Pretty Pink Posh | Watercolor Wild Rose

Hi there! Today I have this fun shaker card made with Pretty Pink Posh products. This will be perfect to hand over post -Christmas gifts.  

To make this, I stamped the Wild Rose stamp set on the card base that would serve as the background of my shaker card. Then to create my shaker, I used the exclusive Pretty Pink Posh Scalloped circles.

Next, I heat embossed the florals from Wild Rose stamp set in rose gold, and watercolored those with some gorgeous Daniel Smith.

I die cut "thank you" from the Thank You script die and heat embossed that with rose gold embossing powder too! The shaker is filled with Enchanted Garden sequins.

Then the whole thing was matted with pink cardstock.  Have you started your thank you cards?

Hugs,

Crystal

Concord & 9th | Altenew | Thanks

Hi, there friend, Crystal here with a very simple yet stunning card featuring Concord & 9th and Altenew newest releases. 

I was inspired by this color scheme found on Pinterest.

To make this, I began by stamping Altenew Floral Fantasy in Altenew Crisp Inks in the following sets, Cool Summer Night for the leaves, Red Cosmos for the pink flowers and Summer Afternoon for the yellow tones. Stamping the flowers came first, then the leaves.



The sentiment is Aloha from Concord & 9th July release. Heat Embossed in white on black cardstock and adhere to the card base with foam adhesive.



I am pretty pleased with the way this turned out, and I love how Pinterest can be a source of inspiration. Thanks for stopping by today!

Rustic Thanks

Hello friends, thanks so much for joining me today. I want to start by introducing myself. My name is  Crystal Thompson, one of your design team members for Simply Stamps! 

Today, I have a tutorial using a custom set I ordered through Simply Stamps.  I wanted to create a set of “thank you” cards for all those wonderful gifts we received this past Christmas from friends and family. So let’s get started.

First I ordered my personalized stamp with a set of twigs, a “thanks” sentiment and a pinecone. When ordering I asked to please send these unmounted as prefer to use acrylic blocks.

Next, I cut the stamps to individual pieces.

Begin your card by creating a base from white card stock, then layering with a colored card stock.

Trim your white piece of cardstock to be stamped and make sure it will be even on all sides.

Place the sentiment on acrylic block.

Stamp on card stock.

Using the pinecone and a lighter shade of ink, stamp the pinecone around the corner of the sheet.

To add a “togetherness” I stamped the elk/deer antlers in a darker ink color. (Note: these were trimmed to individual antlers).

To finish, stamp the pinecone in a darker ink.

Remember our twigs? These will go under the sentiment.

Mat the cardstock to the card base

Finish with sequins.

This card could easily be made in assembly line style. Below is the graphic you can use to order your stamps from Simply Stamps!

Just save this image and order

I appreciate you stopping by today!
