Simple yet Stunning Sunday with Two Wonderful Set Combinations

 Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my Simple yet Stunning Sunday post. Today I'm happy to share two wonderful note card sized cards with two of the stamp sets I really like that are on the Last Chance sale by Stampin' Up!

Two sets that I really like include the Comfort & Hope Stamp set and Loyal Leaves Stamp set. The Comfort & Hope Stamp set is perfect to combine with other stamp sets. It is very versatile. 

I used the White Note Cards with Envelopes for the cards I created today. It's so simple to have these for easy stamping. Just the note cards, ink, and stamps. This first note card was created using Crumb Cake ink. I love the neutral color. You can get different tones of the color by inking the stamp, and then stamping on a mat before stamping on the cardstock (also known as stamp off). 

To add that "stunning" look to your cards, be sure to add that touch of "bling" using the Champagne Rhinestones or the Basic Jewel Rhinestones. Depending on your ink choices, it's great to have more than one choice of Rhinestones.

One thing about simple stamping, is that you can create so many wonderful cards by just changing your color of ink. I created almost the same card using Seaside Spray ink. It really gives a whole new look. I cut the stem off the gingko leave by accident, but I think it works.  

You can check out my video and create along with me. I'd love to have you subscribe to my channel.

Make it Monday with Comfort & Hope

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my Make it Monday post. Today I wanted to share a project using the Comfort & Hope Stamp set by Stampin' Up! This is a wonderful set to use to send someone get well wishes. It is also a great set to combine with other stamp sets.

For this card, I combined the Comfort and Hope set with the Blossoms in Bloom Stamp set. I love the way the grid stamp is lightly in the background and the flowers are beautiful! I especially like the color combination of Bumblebee and Cinnamon Cider. The Rococo Rose little flowers add a nice touch.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you have enjoyed my quick post today. If you would like to purchase any of the products shared today or ones from your wish list, it is perfect for the Bonus Days that is going on now.

I would suggest this set and the Blossoms in Bloom Bundle which puts you over the $50 threshold for a Bonus Coupon. You could add a couple packs of cardstock and earn 2 Bonus Coupons. It's a win/win!
