Easter Joy w/Stamp Simply Clear Stamps

Welcome by my blog today, sweet creative friends.  I'm always happy and grateful to have you visit me, to hear your thoughts and comments, and just to know that you're here.  I also equally enjoy seeing all of your creative artwork, and I hope you know how much you all inspire me.  Today I'm sharing a sweet and easy little card and bookmark duo creating using the Stamps of the Week from Stamp Simply.  These products are all on sale this week, and they are amazing.

This card started with black, pink and natural white cardstocks that I layered together.  The top (pretty) layer was cut using the beautiful Craft Consortium Ink Drops - Rose 6x6 Paper Pad.  I cut the piece of patterned paper into strips and placed them strategically onto the natural white cardstock, leaving small gaps of white in between.  The beautiful pattern in the paper remains fluid and continuous even though there are spaces in between each section.  The Craft Consortium Collection has several lovely colors of this gorgeous paper, and they're all available at Stamp Simply.

The sentiment and image I stamped on the front of my card are both found in the (one sale) Salvation Stamp Set.  I also made a matching bookmark that uses all the same papers.  The sentiment on the bookmark can be found in the (also on sale) Good News Stamp Set.  I stamped the bookmark sentiment with Graphite Black Ink and cut it using the Fishtail Banner Dies.  I love the beveled edges these gorgeous Banner Dies leave.  The many wonderful stamp sets available at Stamp Simply make it easy to create beautiful cards, matching bookmarks and more.

The finishing touches to my card were a pretty Seam Binding bow topped with a Coconut White Paper Bloom.  You can find the Stamp of the Week and other promotions by visiting Stamp Simply, and you can always find lots of wonderful inspiration on the Stamp Simply Blog and IG Page.  Thanks so much for visiting me today.  I appreciate you so much, and I'm praying that you all have a happy and blessed Easter.  God loves you very much.  So much, in fact, that He died for you.

He Lives - Easter Card w/Stamp Simply

Welcome by my blog today, friends. Thanks for visiting me and for taking a peek at this sweet Easter card and bookmark that I created using some of the wonderful stamps, dies and products found at Stamp Simply.  No matter what the occasion or holiday, we can always count on Stamp Simply to have the perfect stamps, sentiments, scriptures and products to help us create the perfect card.

This card started with some blue cardstock that I layered with patterned papers from the Echo Park Love Notes 6x6 Paper Pack. I stamped John 11:23 on the inside of the card using the Easter Stamp Set.  I accented the scripture with images (crown of thorns and cross) found in the Salvation Stamp Set.  One of the (many) things I love about Stamp Simply is how all their stamps complement one another so nicely. 

I also used the Tim Holtz Crochet Border Die to cut a fancy edge and laid a piece of Ivory Lace next to that.  I stamped the beautiful flowers found in the He Lives Stamp Set, I colored them with my Copics, and die cut them using the coordinating He Lives Die.  The small accent images and sentiments in each stamp set offer you so many options and help to expand your creativity.

My card isn't "traditional" in that the top layer of the card doesn't cover the entire surface of the card.  I did this so that you could see the stamped sentiment (or at least most of it) at first glance.  I also wanted the flowers to be a focal point.  They were placed over some patterned paper from the same Echo Park Love Notes 6x6 Paper Pad. The sentiment and images seen on the bookmark can all be found in the Salvation Stamp Set.  AND......a great Leap Day SALE.

You can find lots of great inspiration every day on the Stamp Simply Blog as well as information about special sales and promotions taking place at Stamp Simply.  These are stamps and dies that any crafter would welcome to their crafting, and we sure hope that you'll stop by Stamp Simply to see it all and take advantage of this great discount. Thanks again for your visit today, and happy crafting.

Happy Easter w/Stamp Simply

Welcome by today, friends.  As I've mentioned before, Stamp Simply Clear Stamps really does make it "simple" to create beautiful cards.  Today I'm sharing two sweet Easter cards created using some of the lovely stamp sets from Stamp Simply and it was SO easy to create these sweet cards.  Whether you're a beginner or an advanced stamper, you'll always find the perfect stamps, dies and products at Stamp Simply to help you create amazing cards for every occasion.

This first card started with basic white cardstock and some patterned papers and journalling square from Echo Park's Welcome Easter collection.  I also want to mention that I didn't stamp these Easter eggs.  Instead, I used the Easter is for Jesus Dies and the Easter egg patterned paper in the Echo Park Welcome Easter collection to cut the eggs.  This was a really easy way to create pretty Easter eggs.  You can see what I did here in the photo below.

Next, I stamped the sentiments onto a journalling square using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and then the cross was stamped using Tim Holtz Spun Sugar Ink both found in the lovely Easter is for Jesus Stamp Set.  I positioned the Easter eggs around the sentiments to frame it a bit and to add lots of pretty colors to my card.

I attached a few little sequins and a Tim Holtz miniature paperclip to my card as accents.  I also ran a length of the adorable May Arts Adhesive Pink Rosettes across the bottom of my card.  Aren't they just so sweet?  There are lots of great ribbons and trims at Stamp Simply to adorn your cards.  I hope this card (and post) help you to understand just how SIMPLE it is to create lovely cards when using products from Stamp Simply.

On my second card, I again used the darling patterned papers found in the Echo Park Welcome Easter 6x6 Paper Pad.  These papers are SO sweet.  I also added half of a small white paper doily at the bottoms of my card.  The image (Easter is for Jesus) is from the Easter is for Jesus Stamp Set.  I added two lovely trims at the bottom that can be found in the Pink & White Ribbon Assortment.  They add such a soft, sweet touch to any card - at Easter or all year long. 

Those adorable Easter eggs are also found in the Easter is for Jesus Stamp Set  and were cut using the Easter is for Jesus Die Cuts.  I stamped two of them onto patterned paper and one on white cardstock, and they were all colored a bit using my Copics.  SO cute, and I just love how this stamp set is super cute, but still gives focus to the One we should really be celebrating at Easter.....Jesus.

You can find lots of great inspiration every day on the Stamp Simply Blog and amazing deals and products at the Stamp Simply Store.  There's never a shortage of excitement at Stamp Simply, and we're always happy to answer any questions you might have about our projects and the products we carry.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  It's always a treat to have you visit.
