Grow In Grace w/Stamp Simply

Stamp Simply is such an amazing store for stamps, dies, and all sorts of fabulous crafting products.  Their wonderful line of scripture, sentiment and images stamps coordinate beautifully with their dies.  You'll also find so many great products to accent all your cards.  Today I'm sharing a card that features just a few of the many fabulous goodies you'll find when you shop at Stamp Simply.

I used black cardstock and I layered that with patterned papers found in the Craft Consortium's Bright Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad.  I stamped the cream cardstock with Ground Espresso Oxide Ink using the lovely Vintage Seed Packet Background Stamp.  I cut out the middle oval using the Vintage Ovals & Twigs Dies and replaced it with another of the pretty patterned papers.

I used a sentiment found in the Vintage Seed Packet Background Stamp Set (Grow In Grace) to stamp that sentiment.  I cut the sentiment and layered piece using the awesome Fishtail Banner Dies.  I also used some 3-D Foam Tabs to elevate some of the pieces.  The gorgeous floral is found in the He Lives Stamp Set, and I colored the daffodils with my Copics.  Next, I used the coordinating He Lives Daffodil Die to cut out the flowers.  Once again, I used some 3-D Foam Tabs to raise the image.

Whatever stamp, sentiment, scripture or image you're looking for; you're more than likely to find it at Stamp Simply.  They carry so many fabulous crafting products, stamps, dies, embossing folders, stencils and more.  Be sure to check out all the fabulous inspiration on the Stamp Simply Blog and SS IG Page.  Thanks so much for visiting me here today.

The following challenges inspired this card:

Let Freedom Ring w/Stamp Simply

I praise God for allowing me to be born in what I truly believe is the greatest country in the world - The United States of America.  I also praise God for the many men and women who have, over the course of history, sacrificed their lives for the freedoms and privileges we have and enjoy every day in America.  Additionally, I'm grateful for Stamp Simply and its Owner, Sharon, for creating Stamp Simply which is a stamp store that is founded on Christian principles and carries many Christian and Patriotic products to celebrate this great country and the One who created and blesses it - Jesus Christ, God in human flesh.

For this fun Patriotic card, I used a white cardstock base layered with red gingham and blue gingham patterned papers from JilliBean Soup that I pieced together and stamped with the lovely Vintage Seed Packet Background Stamp.  I stamped it in Versafine Black Onyx Ink.  I also used the coordinating Vintage Ovals & Twigs Dies to cut out the center portion of the card.  I didn't quite make a shaker card, but I did add a few star-shaped sequins.

I used the beautiful Red, White & Blue Stamp Set to stamp the American flag and the sentiment (Let Freedom Ring).  I used the coordinating Red, White & Blue Flag Dies to cut the flag, and I colored it with my Copic markers.  I added some Red Baker's Twine and Blue Baker's Twine to the sides of my card for additional texture and color.  The flag was raised up a bit using some 3-D Foam Tabs to give it a bit of dimension.  A piece of Royal Blue Gingham Ribbon attached with a Tim Holtz rusty paper clip was the finishing touch.

If there's anything I forgot to mention, I'm happy to answer any questions you might have; but for the most part, everything I used on this card can be found at Stamp Simply.  Be sure to stop by the Stamp Simply Blog each day for lots of great inspiration, too.  Thanks so much for your visit today, and please stop by again soon.  I'm always super grateful for your visits, comments and encouragement.  Stamp Simply really is an AWESOME store, and we're here to help you with any questions you have because we LOVE stamping, we love the Lord Jesus, and we LOVE America.  Have a blessed and creative week.

Peony Seed Packet Card w/Stamp Simply

Hello friends, and welcome by my blog today.  I'm sharing a pretty card that I created for Stamp Simply using a few of their wonderful products.  With Christmas behind us now, we look to Spring and Easter.  They will be here before we know it; and as always, Stamp Simply has all the perfect crafting products to help you crate beautiful cards all year long.

I started with kraft cardstock that I used to stamp the Vintage Seed Packet Background.  I cut out the center oval using the coordinating Vintage Seed Packet Dies, and I raised up the background portion to give it some dimension.  Next, I stamped the pretty peony using the Peony Stamp Set.  I colored this lovely flower using my Copics, and cut it out with the coordinating Peony Dies.  The cute little bumble bees are also found in the Peony Stamp Set.

The finishing touches on this card include some pretty Seam Binding that I tied into bows.  All of the stamps and dies from Stamp Simply work well on their own and when combined with other Stamp Simply products.  The pretty pink polka dot patterned paper I used on the background is found in the Craft Consortium Bright Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad.  The inside of this card is also decorated.  I used the (cut) oval and stamped it with the sentiments from these two stamp sets.  I stamped the Peony Stamp again and cut off just the top bloom.  I also used an awesome patterned paper from the Scorched Wood 6x6 Paper Pad and left it open so that I could tuck in a gift card.

You'll always find so much amazing inspiration on the Stamp Simply Blog and lots of great shopping at Stamp Simply.  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.  I'm always so super grateful for your visits and I hope that you'll stop by again soon.  Stamp Simply is absolutely awesome, and you'll love everything you find there.  Have a creative week, everyone.

Hello Pumpkin w/Stamp Simply

Have you seen all the ADORABLE New Release stamps and dies from Stamp Simply?  Among my most favorite new products, are the Vintage Seed Packet Stamp and Vintage Christmas Background Stamp.  You simply stamp that background (either one), and VOILA!  You've created something beautiful just like that.  I can't get enough of these amazing new background stamps and dies from Stamp Simply.  They will pair nicely with ANY stamps in your collection.

I used the new Boho Pumpkins Stamp Set for the sentiment and those gorgeous pumpkins with leaves that I colored with my Copics.  I cut the pumpkins using the coordinating Boho Pumpkins Dies and placed them on my card with 3-D Foam Tabs.  I layered some cardstocks and a piece of pumpkin corrugated cardboard underneath the Vintage Seed Packet Stamp to give it some color and texture.  As you can see, I also stamped the Boho Pumpkins on a matching envelope to complete the set.  I splattered the card with some paint for fun.  Do you see that little Fishtail Banner Die tab sticking out there on the bottom right?

I cut the opening in the Vintage Seed Packet Stamp using the awesome new Vintage Ovals & Twigs Dies.  This die set works with both of the GORGEOUS new background stamps; so you'll be all set for Fall and Christmas with these beautiful new products.  You can find SO much great inspiration for different ways to use these amazing new sets when you visit the Stamp Simply Blog.   I'm in AWE every day at all the beautiful cards shared on the Stamp Simply Blog.  That little tab on the bottom right is my sentiment.  Since there wasn't room for a sentiment on the front of my card, I used a small kraft envelope on the inside and placed a sliding sentiment (HELLO PUMPKIN) that was cut using the Fishtail Banner Dies.

Thanks so much for visiting me again today.  Your visits and comments mean SO much to me, friends.  I do hope you'll stop by Stamp Simply to take a peek at all the fabulous New Release products that have been added to the store this Fall.  They are so lovely, and they allow you to make beautiful cards by SIMPLY STAMPING them......hence the name Stamp Simply.  And don't miss out on this FAB Labor Day Sale where you can SAVE 20% storewide.
