For my card design, I wanted to share a clean and simple card design using the new Simply Said stamp set from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.

I love making clean and simple card designs, especially when I can add a Wow factor to make it extra special. For this card design, I chose the new In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper in each of the five colors to add some sparkle to the design. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut the circles and adhered them to the Basic Black card front, trimming the edges flush with the card front. I used the excess pieces to fill in around the edges to complete the design. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Simply Said stamp set with Gold embossing powder onto the Basic Black cardstock strip and trimmed it to approx. 3 1/8". I added two of the Peach Pie Shimmer Gems to decorate the sentiment label. I added the sentiment to the center of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. I added the Basic Black card front to the Pretty In Pink cardstock layer and then used Stampin' Dimensionals to add it to the Petunia Pop card base. I love how beautifully these colors work together and how they pop against the Basic Black card front. This card would work well to help celebrate a variety of occasions.
