Stamp Something Simple

Here's another Stamp Something Simple project. You will have to look carefull to find the stamping on this card!!

The inspiration for this card came from the blog of a very talented US Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Patty Bennett. Her version of this card is actually made using a digital scrapbooking programme, but I decided to make it for real!!

The A6 base card is Basic Black. The gorgeous black and white paper is from the Night and Day Speciality Paper pack in the Mini. The lovely Ruby Red spotty paper is from the Patterns pack (Level 1 hostess gift). I added a strip of Basic Black cardstock and added a white flower from the Pretties kit with a red button from the Playground set in the centre. Using the new Jewellery Tag punch and the co-ordinating Tiny Tags stamp set (both in the Mini), I threaded some Linen Thread through the button and tied a little bow to finish.

Stamp Something Simple

I wanted to do something simple today as I have a bad back and can't move around a lot, but you've got to keep crafting haven't you..............

The Chocolate Chip base card was a left-over so I just rounded opposite corners, the Ruby Red DSP is a scrap from the Hostess Level 1 stack and the paper ribbon is a strip of Kaleidoscope DSP from my scrap box. The only 'proper' cutting and measuring was the top piece of Bridesmaid DSP. I stamped the sentiment from One of a Kind in Chocolate Chip and added a red button from the Playground button set. Not bad, I think......shame about the photography.

I am going to do Stamp Something Simple again next week - I feel liberated!!
