Sometimes the Simplest Things. . .

So this month I featured stamps that are all being retired. If you like them you had better go check out the "LAST CHANCE" section on my website to shop for them before they are gone. The Seaside Wishes Bundle is one I am NOT willing to part with. I absolutely love it!

SOMETIMES THE SIMPLEST THINGS. . .

AGING FINE LIKE CHEESE & WINE

I didn't include the colors of the stampin' blends used allowing for your own creative artistry to come through. Also, the ribbon used was retired a while back. Use any ribbon you have on hand.

AGING FINE LIKE CHEESE & WINE

CREATED BY LAURYN WATSON

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

Adhere the (4” x 5 1/4”) piece of DSP to your card front.
Run the (3 1/2” x 5”) piece of white cardstock through the die cut machine to get the border.
Stamp image and sentiment. Use the Stampin’ Blends® to color in your image.
Wrap the wider piece of ribbon around the cardstock between the image and the sentiment, adhering on the back.
Tie the thin strip of ribbon around the thicker piece tying in a simple knot.
Adhere this to your card front using dimensionals.
Stamp the inside sentiment on the (4” x 5 1/4”) piece of white cardstock and adhere to the inside of your card.
(Optional) I brought the Basic Border Die out of retirement to die cut the envelope flap.

HAPPY EASTER

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

Adhere the premade sentiment to the (1 1/4” x 4”) piece lolly piece of cardstock. Set aside.
I cheated and we will be using the Stamparatus® to stamp. On the (4” x 5 1/4”)piece of white cardstock, stamp the grass all in granny green.
To get the different colors of flowers in the fields, use ONLY STAMPIN’ WRITE MARKERS to color the flowers on the stamp. It usually helps that once you have finished coloring, you “HUFF” on the stamp to make it stamp better. Adhere this to your card front.
I used the same steps to do the front side of the envelope. (I didn’t do the flap because the stamp is not quite wide enough to cover the flap and I thought it would look weird.)
Stamp your little Easter bunny on the small piece of white hardtack, color him in using the Stampin’ Blends. Then die cut him out. Adhere him to the card front using Dimensionals®
Adhere the sentiment strip to the top of the card also using Dimensionals®.
Attach a bow
For the inside of your card stamp sentiment in black and add a flower if you want to.

You're How Old??

I think this stamp test is so hysterically funny. You can have lots of fun with it. On my list of supplies, I did not include the Stampin' Blends that I used. Use whatever colors you want to use to add color.

YOU’RE HOW OLD!?

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

Fold and burnish your card (5 1/2” x 8 1/2” scored @ 4 1/4’) on the score line.
Run your (3 1/2” x 5 1/2”) piece of Melon Mambo cardstock through the emboss machine in the Swirly embossing folder. Adhere this butted up to the fold on the card front. (Optional: run the flap of the envelope through the emboss machine in the folder so that your envelope will coordinate.)
Adhere the 1/4” strip gray cards stock along side the Mambo you just adhered.
Adhere the 2 3/4”square of Gray Granite to your card front
On the 2 1/2” square of white cardstock, stamp your image in Tuxedo Black and color in however. You would like to. To get the two different colored bursts, I used the Stampin’ Write markers and colored the stamp then stamped. Please DO NOT use the blends to color stamps. Adhere this on the gray square.
On your small strip of white cardstock stamp the sentiment then adhere it to the strip of Gray Granite cardstock. Adhere to your card front using dimensionals.
Stamp the additional sentiment and design on the (4” x 5 1/4”) white cardstock then adhere to the inside of your card.
