Our challenge this week from the TGIF Challenges team is Simply Stamping. That means just stamps, ink, paper and one embellishment. I love to make simple note cards using one image and a greeting. So I looked through my stamp sets to find the perfect little image (that I haven't used before!) to create a boxed set of cards for a gift. I pulled out the little wildflower image from the Wildlife Wonder stamp set (#157923); three colors of ink and card stock: Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen; Basic White note cards and envelopes (#159232); Linen Thread (#104199); Pale Papaya & White 1/2" ribbon (#155816); a Pale Papaya patterned piece of Expressions in Ink designer series paper (#1555464) and a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box (#153069) to create my set:
There are two different note card designs, 2 of each design, in the set. The wildflower was stamped in Soft Succulent and colored with the Pale Papaya Dark Stampin' Blends marker. The greetings were stamped in Evening Evergreen. The stamped pieces were layered on either Soft Succulent or Pale Papaya card stock, wrapped in a bow of Linen Thread and then adhered to the note card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. The envelopes were stamped with the Wildflower image.
The Mini Paper Pumpkin Box was covered with the designer series paper, a 5-1/2" X 3-3/4"piece for the top and two 5-1/2" X 3/4" pieces and two 3-1/2" x 3/4" pieces for the sides. It was closed with a belly band of Evening Evergreen card stock, decorated with a coordinating stamped piece and Soft Succulent Stitched Rectangles (#151820) layers, one Pale Papaya layer and the Pale Papaya & White ribbon tied in a bow.
Don't be afraid to stamp simply! You can still create impactful and elegant cards! Be inspired by the Simply Stamped cards over at the TGIF Challenges Blog here.
Have a great weekend!
