Father's Day Forest and Buck

Here today with another masculine card, this time to honor Father's Day. I've used a couple of different Stamp Simply stamps/dies here, along with Sizzix Tim Holtz embossing folder and die. Take a look:

I began by spraying some Ranger Distress Spray Stain onto watercolor paper to create the forest and log background. The forest is Sizzix Tim Holtz "Treeline" and log is Sizzix Tim Holtz 3D Texture Fade "Tree Ring" embossing folder. Both of these Tim Holtz items are available at Stamp Simply.

The buck head stamp and die are from Stamp Simply's "A Godly Man" series. The stamp and die sets can be purchased individually, or as a bundle. The sentiment is Stamp Simply's "All Occasion Sentiments Set Two" stamp set. They are both stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink, and the sentiment panel is die cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Banner Sentiment die.

Quick and easy with a ton of color and texture! Linked supplies are from Stamp Simply.

Masculine Retirement Card

Hello! So glad to be back after a bit of unexpected time off! I have a simple masculine retirement card for you, put together with stamps and product from Stamp Simply!

I began with some dark chocolate colored cardstock. The mid layer has been embossed with a Sizzix/Tim Holtz 3D Cracked Leather embossing folder. I inked a bit of Versafine Clair Pinecone ink onto the textured inner flap of the embossing folder to enhance the leather coloration before running it through the machine. 

The cattails are from Stamp Simply's "Autumn Silhouettes" and are stamped with Versafine Clair Acorn ink onto creamy cardstock. The panel was die cut with a Spellbinder Deckled Rectangle die.

The sentiment is from Stamp Simply's "All Occasion Sentiments Set Two" stamp set, also stamped with Acorn ink. It was then die cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Banner Sentiment die.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Stamp Simply New Patriotic Release

 

Welcome! So excited to present Stamp Simply's new patriotic release: "The American Eagle" clear stamp set along with "The American Eagle" die set. You can purchase "The American Eagle" sets as a bundle, or individually. 

Let's take a look:

This first card is made with images and die from the brand new "The American Eagle" stamps and die. I stamped the eagle with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored it with Copic Sketch markers. I then die cut it with the new eagle die.  The "peace" sentiment is also stamped from the set, then die cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Banner Sentiment die.  The larger sentiment is stamped, then die cut with Spellbinder Oval dies.  The fabulous patriotic paper is Carta Bella "The Fourth of July" decorator paper.

This second card is a combination of the new "American Eagle" stamp set along with Stamp Simply's older "The Red, White, and Blue" stamp set. All of Stamp Simply's patriotic sets work SO WELL together!  The star from the new set is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Copic Sketch markers and die cut with the new die set. The word collage is stamped with Versafine Clair Blue Bell ink.

Lighthouse Sunset

A colorful sunset Father's Day card with the lighthouse image from Stamp Simply's "He is the Light" clear stamp and die sets.

I began by watercoloring the sunset backdrop using watercolor paper and Daniel Smith watercolors. I stamped the lighthouse on regular cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then used Copic Sketch markers to color it. I then die cut it with the lighthouse die. 

After layering the lighthouse onto the sunset, I used Spellbinder Oval dies to die cut black cardstock and blue Craft Consortium "Over the Rainbow" decorator paper to create a frame.

 The Father's Day sentiment is from Stamp Simply "All Occasion Sentiments, Set One" stamp set, stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. It's die cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Banner Sentiment die.

Mother's Day Rose

Bringing you a simple, clean and simple Mother's Day card with texture and pretty ribbon using stamps, dies, and product from Stamp Simply!

The base of the card is textured using a Tim Holtz 3D Texture Fade "Woven" embossing folder.

The pretty focal element is Stamp Simply's "Thinking of You Rose" stamp set and die. It is stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink, and die cut with the rose die. It's colored with Copic Sketch markers.

A border of May Art's Sheer Ribbon, along with a Seam Binding bow (made with a Bow Easy) adds extra bling and color.

The Mother's Day sentiment is from Stamp Simply's "All Occasion Sentiments Set 1" stamp set, die cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Banner Sentiment die.

Precious Bouquet

 

Most precious is my little grandson coming up to me with a fistful of flowers that he proudly picked...a dozen roses cannot compete! This little bouquet reminds me exactly of that.

The blooms are die cut with Tim Holtz Sizzix Wildflower Stems 1 and 2 dies from watercolor paper and watercolored with Daniel Smith watercolors. The blooms are gathered with a piece of May Art's Burlap String (other colors available), layered over a background of kraft cardstock.

The Bible verse is from Stamp Simply's "Farmhouse Scriptural Quotes," on sale now with the Farmhouse Series stamps and dies.

The Bible verse is stamped directly onto the background with Versafine Clair Acorn ink.

Start Each Day

Welcome! My Stamp Simply card for today comes in Springtime colors with a coffee theme. It's a flat card that is suitable for mailing as well as simple to make.

The base is made up of layers of Echo Park's "My Favorite Easter" decorator paper with the Stamp Simply "Farmhouse Simple Sentiments" stamped directly on with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

You can find Stamp Simply's entire Farmhouse Series HERE.

 The cups are stamped onto the "My Favorite Easter" paper pad prints with Nocturne ink using Stamp Simply's "Have a Cup on Us" clear stamp set, then die cut using the Stamp Simply "Have a Cup on Us" die set. After die cutting the cups, I trimmed close to the black line around each cup, then die cut additional cups out of white cardstock. I then paper pieced the printed cups on top of the white. This adds a bit more dimension and a white border around the cup shapes.

A simple card with some pretty color...perfect to send to your coffee buddy! All linked supplies come from Stamp Simply.

Have a wonderful weekend!
