Saturday Simple Stamping: #35 Christmas Gleaming

Hello and welcome to this weeks Saturday Simple Stamping Episode.  This week we are making a card using the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  I decided to make a simple Christmas Card for you today using just stamps, ink, paper and the matching Gleaming Ornament Punches from this suite.  You will find this suite on pages 30 through 32.  You can get both the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set and matching Gleaming Ornament Punches in a cost saving bundle when you order them using this item #153006.  Here's a look at today's project.

Tips & Tricks: 

For my card today I used a piece of Real Red Cardstock cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 as my card base.  I stamped the large ornament from the stamp set in Real Red ink all around the card base.  I then took a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock and stamped the two large ornaments and the small in Crushed Curry, Garden Green, and Real Red ink around this piece to create the card front.  I added in the little dot textured stamp from the stamp set in the open spaces around the card.  I made sure that the ornaments where all staggered around the very vanilla card front.  That way it gives you visual interest on the card.   

Once I had that stamping done I added the very vanilla to the card front using Snail Adhesive.  I then added a strip of Real Red Cardstock that I made into a fish tail banner .  I stamped one of the large ornaments and one of the small and punched them out using the matching Gleaming ornament punches and popped them on my card with a couple dimensionals.  I then stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo black ink on a scrap of Real Red cardstock and trimmed it out using my snips.  Since this image has a bold outline and open lettering it allows the colors of the letters to be real red with the outline being black.

Rick's Saturday Simple Stamping Episode 23: Featuring the Dino Days Stamp Set

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you another #simplestamping card.  Today's card features the dinoriffic stamp set Dino Days new in the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  This is a super fun set featuring some very cute dinosaurs.  As I mentioned in another post I totally think this set can be used for anyone not just kids.

If you are new to stamping these tutorials and videos are designed just for you.  They are designed to teach new crafters how to create wonderful cards only using Stamps, Ink, and Paper!   These are super simple but fun and cute cards that you can easily recreate without problems.  I design a new card for my beginning stampers each week.  I remember how it felt when I first started stamping and how scary it can be to share your cards with others.  So I am here to help you not to feel that way.  And one way I can do that is to share with you a Simple Stamped card that you can recreate and to help guide you in that you don't have to have all the fun stuff just yet.  All that comes as you progress.  Here's a look at today's simple stamping card.

See I told you super cute cards but easy to reproduce for the new stamper in mind.  I started off with just a piece of Thick Whisper White Cardstock.  A standard size piece of cardstock in the US is 8 1/2 x 11.  You can get two cards from one sheet.  You will want to score it down the middle:  I did a portrait style card today so we will turn it on the long side and score it at 5 1/2.  Turn it back around on the short side and cut down the middle at 4 1/4.  Now you how two card bases cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.  Now all we have to do is stamp.

Simple Stamping: 

Now since we have the paper cut it's time to pull out the ink.  I used Pretty Peacock, Lovely Lipstick, Mango Melody, Old Olive, Pineapple Punch, and Pool Party.  In the image above you will see the addition of Pool Party little images that I didn't show in the video.  I used two of the small images to fill up some of the white space on the card.  You can see them and copy them from the pictures below.  

Pick a dinosaur and a ink color and stamp one dinosaur in each color, around the card.  I started with the largest one first and then filled in the rest.  

Once you have both cards stamped add your sentiment and then use the smaller stamps in pool party to fill in the white space a little.  For the card above I used the Palm branch to fill in areas.  

For this one I used the same colors but used the foot prints to fill in some of the white space.  

Here's another look at both cards so that you can see them side by side without having to scroll back up.  Thanks for dropping by today, I hope that you will give this simple stamped card a try.  You will find all the supplies used in the Stampin' Up! Shopping List below.  

Happy Stampin'
