Simple Stamping Challenge Featuring Timeless Tulips Stamp Set
![]() |
| #simplestamping |
The DSP strip is from the 2020-22 In Color DSP Assortment, cut 3/4" x 4". Actually, the DSP is a scrap from my swaps for next month's Stampin' Up convention, held via Zoom, but the piece is a perfect fit and perfectly fulfills the challenge!
Give the #simplestamping challenge a try!
Stamp On!!

Quick and Easy Handmade Card Featuring Timeless Tulips Stamp Set and Tulip Builder Punch
Wednesday, February 24, 2021
Quick and Easy Handmade Card Featuring Pattern Play Stamp Set
The card base is a side fold A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Misty Moonlight. The mat is a 2 1/4" strip of a pretty pattern sheet from the Playing with Patterns 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, and a second 2 1/4" strip of the Misty Moonlight pattern sheet from the 2020-22 In Color Designer Series Paper Assortment. I covered the seam between the two different sheets of DSP with a 1" strip of Night of Navy. The "HBD" initials were cut using the Playful Alphabet Dies, and a second set of "HBD" initials were cut from a scrap of Pool Party cardstock - inlaid to create this fun element.
The sentiment is from the Pattern Play Stamp Set and I used the "sparkle" images in Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay in the background to coordinate with the pattern sheet.
This second card, based on my original card design in Crushed Curry, was the card that we made in the monthly FaceBook LIVE workshop. Since I sent out kits to everyone, I kept it simple, but it turned out so cute.
There are only a few more days of Sale-A-Bration. I would appreciate it if you would place your order using the February host code (below or on the sidebar). Any orders this month will receive the card kits for next month's workshop. PLEASE MAKE A NOTE: Normally, the workshops are the third Saturday of the month, but I need to move next month's workshop to March 27.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I hope my project has inspired your creativity. 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.
Stamp On!!

Quick and Easy Handmade Card Featuring Pattern Play Stamp Set
Hello, my crafty friends. While playing with some stamps out on the craft table this weekend, I thought well maybe we should continue making cards using the Playing with Patterns Suite (AC pp. 100-102). I am not certain if this card qualifies for Simple Stamping status as it uses the coordinating Playful Alphabet Dies, but it was super easy and quick to put together.
The card base is a side fold A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Crushed Curry cardstock. The mat is a pretty pattern sheet from the Playing with Patterns 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (cut 4" x 5 1/4" in a landscape format). I used the Playful Alphabet Dies for the "HBD" initials -- which for those of you unsure, this is an abbreviation used in social media for Happy Birthday!! I cut a set of "HBD" from a scrap of Calypso Coral and inlaid to create this fun element.
My sentiment is from the Pattern Play Stamp Set and I popped up the two small inset words to add some detail. I also added two 1/4" strips of coordinating cardstock to create sections.
We will be using the Pattern Play SS to make a couple of cards at the February workshop (Sat. Feb. 20). It will be a Facebook Live this month. As always I recommend purchasing the coordinating dies, Playful Alphabet, to take advantage of the 10% discount pricing, however, I will not be using the dies during our virtual workshop to prevent excluding those crafty fans that do not have a die cut machine yet -- but you really should consider purchasing the new Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (there is even a mini version!).
Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I hope my project has inspired your creativity. 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.
