#simplestamping - KISS, right?

All too often we over think things, right?

It may be at work when trying to present something important, at home during meal preps & it absolutely happens when stamping!!

KISS - is an anagram for Keep It Silly & Simple - what a great way to live life and to stamp, dont you think?

So it's time to pull it back and create something with simple stamping. Why complicate the process & the end product, hey?

With this simple image, I just love the lines and the continual pattern that this stamp creates!!

While this was taken from the catalogue, it makes me wonder what occasion the card would be for and who would receive it?

The blues are stunning & the image is simply beautiful and beautifully simple!!


Id love to see your #simplestamping, share them below, on here!!

Right, Im off to create something too, inspired by this image alone!!

Thankyou, chat again later, Jo. 

Kylies demonstrator blog hop, Feb 2020

Oh my goodness, the birthday, Christmas & New Year celebrations have come, gone & become a memory already & now it's February!! Ekkk!!

And now I'm trying to play catch-up from the time that I have had away from my business...a bit of a mistake, I think??

That's why I'm here participating in Kylie's Blog Hop, giving my blog some desperately needed CPR!!

So with this in mind, here is one of the projects that I have made this week. I found out that the mother of a friend was recently married to her partner of 21 years, during January & I loved the idea of making a card to celebrate the occasion.

 After using the hearts dies, I then ran one through the Beads & Baubles embossing folder & the other through the Country Floral embossing folder.

And the third embossing folder I used, for the back of the card, was the Subtle one, just to give a softer look, rather than the stark white of our beautiful Whisper White cardstock.

I then painted each of them using Wink of Stella, to give the hearts a little bit of glimmer & added the beautiful pearls for a touch of class.

Teaming the Silver Embossing powder, I stamped a sentiment from the Sending You Thoughts set, (available FREE during Salebration, ask me how) & mounted this.

So, of course, I JUST HAD to complete the 'set' & went ahead & made a card for 2 grooms & then a bride & groom.

 For each of these cards, I simply embossed Congratulatios inside.

 Here they all are, together, gosh Im happy with the simplicity of them!

And of course, I always dress up the envelope, Going back to the original card), the new wife s must have a tease of what lays inside, right?

For those interested, here is my Live video from last week, where you can see how I put this card together...
