Each month, Stampin’ Up! issues a #simplestamping challenge to its demonstrators worldwide. We go back to the basics and focus on creating a card with just rubber stamps, ink, and paper. This month, we add an extra element: ribbon.
Although I need a few more Christmas cards, I also use a lot of thank you cards this time of year. I’ve received a number of heartfelt gifts, and I want the givers to understand how much I appreciate them thinking of me.
Evergreen Elegance #simplestamping
I turned to #simplestamping to help me create s stack of cards I can have handy and get in the mail right away. This card uses:
Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set (sentiment) also found in the Annual Catalog
Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog
This layout features three strips of Designer Series Paper each measuring 5 1/4 inches by 1 4/ inches. I spaced them equal distance apart on the Soft Succulent card base. Imagine creating a host of different backgrounds with Stampin’ Up!’s huge array of patterned papers.
The white stamped piece measures 2 inches by 3 1/2 inches, and the Evening Evergreen layer measures 2 1/4 inches by 3 1/2 inches. I topped it off with a bow created with the Soft Succulent 3/8 inch Open Weave Ribbon.
As I’ve said before, I’m a clean and simple stamper and this basic layout and design really appeals to me. It will be easy to create a stack in a short time.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you’ve enjoyed my #simplestamping project.

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Punch and Daisy Delight Stamp Set
Hello Stampers!
Punches help make projects easy! Once again, I pulled out Stampin’ Up!’s Daisy Punch and coordinating stamp set Daisy Delight to create this thank-you card.
Here’s how it goes together:
Card base: Whisper White Thick
Designer Series Paper: Happiness Blooms. Cut at 5 ¼ x 4 inches
Top layer: Whisper White Thick cut at 5 x 3 ¾ inches
Punch the Daisy from the Whisper White
Using Night of Navy ink, stamp the sentiment
Adhere the Night of Navy Gingham Ribbon
Use dimensionals (I was very generous—using at least 10) to “pop” the piece up onto the Designer Series Paper.
Adhere panel to white base.
Cut a ½-inch circle from Pineapple Punch card stock and adhere to center of daisy
Super easy and super fun!

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala and Butterfly Duet Punch
Hello Stampers!
The Butterfly Duet Punch has been one of the most popular Stampin’ Up! punches of all time! It coordinates with the Butterfly Gala stamp set. Both of these can be found in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog. The good news is that the punch will also be available in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. (You can order from that catalog beginning June 4.)
However, buy them now as a bundle and receive a 10 percent discount.
The color inspiration (Petal Pink, Mint Macaron, and Pool Party) for this card came from the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper. You can see the little strip of it that runs across the middle of the card.
I stamped each of the butterflies in each of the three inks and stamped them on their coordinating card sock. I then punched them out with the punch. The cool thing about the set is that the little butterfly and big butterfly are hooked together on the same stamp so it’s easy to punch.
The colors definitely say spring, and it’s finally here in Nebraska. I’ve made a lot of these cards to express my gratitude.
Thanks for stopping by today! To see a list of the products used in today’s projects, scroll to the bottom of the post. Click on any of the graphics to be taken directly to my online store where you can purchase these 24/7.
