Translucent Florals Simple Stamping Card

Every month, Stampin Up sets up a Simple Stamping challenge.  This month, it is a thank you card, using paper, ink and stamps.  I wanted to have a chance to play with the Translucent stamp set so this is what I came up with.


Materials used:
  • Basic White cardstock (3.75 x 5")
  • Basic White Thick cardstock (card base)
  • Berry Burst cardstock (4 x 5.25")
  • Berry Burst ink
  • Mossy Meadow ink
  • Memento Ink
  • Translucent Florals stamp set
  • Go to Greetings stamp set


Another version, using the sentiments in the Translucent Florals set.


Here is a video on how to do this simple stamping card.



I would love to see some of your simple stamping cards.  Please share in the comments.


Happy Stamping!

Layering Leaves Card

 Another project that was made for our Alaska Papercrafting cruise was this card using the Layering Leaves stamp set and coordinating punch.  I love the layered look and find it is an elegant looking card, especially with the ribbon with the gold accents.



Using a couple different green inks and stamping off the ink, provided some depth to the card.

  • Materials used:
  • Basic White Cardstock
  • Mossy Meadow Cardstock
  • Garden Green Ink
  • Mossy Meadow Ink
  • Layering Leaves Stamp set and punch
  • Stylish Shapes Dies
  • Gold Satin Edged Ribbon
  • 2022-2024 In Colour Pearls
  • Glue dots
  • Dimensionals

Happy Stamping!  Please share your versions of the card.
