Stamping Made Easy

We all like to be creative.  I know I do, I enjoy card making, basket weaving, and cross stitch. Card making for me is the most satisfying and the most intimidating at the same time.  At times I just need to step back and simplify.  I did that over the weekend when I created two simply stamped cards.  Just paper, ink and stamps.  Two stamps sets, 4 inks pads and a set of Stampin' Up! Note Cards and Envelopes.  


Flowering Desert

We are surrounded by the Prickly Pear cactus in North Texas, it is almost time for the yellow flowers to bloom.  They don's last long, but are beautiful mixed in with Mesquite trees. 

Painted Seasons

This card was so easy.  Isn't that Painted Seasons Distinktive stamp beautiful?  The Painted Seasons Stamps set along with coordinating DSP is part of a bundle you can choose for FREE during Sale-A-Bration.  You better hurry Sale-A-Bration ends in 6 days!!!



It was truly enjoyable to create with just ink, stamps and paper.  No scissors, no glue, not layers, how simple and portable. Hope I have inspired you to do some simple and relaxing stamping.

Flowering Desert - Clear Block Stamping

Welcome Crafty Friends!!   Today's projects is a card featuring the Flowering Desert stamp set from the Occasions Catalog.  As a person living in North Texas we have lots of Prickly Pear cactus around here.  In my neighborhood folks have cactus in their flower beds.  
  Measurements:
Soft Suede base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 
Crushed Curry 5 1/4 x 4
Cajun Craze 5 1/8 x 3 7/8
Shimmery White 5 x 3 3/4
Wood Textures DSP 4 x 7/8 (sentiment)
Whisper White liner 5 1/2 x 4 
Ink:
Soft Suede

Technique Tip:  I used my Crushed Curry, Blushing Bride and Cajun Craze Stampin Markers to layer ink on my Clear Block size "D", spritzed the block with water then plopped the block on my Shimmery White cardstock.  Color Block stamping is one of my favorite techniques to add background color to a card, I have used it many times. Keep in mind that you cannot be in a hurry when use the Clear Block stamping technique, the paper needs to dry a bit before you start stamping other images because they could smear or run.  Also Shimmery White cardstock or Watercolor paper are the best for this type of application.
