Hello and welcome to Simple Stamping Saturdays No.22. This week all my projects will be made solely using colours from the Subtles Family from Stampin’ Up! I will have to throw in black, white and vanilla too though. The choice of colour collection is a result of a poll I held on my Facebook page. Check out the page on Wednesday for your chance to vote for next week’s featured item.
Today’s cards have been kept very simple and I’ve only used three colours – Calypso Coral, Petal Pink and Blushing Bride.
The sentiments on this card come from the Itty Bitty Birthday (Happy Birthday) and the Itty Bitty Greetings (Celebrate) stamp sets.
The card on the left is the same card as the one at the top. The card on the right uses the same stamps as before but only two colours (assuming black is classified as a colour). I wanted to share that –
- You don’t need to have lots of ink pads and stamp sets to create a simple but effective card. The Happy Birthday sentiment has been stamped three times and the stamp was not reinked in the Calypso Coral ink pad. The sentiment therefore gets lighter and creates an ombre effect. The same method was used for the black “Celebrate” sentiment.
- A simple but effective card can be created using solely sentiments. Think about what stamp sets you have and what you can combine to create a fun card.
If you would like to be able to replicate these Simple Stamping Saturdays No.22 cards, and need the stamp sets and or inks please consider purchasing them from my Online Store. You can do so by clicking on the images below.
Happy stamping.
