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 - 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 - Best Wishes to the Graduate Card

Hello and good morning to everyone!  This past week seems like it just flew by.  Here where we live the kids only have one week of school left.  Where did the year go?  Can't believe our youngest will be a junior next year!  The graduation open houses are starting right away next weekend so I am trying to get graduation cards done so they will be ready to go.

This isn't a traditional looking graduation card but I love how it turned out.  I used some of the beautiful papers from the  Kaisercraft - Wandering Ivy collection.  I just love these papers!  The images are so pretty and Kaiseercraft never disappoints.  

For the sentiment I used one of the tags from the back of the paper pad.  It originally said -- Best Wishes to You.  I wanted to cover up the -- to You part on the tag and add To the Graduate so I created a banner.  I used a piece of black cardstock and prepped it with the EK Success Powder Tool.  Then I stamped the sentiment from the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Scripture for Graduation & Beyond SS-028 stamp set using VersaMark Ink.  Next, I applied Ranger Super Fine Embossing Powder - White and used my heat tool to melt and heat set the powder.  I fussy cut fishtail ends on the strip of cardstock to create the banner.  I added some beautiful May Arts 1.5" Sheer Flower w/Pearl Center - Blue ribbon around the card and then I added the tag and banner on top.  I added Foam Tape to both the tag and banner to add some dimension to the card.  To finish off the card I added some Prima Flowers - Serenade Blue and some My Mind's Eye Blue Enamel Dots.

I adhered all of the layers to a white A2 top folding card base and that finished off the card.  This paper collection is full of tags and other cut outs that are similar to the one I used on my card and can very easily be changed up by creating a banner sentiment to go along with them.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed the card share!  All of the supplies 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 inspiration from the design team I encourage you to visit the Stamp Simply Blog.

I hope you have a wonderful day and happy Friday!

Hugs, love and blessings,

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Wishing You All The Best Card

Hello everyone and Happy Friday!  I hope you have all been having a wonderful week.  I am excited for this weekend--it's going to be in the 70s here.  :)  I had the windows open the other day and the nice warm fresh air felt so good.  Today, I have a card to share with you using another new stamp set from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store April Release.

Here is a look at the card I designed.  I used one of the sentiments from the All Occasion Sentiments Set 1 SS-030 stamp set.  Did you know there are now 30 wonderful stamp sets in the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps Collection?  All of the holidays and special occasions are covered and the stamp sets are filled with so many beautiful sentiments and Scriptures.  For my card I used some really pretty papers and die cuts from the  Kasiercraft - Miss Betty 6-1/2'' Paper Pad and Miss Betty Collectibles Die Cuts.  I love this collection!

I wanted to heat emboss the sentiment so I prepped the paper with the EK Success Powder Tool.  Then, I stamped the sentiment using the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform and VersaMark ink on to one of the die cuts.  I added Ranger Super Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder and used a heat tool to melt and heat set the powder.  Next, I used a Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool along with the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink - Antique Linen and very lightly inked the edges of the die cut piece and the pattern paper.

Then, I lightly inked the edges of the flowers and butterfly die cuts using the Delicata - Golden Glitz ink.  I love the hint of golden shimmer this ink leaves on the paper.

I used the Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen to color in the rose image on the die cut.

Once I had all of the inking and shimmer added then it was time to assemble the card and it came together really quick.  I layered the couple pieces of pattern paper and then added the rose card die cut to the center.  I used Foam Tape to adhere all of the die cuts and add some dimension to the card.

The gold embossing and soft pink are so pretty on this card.

Here you can see some of the shimmer from the gold ink.

Everything was adhered to a ivory A2 top folding card base.  Then, for one last little bit of sparkle and to finish off the card I added a few Prima Say It In Crystals Heaven Sent.  These crystals are gorgeous and full of sparkle!

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,

Heidi

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

     Hello everyone!  How's your week been?  Have you been busy crafting and creating?  My week seems like it just flew by.  I have been working on a lot of projects with resin ranging from jewelry to abstract art.  I promise I will be sharing some pictures soon.  :)  As I mentioned in a previous post we are doing some renovations to our house so we have been busy with that too.  We need to have some work done in our basement and the company came out today to look at it and give us an estimate.  I am happy to say they will be starting the work in May.  We are pretty excited to get going on this project.  I have also been trying to squeeze in some paper crafting time and working on getting back in the swing of things.  I am back to doing my regular Friday posts for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store so I have a card to share with you today.  Before I share my card I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has left comments, IM's and emails for my life updates post.  If you missed it you can click HERE to read it.  I truly appreciate all of your kind words, prayers, encouragement and support and also for the stories you have shared with me.  I am happy to say the ointment I talked about for the fibro pain is still working!  I still have pain but the level of pain is so much lower.  :)

     Here is a look at the card I designed for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I used one of the newer Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Farmhouse Signage.  I am really loving all of the farmhouse decor I am seeing in the stores these days.  It's very simplistic, fresh, pretty, rustic and sometimes a little industrial.  I'm really leaning to redo our kitchen in the farmhouse style when the time comes to start working on it.  The pattern papers I used are from the Kaisercraft - Sea Breeze collection.  I love the aqua blue tones in the paper pad!  I layered three different patterns of paper and I even did the stamping on the pattern paper.  

     For the stamping I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink - Walnut Stain.  The oxide inks are so great for stamping especially with clear stamps.  I actually used a total of four stamps to create the images and sentiment.  I used the Tm Holtz Stamp Platform to line up all of the images for perfect placement.  Then I added some Seam Binding Fig Beige  and tied a simple bow.  To finish off the card I added a few Simple Stories - I Am Enamel Dots.

     I created an A2 top folding card base with a piece of kraft cardstock.  I hope you enjoyed today's card share!  This would be a great card to make multiples of and you could change out the animal images.  It's such a quick and easy card to create.  All of the supplies are listed and linked below and can be found 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.

     Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!  We are supposed to be getting even more snow!!  I can't believe it!  Wondering if Spring will ever come lol.

Love, hugs, and blessings,

Heidi

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Farmhouse Signage Collection - Choose Joy Card

Good morning and happy Friday!  Today, I have a card to share with you using a couple of the NEW releases from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store Farmhouse Signage Collection.  I love the decorating style and all of the home decor with the Farmhouse style so I was really excited to see this collection.  This style always seems so fresh and clean to me with a very slight vintage feel at times. 

Here is the card I designed using the  Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Farmhouse Simple Sentiments SS-024 and Farmhouse Signage SS-027.  The sentiments are fantastic in the new sets and I love the font.  I used a few different sheets of pattern paper from the  Kaisercraft - Sea Breeze collection.

I used a piece of the paper that has the look of white washed boards to stamp the sentiment on.  To make sure I had perfect placement I used the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp the sentiment.  I used Espresso Truffle ink.

I used the largest heart die from the Farmhouse Pierced Nested Hearts SS-DIE013 die set to cut the heart shape. Then I stamped the little leafy twigs using  Altenew Sea Shore (4 pack) - Lagoon ink.  To finish off the heart I inked the outer edges with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink - Vintage Photo.  To get the nice smooth blend I used one of the  Mini Ink Blending Tools and the Craft Mat .

Here is a look at how I laid out the pattern papers for the card front.  I also added some fig beige seam binding around the middle of the card.

Here is a close up of the heart and sentiment.  I also used a piece of the pattern paper and one of the dies from the Farmhouse Signage SS-DIE012 set to die cut the arrow and added it above the sentiment.  I added a few  Melissa Frances White Pearls for embellishments.

Here is a close up of the bow and I added one of the Petaloo Botanica Collection Teal Minis to the center of the bow.

Here is another look at the finished card.  I used a white A2 top folding card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed the card share.  All of the supplies 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 inspiration using the New releases I encourage you to check out the Stamp Simply Blog.

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.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed the card share.  If you would like to see more card inspiration I encourage you to take a look at the Stamp Simply Blog.  All of the supplies are listed and linked below and can be found at
