Another Simple Stampin' Card

Happy weekend all I blogged the other day my pink Biggest Wish birthday card for the #simplestamping challenge. You can see that blog post HERE

I thought I would share my first go at creating the card but my bottom Happy ended up right on the bottom line and there was white space at the top,  but it wasn't a bad mistake so I just trimmed the top to match.

Using the Stamparatus it was so easy to just lift the plate and move the word down 1 notch, clean, reink, stamp, lift and rinse and repeat. The stamp critics in my house (my partner Pete and his son) like this version best and I have to say it is a HAPPY card all right.

Now to the best of my recall the ink colours are Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody (also the cardstock), Granny Apple Green. Polished Pink, Midnight Muse and Early Espresso

Well I hope you all have a fab weekend it's a long weekend in NZ and both these #simplestamping cards have been sent out to some friends for their birthdays so I think I'd better make some more!

Simple Stampin' Challenge

Wow I hadn't realised it has been such a long time since I blogged!!

I'm still crafting away and enjoying spending times catching up with my crafty friends though a lot of catching up seems nowadays to be online. I'll see if I can do better in 2022 as Pete and myself have settled into our new home and my craft room is as set up as it can be in the 2nd biggest bedroom I managed to snaffle for "me and my toys".

My upline Rhonda Fawcett from the Star Stampers has challenged the team to make a simple birthday card just using card, ink and stamps, no folds, no embellishments.

I earned the Biggest Wish stamp set after attending an online SU! event and I thought it would be the perfect stamp set for this challenge. My first go was multi-coloured but I didn't like it maybe my choice of colours was wrong so ending up doing a "pinkish mix" and I'm really happy how it all turned out. 

I had never used my Stamparatus before but it made it so easy to move the stamp and use another colour so am rapt it is part of my tools now and the alignment is perfect.

 

Supply List (all SU!):

Stamps: Biggest Wish
Ink (from top to bottom): Polished Pink, Calypso Coral, Magenta Madness, Flirty Flamingo, Gorgeous Grape, Poppy Parade
