Just felt like stamping a very simple card today that was monochromatic. I used minimal supplies and the Stampin’ Up! Color, Bermuda Bay. Simple stamping is just as fun as taking lots of time. I love it all! ​

Have a happy day 🙂

I was at a yard sale where a lady was getting rid of packages of these cute, blank,  tall, turquoise cards. I took some old supplies and put together a few different cards that made for a cute set​

​

​Always so great  to have some stamping therapy!

Three of my favorite things to do when stamping

1. Look at challenge to give myself an aim of what to stamp and how I’ll design my card.  Today I had the Global Design Project #55 challenge in mind!
2. Look at project I love that someone else has designed for some inspiration.  Sometimes it’s the colors, sometimes it’s the layout.  And sometimes, it’s just the blossom or the sentiment!  But looking through Pinterest or a few of my favorite blogs usually has me chomping at the bit to sit down and get stamping!  These cards were inspired by this card set by Jennifer McGuire
3. Give myself a challenge to look through what I ALREADY HAVE!!  I have so many supplies and love buying more!  But I have to stop myself from buying more these days and look at the amazing images, colors, embellishments, paper, etc that I already have and use it!!  These blossoms are from a Stampin’ Up! set that retired a long time ago!  But When I pull out the stuff I already have, it fills me with gratitude for the fun things I have to fulfill my crazy stamping passion – as opposed to filling like I need more more more.  Don’t get me wrong.  A new item added to my collection is thrilling too!!!

Oh how I love stamping therapy!

Happy day 🙂

I didn’t take part in this challenge, but I certainly loved playing with it to create a card for a loved one!

 

 

 

I love this prayers stamp set

After adding some enamel accents and ribbon

My card was complete

I love stamping therapy! 🙂

 

I needed a set of cards for my niece who is serving a mission in Canada. I used CTS #189 for my inspiration! I always love the simple challenge that these sketches are.

 

I couldn’t resist making a few in different colors

With some sequins, dew drops and candy dots, my set of simple cards were complete

Stamping therapy is the BEST! 🙂

I had fun making this card. I was totally stretched past my normal ideas with the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge!

And so here’s my card!

I added the ombre with the stenciling to take the Simon Says stamp Wednesday challenge.
The little heart stamp is from the Simon Says Stamp “Like your Style”

It felt so good to sit down and take time on a card after busy holidays kept me from doing that much. I think this little girl, from a My Favorite Things stamp set, is so cute. Maybe I was drawn to the idea of a warm looking scene because it’s so freezing cold here in Utah! I made it for this addicted to stamps challenge.
My next goal is to sit down with some challenges and get creative on a consistent basis.

I love sitting down with each new Paper Pumpkin I get from Stampin’ Up! I thought the November kit was cute. Love their color “Cherry Cobbler” and it was the main color for the kit. I almost always switch it up a bit.

I added the gold foiling for some shine and those little gold pieces mixed in with the holly leaves? Those were from last month’s kit

I didn’t really like them on the card in that kit. But I thought they were cute tucked in behind the “Joy”.

Very simple

I just cut a little off the right side of the front of the card and added some coordinating strips on the inside.
Yay for a good Paper Pumpkin!

Sitting down to make more cards for the Caring Hearts Card Drive and had really fun pulling this set out from my Holiday Wishes Stamp of Approval box

It’s called Bright Baubles and is adorable and super fun to play with.
Although I made this one for the drive, it gets me excited to start thinking about the cards I’ll make for Christmas this year!

One of my favorite people to follow is Jennifer McGuire. Not only because she is one of the most amazing card creators ever, but because she uses her platform to bless others. I love her new “Share Handmade Kindness” project and will be doing my best to take every single challenge she posts for it. Here is the card I made for the first goal of giving some handmade kindness to “Friends and Family”.

The biggest challenge I have is getting the card out that I intend to get out. Time goes by and I end up feeling bad I “never send that card”. This challenge will be good for me to just get that card in the mail or to that neighbor or family member. I’m going to give this card to my mom- who always goes above and beyond to make sure every family gathering is amazing. Sometimes to a fault.

The stamps I used-
Lawn Fawn Friendship Grows
Paper Smooches Chit Chat
