Your Biggest Fan – Simple Stamping

Even if your cards are simple, they can still have a significant impact. Take some time this week to make a few simple cards and send them to friends. No matter what you make, a card made with love is sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.

This week, our cards highlight the adorable Your Biggest Fan Bundle. For our Hooray card, we stamped the same image multiple times in Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, and Daffodil Delight on Basic White cardstock. We stamped some speckles onto the Balmy Blue cardstock and layered it with a piece of You’re a Peach 12″ X 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper. We finished with a few Resin Stars for a twinkle.

For our Hourra card, we stamped in So Saffron ink on So Saffron cardstock for a tone-on-tone look. We added texture with So Saffron patterns from the Subtles 6″ x 6″ (15.2 X 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper Assortment. We loved how bright this card turned out, especially when we added some color with our sentiment. We think that finishing with Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ Dimensionals was the perfect combination to add different levels to the card.

Our Hurra card turned out so cute, and it was so easy to make! We stamped out the sentiment three times, then we die cut some Stitch Stars in So Saffron, Balmy Blue, and Calypso Coral to match our sentiment colors. We assembled everything on Subtles Designer Series Paper Assortment and used a bit of Baker’s Twine to finish it all off.
