Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you another card that I received in the CASE the Catalog swap I took part in. CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything or Copy and Selectively Edit. Casing is a great way to take a design in the catalog and either recreate it just as you see it or use it as the base of the design and change things up a little. This is a super cute card and came from page 8 of the January - June Mini Catalog. On the very first page of the From My Heart Suite. Here's a look at the card.
This super cute card features the From My Heart Speciality Designer Series Paper. There's four different designer series paper designs featured on this card. This is one of those card designs that will allow you to use up your designer series paper. But, it's okay you can order more. The From My Heart Speciality Designer Series Paper features playful heart patterns that have red and pink foil accents on some designs. Some images from the paper can be cut out using the Heart Punch Pack. This paper is excellent for valentines, cards, and scrapbook pages.
The sentiment comes from the Heartfelt Stamp Set which is part of the Heartfelt Bundle. The bundle contains the Heartfelt stamp set and the Heart Punch Pack. The heart punches in the punch pack coordinate with some of the images from the From My Heart designer series paper, as well as images from the stamp set. You can use both punches and punch out information from either the paper or the stamp set.
The designer series paper was layered together onto the Flirty Flamingo card base. The sentiment was added to a whisper white strip in real red ink. Behind the sentiment strip is a nest of gold thread and another strip of the SDSP. Behind the punched out heart is a strip of Real Red Double Stitched Ribbon.

Hello and welcome to my blog: Simple stamping was started to help the new and beginning stampers to have ideas and inspiration as well as learn the basics. Today I am going to share a Simple Stamping Birthday Card using the Little Ladybug Saleabration Host Stamp Set. This is a super cute stamp set that can be earned with a qualifying order of $300 during Saleabration. I am super in love with these cute little ladybugs and all the sentiments in this stamp set makes this set a perfect one for every occasion. I will also share with you two designs for the Casual and Avid stampers during this post. Here's a look at my card.
For today's simple stamping card I used just stamps, ink , and paper. These are the basic supplies along with a little adhesive that anyone needs to create a card. You can create wonderful cute cards with just these few supplies. When you are starting out you don't have to have everything in the catalog or stores to create cute projects. I love going back to the basics and using the basic supplies to create. It helps to free my mind and allows me to think creatively to create more involved projects.
Simple Stamper Version:
The Simple Stamping version I only used stamps ink and paper as I mentioned above. For my card base I used a piece of Thick Whisper White Cardstock cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I used Poppy Parade ink and stamped the two little ladybugs in the center right-hand side of the card. I used a blender pen to add a watercolor like look to the wings and little of the body using just my ink pads. This is a easy technique that is good for beginners that don't have a lot of supplies because it will widen your range of coloring media without much investment. I stamped my sentiment on a strip of Highland Heather Cardstock in Gorgeous Grape Ink. I cut a slanted end to draw a little interest. I added a strip of Poppy Parade Designer Series Paper from the Brights Paper Stack cut just a little bigger than the sentiment strip. I then stamped the little line of ladybugs above and below the stamped images and sentiment strip.

Casual Card:
For my casual version of this card I added in the addition of the Everyday Label Punch. I extended the length of the label by cutting the strip of cardstock that I stamped cut just to fit inside the punch. You have to thread the paper through one side of the punch but out the inside of the punch where the only thing being punched is the very end. I did this on both sides and then repeated it with the Highland Heather cardstock. Everything else with the card was done exactly the same, besides I added a few more Champagne Rhinestones. I did pop the punched out piece up on Stampin' Dimensionals.
Avid Card:
For my avid card I added in a few more ink pads and the addition of the coordinating dies. I added in Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and Petal Pink to go along with the Gorgeous Grape and Poppy Parade. I stamped the flower in Blushing Bride and then colored it in with my blender pen and Blushing Bride, Gorgeous Grape, and Pear Pizzazz ink pads for a simple watercolor appearance. For my ladybugs I used the two colors I had previously but also added in a little Petal Pink to their faces and bellies. I then used the Ladybug Dies (which will be coming out in February as part of this years Coordination Product Release. I will have more details on that coming soon. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is you get to order new products early so you could add these items to your starter kit by joining my team.
Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have found this post inspiring and that if you are not currently a stamper that you will give it a try.
Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card that I made using the die cut coloring hack I shared during this weeks Facebook Live. If you missed that post and video you can click here to see it. I used the Peaceful Moments Bundle to create my card for today's project. The sentiment from today's card came from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. Here's a look at the card I created.
This is a little more geared toward the casual or avid crafter with all the die cutting involved. The technique is the same just a little more die cutting involved. I started out by cutting everything out using the Poppy Moments Dies. I started out by cutting the Poppy Parade piece of cardstock first. I cut it first to 4 1/2" x 3 1/4" and then ran it through the die cutting machine twice with the more decorative die. Once facing one way and then flipped it around and cut it again in the other direction.
For the poppies and leaves I used the following cardstocks; Poppy Parade, Very Vanilla, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Shaded Spruce, and Pear Pizzazz. I used the following ink to add the coloring for the die cuts. I added a little Poppy Parade ink in the center of the Vanilla flower and added a little daffodil delight in the center. I then added the craft white around the edges. On the poppy parade flower I used poppy parade ink around the center and white around the edges. For the buds I used Daffodil Delight at the base of the buds and white at the top just a little. For the leaves I used Shaded Spruce on the dark part and came in and used a little white just around the edges. I did the same what the Pear Pizzazz just but used the matching ink. This allows for multiple tones and values on the same leaves and flowers.
Once everything was cut colored and died I could put them together. I glued everything together using Multipurpose liquid glue. I popped the Poppy Parade die cut panel up on Stampin' Dimensionals in the center of a Pear Pizzazz card base (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4). I then arranged all the die cuts around the card popping some up with dimensionals and letting others flat on the die cut panel. I stamped the sentiment in pear Pizzazz ink on a strip of Whisper White Cardstock cut at 5/8" x 4 1/4". I tucked one end under the poppies just where the sentiment showed.
Thanks for dropping by I hope that you will give the die cut coloring hack a try. If you need any of the supplies that I used today you can pick them up in my online store by clicking on the item in the product list below.
