#simplestamping with Painted Poppy

I’ve loving all you can do with the Painted Poppies stamp set and today I’ve teamed it up with the So Sentimental Stamp set for a #simplestamping project that is my March thank you card.

This card is #simplestamping since it only requires 2 ink pads and card stock. It’s also a great for new stampers since you can combine the sentiment set with the image set of your choice.

I’ve used one of my favorite colors – Coastal Cabana to create these wonderful bright poppies. And since poppies come in all kinds of colors you could change it up with your own color choice.

Here is a quick video for you so you can see just how simple this card is to make!

Lovely Day Note Card Tutorial

The Lovely Day stamp set is found in the February Paper Pumpkin Kit and is just beautiful. So I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it and start creating. Here is what I came up with.

I reached for my Note Cards & Envelopes (144236) since not only is this a great size, but it is wonderful choice since you get both the card base and envelopes in one package at a great price, making it a economical choice. I’ve colored it with our Stampin’ Blends. I love this coloring choice since it gives us such vivid colors and they really are sooo easy to work with. And coloring is relaxing too which is an added bonus, right?

Here is a quick video showing you how I created this card.

Another Little Ladybug Tutorial

It’s time for another card tutorial! I created this little card for my Team Winter Retreat Shoe Box Swap a couple of weeks ago and set it aside to share with you.

Unfortunately, it got buried on my desk. I tend to set things in a safe place so that I can find them later. And then well, can’t. lol, Do you ever have that problem? Well you’re in luck since today I found the card and I’m sharing this project along with some of the other Shoe Box Swaps that I made too.

Dressed to Impress Shoe Box Swap Tutorial

As promised today I’ll be sharing the card I designed for the NE GA Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Shoe Box Swap that I hosted last weekend. I really love the way this card turned out. Lovely Lipstick just seemed to be a perfect choice for this card since I was choosing the lipstick image.

I’ve used the coordinating Best Dressed Designer Series Paper stack for this project since I really like the fact it has both lovely floral patterns on one side and then graphic patterns on the other that play off the stamp set images. Great for all kinds of occasions cards this spring.

I’ve put together a video tutorial for you along with my standard PDF with the complete supply list and step by step how to.
