SATURDAY IS DESIGNATED AS #SIMPLESTAMPING DAY

Each Saturday, during 2022, my posts will introduce the Stampin’ Up!© product suite or bundle that I will feature for the rest of the week. This week is all about the RAINBOW OF HAPPINESS BUNDLE and the FREE coordinating SUNSHINE & RAINBOWS 6″x 6″ DESIGNER SERIES PAPER that you can select after placing a minimum $90 order.

In Australia, the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle is $77.25 and a set of Notecards & Envelopes (159232) is $12.25. This order would not, quite, qualify for the FREE DSP.

With some experience in ordering Stampin’ Up! supplies, you can develop some very strategic approaches to maximising your orders.

Let me share today’s projects before I share some ordering tips.

Today is #simplestamping day and I have two cards to share with you.

I do not usually use so many colours in my #simplestamping cards but a rainbow needs more than one or two colours.

For this rainbow I used Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Magenta Madness and Mango Madness.

The sentiment was stamped using Bermuda Bay.

The rainbow and sentiment were stamped directly onto the notecard.

My second card has just a few extra features.

I stamped the rainbow, using the same colours, in approximately the same place.

Then I stamped the same sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. I took a slightly larger piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock and punched a banner end in the right handside. The sentiment was then adhered to banner piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals. This layered piece was then placed over the bottom of the rainbow using some more Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside of the card and envelope were stamped using the small triple heart image.

I must admit that I still find creating #simplestamping cards challenging. When I first started my cardmaking journey these were the only type of cards I could make – I had so few tools and products and even less knowledge of techniques.

Almost a decade on and I have been making so many more projects with more products, tools and techniques. Tomorrow I will show you some cards that suit crafters wanting to make more ‘complex’ cards. These crafters have access to more products and tools. These craftes also have more experience with a wider range of techniques. I will share some stepped up cards tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. Just click on any of the images below.
