Flowering teacup z fold card #simplestamping

Today's card features the Flowering Desert stamp set (148700) and an image from the stamp set found in the February 2019 Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription kit.  It is a Z fold card and stands upright.  I used cajun craze, grapefruit grove and mint macaron card stock to make the base and Z fold of the card.  The focal image is on a piece of whisper white which has been sponged with sponge daubers and the following inks starting from the bottom and working up:  sahara sand, daffodil delight, mango melody, pumpkin pie, cajun craze, flirty flamingo, gorgeous grape, pacific point and night of navy.  I stamped the cacus over the top in mint macaron.  I then stamped the botanical teacup on a piece of whisper white and colored with my Stampin' Blend alcohol markers in light and dark old olive, light flirty flaming, light crumb cake and light and dark calypso coral.  The flowers on the cup are stamped in cajun craze and are also from the February Paper Pumpkin kit.  I then fussy cut the tea cup image out and added to the focal panel with stampin' dimensionals to give it some added depth and interest.  The mint macaron layer on the smaller front panel and the larger back panel are stamped with an image from Flowering Desert to make my own designer series paper to coordinate.  All you need to make this card is stamps, ink and paper which makes it a #simplestamping card. 

I did not put a sentiment on this card as I did not want to detract from the focal panel.  This card was made as a thank card and the sentiment can be found on the inside of the card, hidden from view until the card is opened.

Vibrant Vases thanks #simplestamping

Today's project is a thank you card I made for customers for shopping with me in March.  It features the Vibrant Vases (148656) stamp set and utilizes only stamps, ink and paper making it a #simplestamping card.  I started with a card base in merry merlot, then added a layer of Wood Textures (144177) designer series paper (DSP).  To that I added my focal image which is a panel of whisper white cut at 2 1/2 x 3 3/4 and layered on another piece of merry merlot cut at 2 3/4" by 4".  This card uses only one stamp set, Vibrant Vases which is a two step stamping set which means, there is no coloring.  For instance, the Vase outline is stamped in tranquil tide and has the leaves in it.  I then stamped the inside of the vase in lemon lime twist.  The flower outline is stamped in fresh fig and the inside of the flowers in merry merlot.  The leaves of the flowers were stamped in tranquil tide as well as the sentiment.  To line things up properly, I used the Stamperatus stamp positioning tool (146276) and was able to make multiples of this card very quickly.

For the inside, I used a piece of the Wood Textures DSP left from the front panel to decorate along the bottom.  The inside sentiment comes from the Flowering Desert (148700) stamp set, but you could just as easily use a sentiment from Vibrant Vases.

Waterfront Flowering Desert own kind of beautiful #simplestamping

Today's project is a card I designed which features the Waterfront stamp set.  The stamp set was designed with the help of million dollar sales achiever Connie Heisey (146386)  You can do so much with this set to make any kind of scenery easily and quickly just be stamping images here and there.  It also features the Flowering Desert stamp set from the 2019 Occasions catalog (148700).  I used the following ink colors to achieve this picturesque scene:  berry burst, fresh fig, sahara sand, tanquil tide and lemon lime twist for the ground cover.  Mango melody, crushed curry, flirty flamingo, pacific point and night of navy inks for the sunset. 

The sentiment comes from the Flowering Desert stamp set and is stamped in tranquil tide.  For the inside of my card, I stamped the cactus image and flowers in tranquil tide and berry burst also from the Flowering Desert stamp set.  Because this card utilizes only stamps, ink and paper and features at least one of the retiring colors (it actually features four of them), it qualifies for the April #simplestamping challenge issued to demonstrators.
