint Macaron and adhere to the card front near the left side. Stamp the sentiment onto a piece of Whisper White with Soft Suede ink and punch out using the Timeless Label punch. Then stamp it a second time in Mint Macaron ink onto scrap Whisper White and fussy cut using your paper snips. Adhere the punched sentiment to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals, then add the fussy cut Kindness to the punched piece with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. You can find the downloadable PDF below with complete list of supplies used along with measurements and full instructions.

That completes today's card featuring the Mosaic Mood DSP by Stampin' Up!. I truly hope that you enjoyed this card and find it simple yet fun. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know you thoughts. In the meantime, happy stamping,

Parcels & Petals - July 4th Celebration

Happy 4th of July! Yes, here in the US it's a big deal here today as we celebrate the birth of our nation. And, yes, I am a proud American! And as such, I decided to make a card featuring the Parcels & Petals stamp set to thank those who make it possible for us to celebrate a day like today.
I love Blueberry Bushel with Real Red and Whisper White. They go so well together!

Card Recipe:

Card Base: Blueberry Bushel 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Real Red Layer: 5" x 3 3/4"
Whisper White layer: 4 3/4" x 3 1/2"
Using the large 3 petal image from the stamp set, I stamped it on the top left and right and bottom left in Blueberry Bushel ink. I then added the sentiment in Real Red and adhered the layers together with Snail. A very quick card with only stamps, ink and paper!

Retiform and Best Catch

Hello! I have a fun card I want to share with you that I made on my Facebook Live Sunday night. It's a fun technique that I haven't used in a long time and I was reminded of it at my team meeting by one of my team members, Brenda.
Each month at our team meeting, I am having one or two of my team present a technique or new pattern to the group. I love the sharing among us and it keeps them engaged, and this month was Brenda's turn and she presented the Retiform technique. She used the too cute for words Hop Along Sale-a-bration stamp set and it got me to thinking I wanted to do something with this technique on my Facebook Live. So, I pulled out Best Catch.
It just so happens to be my product pick for this week. It's carrying over into the new catalog, however, the bundle pricing goes away with the end of the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog on June 3rd, so don't miss out on that 10% savings. Seriously!

This stamp set lends itself to this technique perfectly with all of it's different fishing related images such as the fish, fishing hat and fly. I love this set and it's perfect for the fishermen in you life. I have several.
To create this card, you will need a post it note, ink (I used Crumb Cake for the sponging and Early Espresso for the stamped images) a sponge, and a multi image stamp set. Begin by applying the post it note across the cardstock and sponge color lightly over and into the post it. Then move it around, sponging as you go, to create random areas of demarcation as seen in the photo above. Keep in mind, everyone you do, will be different. That's the beauty of hand made! Once you are happy with your results, stamp your images randomly inside the "framed" areas created by the sponging and post it note. Quick, simple and a great card! I hope you enjoyed this and if you would like to check out the video for this card, visit my Facebook page to view it here. #simplestamping
Have a great remainder to your evening and thanks for stopping by, I truly appreciate you!
Happy Stamping,

#SimpleStamping Beauty Abounds

Good Morning and Happy Thursday! I'm so glad you could come by and visit with me today. Wow, what's the weather like in your neck of the woods? It's brutally cold here in CNY. -6 degrees F० to be exact.

Anyway, today I wanted to share some simple stamping with you or #simplestamping, using the beautiful Beauty Abounds stamp set. This stamp set happens to be the stamp set I received in November at OnStage as a Prize Patrol! And I just LOVE it. And this card is so simple. First of all, the card is a simple Whisper White note card. These come in a package of 20 with envelopes making them a super amazing deal. Then I pulled out my Blackberry Bliss ink and went to town.

I began by stamping the large flourish, added the butterfly and finally the sentiment. This card was so quick and so simple and I just love it. I plan to make a bunch of these up (will take me just a few minutes) and send them out to a bunch of friends I haven't talked to in awhile, just to say hello and let them know I am thinking of them and care for them. Who wouldn't love to get a simple handmade card in the mail letting you know someone is thinking of you?

So, don't be intimidated by stamping. It's as simple as ink, paper and stamps. So my challenge to you, grab a package of note cards, an ink pad in your favorite color and the Beauty Abounds stamp set and make a bunch of these cards and send to your friends and family you want to know you are thinking of them.

Happy Stamping,

Butterfly Gala - Simply Stated Yet Gorgeous

Hellooo, and Happy Tuesday! Well, they're calling for some questionable weather today and I'm hoping the weather man is WRONG! I do NOT want to deal with freezing rain and the awful road conditions that it brings.

Anyhoo, I have a fun card to share with you today that is quick, simple and uses only a few products and features my product pick this week, the Butterfly Gala bundle. I started with a Whisper White note card and some of the beautiful Botanical Butterflies DSP from the Sale-a-bration brochure...this gorgeous paper is FREE with a qualifying order! I colored a couple of the black and white butterflies with my ink pads and Blender pens and punched them out using the coordinating Butterfly Duet punch! Yes, this punch coordinates with some of the butterflies in this gorgeous paper! Stampin' Up! sure does know how to do it up right, don't they? And since it is a duet punch and I automatically ended up with some tiny butterflies, I just flipped them over to the beautiful color printed side and added them to the card as an accent. I then stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral, die cut it out using the Rectangle stitched dies and used some of that GORGEOUS FREE ribbon from the Sale-a-bration brochure behind the sentiment and popped it all up on Stampin' Dimensionals. Like I said, quick, simple and just a few supplies!

And just a couple of reminders, this month, I am offering a free package of Epoxy Hearts from the Occasions Catalog, with every order of $50 or more before shipping and tax - be sure to use the current host code, you can find that over on the right of this post.

Also, if you would like to join my Blends club, it is closing in just a few days and there are only a few spots left. It is a 6 month commitment and you can find all of the deets here.

Well, thanks for stopping by, I truly appreciate it. I would love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to leave a comment. In the meantime, Happy Stamping,
