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!

Much love, hugs, and blessings,

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Amazing Grace Card with Stenciling

Hello and happy Friday to everyone!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have a card to share with you using the Tim Holtz Layering Stencil - Splash and some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks.

Now I know the stencil is supposed to look like splashes and it does but it also reminds me of flower petals when the stencil is put on the side.  It reminds me of chrysanthemum flowers.  I taped the stencil in place with some low tack tape and then I used the mini blending tools with three of the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks - Broken China, Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon.  I know it's a bit hard to see the different colors in the photos and I am sorry about that.  I don't know if it was the lighting or what but it kind of looks like it's all the same color in the photos but in real life you can see the three colors on the card lol.  I started with broken china at the top, salty ocean in the middle and then mermaid lagoon is on the bottom.

For the sentiment I used one of the stamps from the  Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Farmhouse Scriptural Thoughts SS-025 stamp set.  To get the two different colors of ink I used the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform and I masked part of the stamp with some paper and inked it up with salty ocean ink.  I removed the paper and stamped the sentiment.  Then, I repeated the process by covering up the other part of the sentiment and inking it with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  The stamp platform works perfectly for doing the two tone stamping.  Then I added some May Arts 5/8" Adhesive Rosettes - Black ribbon across the front of the card.  I also added some Petaloo Botanica Colections Baby Blooms Blue, Baby Blooms Teal and for a bit of sparkle I added a few Prima Say It With Crystals Zella Teal.

I used Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L Foam Tape in between the cardstock layers and that finished off the card.  The card base is a white A2 top folding card.

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.

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 - Fairie Dust Card

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  Today is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I have a beautiful fairy card to share with you using some of the gorgeous papers from the Graphic 45 Fairie Dust Collection.

Check out these papers!  I have to say I love fairies and I am in love with this paper collection!  I layered a couple of the papers and cut part of a border from one.  The main image is a cut out from the paper pad as well.  I added Foam Tape behind the image to add a little dimension.  Next, I added some 1/4" Variegated Silk Ribbon by May Arts and White Venise Lace and made a bow with the ribbon.  I added some Petaloo Botanica Collection Fuchsia, Purple, Teal flowers to the center of the bow.  For a little bit of sparkle I added some Prima Say It In Crystals Zella Teal.  These crystals are so pretty and full of sparkle.

I just love this color combination!  The ribbon and flowers match the paper perfectly.

All of the paper layers were adhered to a white A2 top folding card base.

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 - Spring Summer 2018 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hello and good morning to everyone!  Today, I have a card to share with you that I designed for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  But I am also participating in the Spring Summer 2018 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop so my card goes along with the summertime theme for the hop.  

Anyone can participate in the Spring Summer 2018 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and there are loads of wonderful prizes too!  You can click HERE to find out all of the details and join in the fun.

Flowers always make me think of summertime.  Here is the card I designed for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I used some of the beautiful pattern papers from the Graphic 45 Fairie Dust 8 x 8 Paper Pad.  To die cut the coffee cup I used the Stamp Simply Steel Dies - Coffee or Tea? SS-DIE011 and a piece of the pretty floral pattern paper and also Bazzill Gold Mirror Cardstock.  I wanted the cup to have some gold accents.  I die cut both the cup and the handle with the gold mirror cardstock.  Then I cut the cup die cut in half and offset it with the floral die cut cup so the top and bottom edges would be accented with gold.

Here you can see a close up of the coffee cup.  I added Foam Tape to the backside of the cup for some added dimension.  I added some  Petaloo Botanica Collection - Baby Blooms Purple and Minis Coral for embellishments.

For the sentiment I die cut the word coffee from black card stock three times and then layered the die cuts.  Using VersaMark Ink I stamped the sentiment from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Coffee or Tea? SS-023 on to a piece of black card stock and then heat embossed it using Ranger Super Fine White Embossing Powder and my heat tool.  I fussy cut the fishtail end and added some foam tape to pop the sentiment up.  I also added another flower by the sentiment.

I knew I wanted to use the beautiful pattern paper with the violets for the background.  But I wanted to soften it a bit so the coffee cup would still stand out and not get lost in the background paper so I added a piece of Vellum as a top layer.  I love how you can still see the pattern paper but it really softened the look.  I used a white A2 top folding card base for this card.

Sharon, is having a sale over at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store on ALL items in the Coffee/Tea section so if you're looking for some new goodies I encourage you to check it out.  If you would like to see more card inspiration be sure to visit The Stamp Simply Blog.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day and holiday weekend!

Heidi

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 - 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 - Baby It's Cold Outside Christmas Card

Hello everyone and happy December 1st!  Gosh, it just doesn't seem like December at all lol.  The weather has been so beautiful here in southern Minnesota the past few weeks.  Today, I have a fun Christmas card to share with you.

I didn't think about the sentiment on the card until after the card was made.  Kind of funny since it's been unusually warm here lol.  But I know the cold it coming!  Isn't this paper darling?  The collection is from Simple Stories - Winter Wonderland 6 x 6 paper pad.  I love that so many companies have paper collections with sentiments and cutouts.  It makes card creating so quick and easy.  If you are a beginner or have been paper crafting for years I think we can all appreciate being able to whip up some cards easy peasy.

Here is a close up of one of the corner clusters.  For each corner I used a snowflake from the May Arts Satin Jumbo Silver Snowflakes - By the Yard ribbon.  This is a fun ribbon but the snowflakes are also great to cut apart and use as embellishments.  I added a Petaloo Botanica Minis Teal Flower in the center of the snow flake.  Then, I applied Ranger Glossy Accents on the flower and sprinkled on some Ranger Distress Stickles Clear Rock Candy for some sparkle.  I love the clear rock candy on flowers!  Next, I added a few sequins.  I used the 5mm Silver Sequins and 5mm Iridescent White.  If you look close at the white sequins even though they are the iridescent ones they appear to be just white.  I wanted to add some white sequins but didn't really want the iridescent look for this card and I noticed these sequins are an opaque white on the backside.  So why not run with that--I flipped them over and glued them down.  They still look great and more bang for your buck--gotta love that!

Here is a close up of the sentiment.  It was hard to get a picture of but this card is filled with tons of shimmer IRL.  I used the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen on the sentiment and all of the floral and leaf images on the pattern paper.

Here is a close up of the bottom part of the card.  You can click on the image to enlarge it and see some of the shimmer.  All the sparkle and shimmer from the Wink of Stella pen never gets old and I especially love it on Christmas cards.

I added some Foam Tape behind the sentiment and then the card front was added to a snow cone A2 top folding card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed today's card share.  If you would like to see more card inspiration I encourage you to check out the Stamp Simply Blog.

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.
