I decided to take a stab at this month’s #simplestamping challenge. I’ve done a few so far and I enjoy when Stampin’ Up! adds a twist to things because sometimes I find it hard to stick just with the stamps, ink and paper that we’re usually allowed to us. For this month’s challenge they threw in that we’re able to use like Designer Series Paper.
I actually ended up creating two projects, using the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper for both. As for the stamp sets, for the first one I chose to use the Beauty Abounds cling stamp set and for the second (scroll down for that pic) I decided to use First Frost.
In terms of cardstock and ink colours, I pulled from the Magnolia Lane DSP and went with Mossy Meadow and Petal Pink.
With the first project I simply used 4 squares with each one featuring a different design from the DSP. Then in keeping with the square theme I stamped a phrase onto a larger square and then used the 4 as a background. I wanted to add a little bit more to the project so I decided it would be nice to stamp some bubbles using Petal Pink ink and then a phrase on top using Mossy Meadow ink.
I really like how it turned out and I’m thinking I may step this project up even a little bit more. Here’s the project sheet for you…

And here’s the second project I created for this challenge…
With wedding season upon us I thought this might be nice. I simply used a strip of Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper and then placed the word congratulations on top to create a banner.
