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 - Give Thanks Distress Oxide Inks Smooshing Technique and Tutorial

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  This was the last full week before school starts back up and gosh it seems like it just flew by.  Actually the summer seems like it went by really fast.  Our youngest is going to be a Junior this year---they grow up so fast!!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I have a card to share with you using the ink smooshing technique with Distress Oxide Inks.

Here is a look at the card I designed.  I used two of the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps set Give Thanks SS-009 and Harvest SS-010 for my card.

To start, I smooshed the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks - Fired Brick, Peeled Paint, Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo onto the Ranger Craft Mat.  Then I used the Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer to add water to the inks.  Next, I took a piece of Ranger Watercolor paper and smooshed it into the ink.  I used a heat tool to dry and heat set the inks.  I repeated the process until I achieved a look I liked.

Here is a look at the paper once all of the color was added.

Next, I wanted to heat emboss so I prepped the paper with the EK Success Powder Tool.  Then, I randomly stamped the leaf images from both of the stamp sets using VersaMark Ink.  I added Ranger Super Fine Detailed Gold Embossing Powder and used a heat tool to melt and heat set the powder.

I wanted to fade the background so the leaves would be the main focus of the card.  I took a paint brush and water and added water to the background and then used a paper towel to blot up the water.  Doing this removed some of the color.  I worked in small areas and repeated the process 2-3 times until I like the look of the background.

Here is a look at the paper after removing some of the background color.  The leaves are a little darker in color and you could stop here if you wanted to.  But I knew if I added Ranger Glossy Accents to the leaves it would pull the color forward and really make the colors in the leaves pop.

It's amazing what some glossy accents can do!  I love how these leaves look!  

I heat embossed the sentiment from the Give Thanks SS-009 stamp set onto a strip of brown paper and then I added Foam Tape to the back.  The card base is a kraft A2 top folding card with a brown mat. 

To finish off the card I added a few Prima Say It In Crystals Amber Moon.  The colors match perfectly and I love the added sparkle.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed today's card share and tutorial.  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.

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!

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 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 - Seek and You Will Find Card

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have a fun all occasions card to share with you using the  Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Farmhouse Scripture Quotes and some of the beautiful papers from the Graphic 45 Sun Kissed collection.

Here is a look at the card I designed.  I love the ocean and beach themed papers in this collection.  I thought this sea turtle paper worked perfectly with the sentiment. 

I wanted to add a little something to the pattern paper for some interest but I didn't want it to take away from the images.  I decided to stencil over the paper except for the area with the turtle in the middle of the paper.  I wanted this to be very subtle so I used the Delicata White Shimmer Pigment Ink along with the Tim Holtz Splash Layering Stencil.  The Delicata inks are great for techniques like this because they add just a little bit of shimmer.

Here is a close up of the stenciling.  I also added Ranger Super Fine Embossing Powder - Clear and used my heat tool to melt and heat set the powders.  Do this added some shimmer and texture to the paper and it's kind of a fun surprise to see when you move the card around and the light hits it.

I added some Glossy Accents to the turtle so he would stand out just a little more.

Here is another close up and you can see I added a little more glossy accents to the tiny white bubbles.

I stamped one of the sentiments from the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Farmhouse Scripture Quotes SS-026 set with VersaMark Ink onto black cardstock and then I added Ranger Super Fine Embossing Powder - White.  I used my heat tool to melt and heat set the embossing powder.  I love the white embossing on the black cardstock.  The card base is a black A2 top folding card.  I added some  Foam Tape in between the paper layers and to finish off the card I added a few Prima Say It In Crystals Zella Teal.  I love these crystals!  They are so sparkly.

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.

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!
