The first #SimpleStamping challenge of 2022 is here! And it’s Sale-a-bration so it totally makes sense that this month’s challenge is some #SimpleStamping with Sale-a-bration. This month we need to create a birthday card using stamps, ink, paper and something from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. At first I thought of using the Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper because it’s filled with lots of bright, fun colours. Great for a birthday card right?! But I’m just loving the Awesome Otters stamp set so I ended up using that as the jumping off point for my design instead.
From there I needed my colour combination. Coastal Cabana is such a pretty blue so I started with that. The Crumb Cake coordinates really well, plus it’s a good colour for an otter and some sand. I also used some Old Olive so I could create a nice water scene. The Friends are like Seashells stamp set worked great for this. I used it for the seaweed and the specs of sand. Then I used a couple of the filler images, stamped off on a scrap piece of paper, to make the sand and add a bit of water.
The phrase on the outside is a great one. It can be used for a birthday card or a just because card. So since this is supposed to be a birthday card I added an extra phrase on the inside. I used the “happy birthday” from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set. Which I topped off with the birthday hat from the Awesome Otters stamp set.
I always have fun with #SimpleStamping! And doing some #SimpleStamping with Sale-a-bration made it even more fun. Here’s another card I made using the Awesome Otters stamp set.
