Stamping With Friends Simple Stamping Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Simple Stamping Blog Hop. You will be visiting with our talented Design Team members as they share their projects and ideas using this fun technique, that is perfect whether you are a beginner or an experienced stamper. For our Simple Stamping Challenge, we will be using stamps, ink and paper plus we can use a punch to create our projects.

For my Simple Stamping project, I decided to create a Fall themed card using the Soft Seedlings stamp set and Perched In A Tree stamp set. The punch I chose for my design is the Decorative Circle Punch and it worked perfectly for my sentiment label. The colors I chose for my design are Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso. This simple card design would work well for a variety of occasions to help brighten someone's day.

Simple Stamping is a fun way to create cards and a great way to explore different color combinations with your stamps. I love the images in the Soft Seedlings stamp set and wanted to create the look of Fall leaves for my card design. I chose Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze to create the leaves for the background design and I added some subtle background detail using Crumb Cake Classic ink with the dots image from the Perched In A Tree stamp set. To create the sentiment label, I stamped the sentiment image with Early Espresso Classic ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and punched it out with the Decorative Circle Punch. I layered it by punching out a Crumb Cake Decorative Circle and cutting it in half, before attaching it to the back of the Very Vanilla sentiment label. Using Paper Snips, I trimmed away any excess cardstock. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to attach it to the card front to complete the card design.
