HELLO, IT’S SATURDAY & TIME FOR SOME #simplestamping

This week I have chosen the Gumball Greetings Bundle to feature for my schedule of projects.

My pre-order, from the upcoming 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalogue, arrived yesterday afternoon! I’ll try to do an unboxing Facebook Live over the weekend to give you a bit of a sneak peek.

Both boxes weighed a total of 35 kilograms – thank goodness we have a trolley in our apartment building.

Okay – let’s see some #simplestamping projects using stamps, ink and cardstock.

The gumball machine is made up of three seperate images. Fortunately, the stamps are photopolymer. This means that it is easy to see exactly where you are stamping and each image can be aligned accurately.

I used the Tuxedo Black Memento and Flirty Flamingo inks to stamp the images for this super simple cards.

For this card I simply added the Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Write Marker to colour some of the areas of the gumball machine.

For the next card, I added some Designer Series Paper and dies.

The striped paper is from the Pattern Party DSP.

After stamping the gumball machine elements, I used the Gumball Machine Dies to cut each of them. Then I connected them using Stampin’ Dimensionals to have it pop up off the card front.

The sentiment was stamped on a small piece of Basic White cardstock.

Tomorrow I will share two stepped up versions of this card with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

SOME #simplestamping FOR YOU TODAY.

Saturday is the day that I introduce the stamping products that will be used all week. This week I have the Cactus Cuties Stamp & Punch Bundle.

CACTUS CUTIES BUNDLE

I have made two super simple cards to share with you.

For this card, I simply used stamps, two different ink colours and paper. The colours are Cinnamon Cider and Just Jade.

For this card I added one more colour – Cajun Craze.

You don’t need much to make a couple of simple, quick and easy cards.

Tomorrow I’ll share some stepped up cards.

Until then, happy stamping.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER STAMP SET

This week I will be doing things a lttle differently. I will still be following my weekly schedule but instead of featuring one product bundle or suite, I will use a different stand alone stamp set. These are stamp sets that don’t have any coordinating products – punch, dies, Designer Series Paper or embellishments.

Yesterday and today, I will share projects that are both #simplestamping Saturday and Step It Up Sunday cards.

Today’s stamp set is Nuts & Bolts.

NUTS & BOLTS CLING STAMP SET

These little robots are so super cute.

This #simplestamping card uses Basic Gray and Crushed Curry Classic Stampin’ Pads and the Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker.

These are the three stamps I have used for all of today’s note cards. The lines image is stamped on the envelope and inside the card.

For this card I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Now a card for a casual stamper.

A casual stamper tends to have a few more tools in the craft collection.

This card also features the Pattern Party 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper and uses the Layering Circles Dies.

Stepping the card up for an avid stamper, I have die cut the DSP to create a frame for the robot image. The DSP sits up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I wrapped a length of white twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack around the DSP and tied a small bow.

Another ink pad has been used and the ‘NUTS + BOLTS’ was cut out and popped up with dimensionals.

The Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends pen was used to colour some round silver Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials.

My last card is ideal for an Artfully Avid stamper. It features embossing, colouring and layers.

I used the stripes from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders for the background texture.

The Epoxy Essentials were with the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends pen as well the the dark Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends pen.

Iused several Stampin’ Write Markers to create the patchwork colouring of this cute robot.

It was fun creating these five cards. I hope you like them. Which one is your favourite?

Tomorrow is Memories on Monday. I haven’t decided which stand alone stamp set I will use yet.

Until then, happy stamping.
