If it’s true that “time flies when you’re having fun” then I have been having a great time!
I am enjoying my new weekly schedule of blog posts. What do you thinkso far? I’d love to hear from you.
Saturday is my #simplestamping day. Simple stamping is just as it sounds – lovely and simple and easy. It is a style of stamping perfect for new paper crafters to have fun learning a new hobby. And, it’s great for more experienced paper crafters who want to make some uncomplicated cards, quickly.
This week I have chosen the Artfully Composed Suite. For #simplestamping Saturday, I used the Artfully Layered Stamp Set and some of the Artfully Composed 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. Wait until Sunday, when I will share some “stepped up” cards.
To make sure the #simplestamping cards are even easier to make I like to use the Notecards & Envelopes (159232) because they are precut and prescored. That means that a new stamper doesn’t need to have a paper trimmer or a pack of Basic White cardstock.
Here is the first card that I made for today’s Simple Saturday.
I used three of the stamps from the Artfully Layered Stamp Set and two inkpads – leaf, sentiment and background script, as well as Evening Evergreen and Pale Papaya.
For the second card, I also used some of the Artfully Composed 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.
I cut 1/2″ strips from 3 of the DSP sheets and adhered them to a smaller piece of Basic White cardstock. Then I stamped the leaf image onto the DSP. When dry and after a little fussy cutting, I had a great DSP element to add to the card front.
The sentiment and background script were also stamped onto the card front.
These are the two #simplestamping cards for this week’s post.
#simplestamping involves using just a few crafting products. The envelope and inside of each card were stamped using the script image.
After today’s #simplestamping cards, I am looking forward to tomorrow’s Step It Up Sunday.
Until then, happy stamping.
