The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Farmhouse Christmas 4 x 4 Note Card Set

Hello everyone!  I am really excited to share a mini release with all of you from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  It's  just two stamp sets but they are a wonderful addition to the already very popular Farmhouse Series.  We are introducing Farmhouse Christmas and Farmhouse All Occasion Greetings.  Today I have a set of four Christmas note cards using the Farmhouse Christmas Stamp Set.

Here is a look at the Christmas note cards I made.  These are quick and easy note cards to create and they are perfect to send to someone or tuck in with a gift.  I used Kaisercraft Christmas Edition for the pattern paper.  Then I stamped the images and sentiments from the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Farmhouse Christmas SS-035 with VersaMark and heat embossed with Ranger Super Fine Detail Silver Embossing Powder.  I used a white 4 x 4 top folding card base and layered it with a deep red and wood grain pattern paper and then adhered the main stamped panel.  To finish off the cards I added a few red Prima Sugardot Stickers.  Now, I will say it was a little hard to photograph the cards with the silver embossing on the black and white pattern paper but in real life the silver embossing is so pretty on these little note cards.

All of the supplies to create the note cards are listed and linked below and can also be found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I encourage you to check out the Stamp Simply Blog to see more beautiful card designs using the NEW stamps from the Farmhouse collection.

Thanks so much for joining me today and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Much love, hugs, and blessings,

Heidi

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Just a Note Farmhouse Signage CAS Card

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  Gosh, now that school is back in full swing this week seems like it just flew by.  Today, I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) card to share with you that I think might be a record for how quickly it came together.  But it has a very fresh and clean look to it and I love it!

Here is a look at the card I designed.  I love the leaf images from the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Farmhouse Signage SS-027 stamp set.  

I used two colors of the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks - Peeled Paint and Twisted Citron to stamp the leaves into a wreath shape.  Then I stamped the sentiment in the center with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink - Walnut Stain ink.  To finish off the card I added a few  My Mind's Eye Record It Charmed Enamel Dots and a Petaloo Botanica Collection Baby Blooms White flower.

The card came together so quickly I forgot to take a picture when I was making it.   But to speed up the time for creating the wreath and help give me a guide for a nice circle shape I cut out a circle from scrap paper and then stamped the leaves around the outer edge.

Like I said, record time!  This would be a great card to create multiples of.  The card base is a A2 kraft top folding card with a layer of green added to bring out the green in the wreath.

I hope you enjoyed today's CAS card share.  All of the supplies used are listed and linked below and can also be found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  If you would like to see more care inspiration I encourage you to check out the Stamp Simply Blog.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - G45 You are My Sunshine Card

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  This week seems like it just kind of flew by.  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) card to share with you.

For my card I used some of the beautiful papers from the Graphic45 Sun Kissed 8 x 8 Collection.  I just love the sweet image of the little girl at the beach.  I know sometimes people can be scared to use the G45 papers because the patterns are so pretty and they don't want to cut into the paper.  But I always say let the paper do the work for you.  Cut the paper!  You will be so happy you did lol.  The paper collections are filled with so many wonderful patterns and beautiful images it makes creating cards a breeze.  This is a very CAS card and it came together in just a few minutes.  

Here is a close up of the little girl image.  I layered another piece of pattern paper behind the image and used some Foam Tape to pop it up and add some dimension.  

I used another piece of pattern paper for the sentiment on the card and I also added some foam tape to this piece.

I picked out yet another piece of the pattern paper and used it for the background on the card.  I adhered everything to the front of a white A2 top folding card base.  To finish off the card I added a few Prima Say It In Crystals Zella Teal pieces.  I love the added sparkle from these crystals.

Thanks so much for joining me today!  I hope you enjoyed the card share.  All of the supplies used to create this card are listed and linked below in the supply list and can also be found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  To see more card inspiration I encourage you to check out the Stamp Simply Blog.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Much love, hugs, and blessings,

Heidi

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Blessed to be Your Friend Card

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) card to share with you using some of the beautiful papers from the Kaisercraft Miss Betty Collection.  

Check out these papers!  They are so pretty and layer together perfectly.  I used a couple pieces of the pattern paper and layered them onto the card front.  Then I added some of the die cuts from the Kaisercraft Collectables Miss Betty collection.  I added Foam Tape in between the layers to add some dimension.  Then I added a few Petaloo Botanica Collection Pink Minis and Prima Say It In Crystals Heaven Sent and the card was pretty much finished.  Totally CAS!  It's always so nice to work with a paper collection and the die cuts and be able to create a quick card when needed.

Here is a close up of the sentiment and embellishments.  I love all of the sparkle from the crystals!

The card base is a white A2 top folding card.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Cottage Rose Happy Birthday Card CAS

Hello everyone!  Today I have a CAS (Clean and Simple) card to share with you using some of the beautiful papers from the Kaisercraft Cottage Rose collection and one of the sentiments from the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - All Occasions Sentiments SET 1.

I truly believe having beautiful papers to work with is one of the keys to CAS cards.  It just makes it so much easier.  I used three of the pattern papers from the collection and layered them.  Then I took a strip of black cardstock and stamped one of the sentiments from the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - All Occasions Sentiments SET 1 with VersaMark.  I heat embossed it using  Ranger Super Fine Embossing Powder - White.  I added some Foam Tape behind the sentiment to pop it up.

I tied a bow onto the end of the sentiment strip with some Baby Pink Seam Binding and added a Prima Shabby Chic Treasures - Tassel.  To finish off the card I added a few Prima Say It In Crystals Heaven Sent and Petaloo Botanica Collection Pink Minis.

The card base is a black A2 top folding card.  Thanks so much for joining me today!  I hope you enjoyed this CAS card.  All of the supplies used are listed and linked below and can be found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  If you would like to see more card inspiration please be sure to check out the Stamp Simply Blog.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - CAS Wandering Ivy Happy Birthday Card

Hello everyone!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) card to share with you using some of the beautiful papers from the KaiserCraft - Wandering Ivy Collection.  

Here is the card I deigned.  One of the things I love about the Kaisercraft collections is that the paper pads are filled with decorative punch outs such as sentiments. tags, and other decorative elements.  I used three of the pattern papers in the collection along with a scalloped border.  I also add a few die cut flourish pieces from the KaiserCraft Wandering Ivy Collectables Die Cut Shapes to accent the flowers.

Here is a close up of the flower and flourish cluster.  I added some Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen on top of the die cut pieces and also the floral image in the top left corner.

I used the Tim Holtz Travel Stamp Platform to stamp the sentiment in the bottom right corner on to the pattern paper.  I have to say I am really loving this smaller version of the stamp platform.  It fits on my desk so much nicer and is great to use for making cards.

To finish off the card I added some Petaloo Botanica Collection Blue Baby Blooms and Darice 5mm Crystal Cup Sequins.  For the card base I used a white A2 side folding card.

Thanks so much for joining me today!  I hope you enjoyed today's card share.  This is a quick and easy card and it could be changed up for different occasions by simply changing the sentiment.  All of the supplies are listed and linked below and can also be found over at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  If you would like to see more card inspiration I encourage you to check out the Stamp Simply Blog.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - CAS For the Graduate Card - Wedding Anniversary

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  This week just seems like it kind of flew by.  It's still not Spring here in Minnesota.  Can't believe it but we got more snow this week and the kids even had a snow day!  The second snow day in the month of April.  BUT it's supposed to start warming up next week.  Keeping my fingers crossed!  Today, I have another graduation card to share with you using one of the new stamp sets from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store April release.

Today's card is very CAS (Clean And Simple) but that's a good thing.  As the end of the school year approaches and the weather warms up I know people's schedules get even busier.   So being able to create CAS cards is a must for a lot of people.  The beautiful papers are from the Kaisercraft - Cottage Rose collection.  I layered a couple of the pattern papers and then stamped a sentiment from the  Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Scripture for Graduate & Beyond SS-028 stamp set in the upper left corner.  I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the sentiment.  

Next, I layered some Venise Lace 1.75" - Gabriella White and 1/4'' Rose Ringlet Trim across the front of the card.  For embellishments I added a few Petaloo - Botanica Collection Baby Blooms White flowers.

To finish off the card and add some dimension I added Foam Tape behind the layers of pattern paper and that finished the card.  The card base is a white A2 side folding landscape card.

I hope you enjoyed today's card share.  The Kaisercraft - Cottage Rose paper pad is filled with so many beautiful papers that make creating CAS cards a breeze.  All of the products used to create the card are listed and linked below and can be found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  If you would like to see more card designs and inspiration I encourage you to check out the Stamp Simply Blog.

Before I go I want to wish my husband, Eric a very Happy Anniversary!  Today, is our wedding anniversary and we've been married for 16 years.  Where has all the time gone?  It seems like just yesterday we were young and dating lol.  I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful, caring, loving, and supportive husband! 

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Much love, hugs, and blessings,

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - A Friend Like You CAS Card

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  Did you all have a Happy New Year?  Ours was pretty low key.  My husband ended up getting food poisoning a couple days before and he still wasn't feeling the best so we just stayed home.  Our youngest son had his girlfriend Lydia over so we just hung out watched some tv and had some snacks.  Like I said pretty low key--but that's ok.   

I'm looking forward to 2018 and hopefully it's better than 2017.  Thank you so much to all of my new subscribers from the Seasons Giving Blog Hop!  If you haven't left a comment on that post there is still time and I am giving away a $30 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp so I encourage you to check that out.  You can click HERE to see the post.  I asked what everyone would like to see on my blog in 2018 and watercolor came in number one!  Backgrounds, tutorials, cards and jewelry were all in the top running too.  So I will be working on some upcoming projects with watercolor to share with all of you.

If you are new to my blog I post every Friday for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  For the most part I post cards and they range from CAS (Clean And Simple) to tutorials with watercolor or ink blending backgrounds.

For today's card I went with CAS.  This card could be used as a thinking of you card but also for Valentine's.  The paper collection is from Kaisercraft - Cottage Rose.  I layered a couple pieces of the pattern paper and then added a bow down the center with May Arts Sheer with Gold Glitter ribbon.  This is some of my favorite ribbon.  It's sheer so you can still see the beautiful papers but adds just enough sparkle with the glitter.

The tag is a cut out from the same paper collection and I thought it had such a sweet sentiment.  I added a piece of white cardstock behind the tag and trimmed it to leave a nice crisp white edge around the tag.  I added some Foam Tape to the back of the tag and also a small touch of hot glue to adhere it to the card front and placed it right under the bow.  To finish off the tag I added a  Petaloo Botanica Collection Pink Minis flower to the top of the tag.

I added more foam tape to the card front and then placed that on a white A2 top folding card base.  The paper collection is filled with cut outs so you would be able to create several CAS cards.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - We Wish You A Merry Christmas Card

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  I can't believe Christmas is this weekend?  Do you have all of your shopping and gift wrapping done?  I wish I could say yes to that question but unfortunately the answer is no.  I've been a bit under the weather so we are a little behind with our shopping and gift wrapping.  But I'm not going to stress about it because somehow everything that needs to get done always does. :) So today, I have my last Christmas card to share with you.

I know it's getting down to the wire for making Christmas cards so I wanted to keep it CAS (Clean And Simple).  I love using paper collections that have lots of cut aparts for CAS cards.  The Doodlebug - Milk and Cookies collection has several cut aparts that are perfect for CAS cards.  I used the cute image of the Santa and then I backed it with a piece of white cardstock and added some Foam Tape to the back side for some added dimension.  Then I used another piece of the pattern paper for a mat on the card base.  I added the image of the Santa and then I cut one of the sentiment strips from the same paper collection.  I fussy cut banner ends on the sentiment strip.  Then I added some more Foam Tape to one side of the banner and EZ Runner to the other side.  Doing this pops up the sentiment strip to match the Santa image.  Next, I added some  May Arts - Red Wrinkled Edge Sheer Ribbon around the bottom of the card and tied it in a simple knot.

Here is a close up of the cute little Santa image.  Cut aparts like this make for very quick CAS cards.

I love the pattern paper in the background with all of the candy.  Especially the ribbon candy--it reminds me of Christmas when I was little.  I added Ranger - Glossy Accents to the candy cane Santa is holding on to and all of the candy canes on the pattern paper.  Doing this adds a fun texture element to the card.

For this card I used a piece of red cardstock to create a A2 top folding card base.  I hope you enjoyed this CAS card for today.

I'm not sure if I will be doing another blog post before Christmas or not.  If not I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!!

I hope you have a wonderful time with your family and friends.  Good times creating beautiful memories but most important of all remembering the true meaning of Christmas.

Much love and blessing,

Heidi

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Just Believe CAS Christmas Card

Hello and happy Friday!  I can't believe how fast this month has just flown by.  Next week it will be Thanksgiving here in the States.  Now is the time to be working on Christmas cards before all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season sets in.  Today, I have a very CAS (Clean And Simple) Christmas card to share with you using some of the beautiful papers from Kaisercraft.

Here is a look at the card I designed.  Now I have good news and bad news.  The bad new is that the Christmas Jewel Collection is sold out--I'm very sorry!  But the good news is all of the Kaisercraft Collections have such a beautiful assortment of papers, cut apart images, and sentiments you could very easily recreate this card with any of the other collections.  With a few layers of paper, a little foam tape and some Petaloo Baby Blooms Purple flowers this card came together in a matter of minutes.

Here is a close up of the sentiment and flowers.  You can also see the pretty foil detail on the paper.  A lot of the Kaisercraft Collections include foiling and sometimes embossed papers too.

To finish the card I added the layered card front panel to a white A2 top folding card base.

Thank you so much for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed this CAS Christmas card.  If you would like to see more card inspiration I encourage you to visit the Stamp Simply Blog.  All of the supplies to create the card are listed and linked below and can be found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Happy creating!

The Stamp Simply Store - Harvest Meadow Thanksgiving Card

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) Fall card to share with you using one of the Stamp Simply Clear Stamp sets and the beautiful papers from the Wild Rose Studio - Harvest Meadow collection.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stamp Simply Clear Stamp - Give Thanks SS-009 stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on to a small piece of paper from the collection.  Then I layered it with another piece of the paper in a reddish orange color.  I used that same paper for a layered mat on the card.  For the card front I used a beautiful pattern paper with some wildflowers.  I added some Foam Tape behind the sentiment for some dimension.

Next, I added some May Arts 3/8" Solid Two Tone Copper ribbon with a bow down the left side of the card.  To finish off the card I added some Petaloo Botanica Collection - Red Minis and Peach Minis.

The card base is an ivory A2 top folding card.  This is another paper collection that would be great to make multiple CAS cards.  If you like the card design but would rather not have the bulk from the bow and flowers for mailing you could just have a strip of the ribbon on the side and maybe add some enamel dots or sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  If you would like to see more card inspiration from the design team I encourage you to check out the Stamp Simply Blog.  All of the supplies used to create the card are listed and linked below and can be found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

Happy Crafting!
