It’s time for some more #SimpleStamping! You’ve probably noticed that most of my card designs are fairly simple. I love to add bling, but I’m not big into adding layers upon layers of stuff. And so I love the idea of Stampin’ Up!s #SimpleStamping challenges! They started with just being able to use stamps, ink and paper for the cards. And then eventually they add in an extra element once in a while… like a punch or Designer Series Paper. For this month’s challenge though it’s just the basics. And it needed to be a thank you card. I’m always digging around for thank you cards so this is a great chance for my to stock up on a few.
I also like this challenge because I don’t want to get bored with crafting holiday cards too soon. It is only the beginning of November. For my card design I started with looking for the “thank you” I wanted to use. I have a few different stamp sets with a thank you and ended up using the one from the Timeless Tropical stamp set. The font is just so nice! From there I needed my images. I haven’t made a card using the Quiet Moments stamp set in a while so I decided to go with that one. Plus I love the variety of the images in this set!
Next up was my colour combination. For this card design I used Petal Pink and Mint Macaron. This is one of my favourite colour combinations! I also added in a little bit of Crumb Cake to create a background. The typed words image is such a great image to create a background or some Designer Series Paper of your own. Then I used Petal Pink for the flowers.
I popped up the phrase and blooms using some Stampin’ Dimensionals. Part of me was tempted to add some bling, but I was able to hold off. I love how this card turned out, but if you want to level it up that would be easy to do with some Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Wink of Stella or some ribbon/twine. Here’s my card…
