Simple Stamping Challenge Featuring Hooray to You Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. For my last card this month featuring retiring stamp sets, I am using the Hooray to You Stamp Set. I have used this stamp set many times for quick and easy birthday cards, but this is the first time I have shared them with you here. The April Simple Stamping Challenge is to create a card with stamps, ink and paper using retiring product. This is a must have stamp set, especially for #simplestamping, and I think you will agree!

#simplestamping

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"); one card in Mango Melody and one card in Misty Moonlight, The Basic White layer is cut 3 3/4" x 5" with a 1/2" strip of coordinating DSP along the left side. The images and sentiment are stamped in Mango Melody and Misty Moonlight.

This is a peek at the inside sentiment. So simple. Give the #simplestamping challenge a try!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope my project has inspired your creativity. I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

April Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the April Paper Crafting Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from across the globe! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Maureen Rauchfuss's blog. Great project, Maureen! Welcome one and all.

The theme for this month's blog hop is "thinking of you-girls" and if you have been following my blog the last few weeks, you know that I have been featuring some of my favorite retiring product that maybe I have not shown all the LOVE they have deserved over the past (catalog) year. Today I am using the retiring Pretty Perennials Stamp Set (retires June 30) and the 2020-22 In Color Designer Series Paper (retires May 3).

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Magenta Madness cardstock. (Personal note: This color is really growing on me!) The second layer is the 2020-22 In Color 6" X 6" DSP (dots side) cut 4" x 5 1/4". The reverse of the 3/4" wide scrap of the DSP provides some additional dimension behind the main image.

The super cute flowers are stamped in alternating Misty Moonlight and second generation Magenta Madness; the stems and leaves are stamped in Just Jade on Basic White cardstock and trimmed with the largest rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

The sentiment is stamped in Magenta Madness and the "happy" sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Black, then fussy cut and raised up on mini dimensionals (it may be hard to see this dimension in the picture).

This is a fairly simple card highlighting second generation stamping technique, masking, and fussy cutting.

So, now it is time to check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Julia Mazur.

Accessories/Tools:

NOTE: I have been ultra-conservative in my projects during these extraordinary times as so many of my customers do not have a die cutting machine so I always offer an alternative idea for any die used in my projects. 

Although I did not use the coordinating Perennial Petals Dies • Item# 154321 on this card, I did use the largest rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies • Item# 151690 so alternatively you could use a piece of Basic White cardstock, cut 3" x 4".

Don't forget to add your favorite adhesive and a new pair of paper snips for super easy fussy cutting. I recommend the new Stampin' Seal • Item# 152813 and Paper Snips • Item# 103579.

Simple Stamping Challenge Featuring Under My Umbrella Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. As you know, many of my cards this month will feature retiring stamp sets. Today I am using the Under My Umbrella. Unbelievably, this is the first time I have cracked this stamp set open! April Simple Stamping Challenge is to create a card with stamps, ink and paper using retiring product. This is a layer card with a ribbon detail (so it may not qualify as simple stamping), but I think it is perfect!

#simplestamping

The card base is a Basic White note card (folded, 5" x 3 1/2"). The first layer is Misty Moonlight cardstock cut 4 3/4" x 3". The second layer is Basic White cut 4 1/2" x 2 3/4." The images and sentiment are stamped in Bumblebee and Misty Moonlight. So simple.

Give the #simplestamping challenge a try!

Simple Stamping Challenge Featuring Pretty Perennials Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. Many of my cards this month will feature retiring stamp sets that I have not shown all the love that they have deserved over the past year. The April Simple Stamping Challenge is to create a card with stamps, ink and paper using retiring product so today's super cute and super simple card is perfect.

#simplestamping

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Flirty Flamingo cardstock. The first layer is Pear Pizzazz cardstock cut 4" x 5 1/4". The second layer is Basic White cut 3 3/8" x 5" and I created my own pattern paper. I randomly stamped flowers and leaf images from the Pretty Perennials Stamp Set in Bumblebee, Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, and Pear Pizzazz. The sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Give the #simplestamping challenge a try! And, give a go at creating your own pattern paper.
