Simple Saturday: Simply Stars

001There’s a lot of “S” going on in that title isn’t there?  Let’s add “sneak” to that since this card also shows you a sneak peek!  I used the brand new Simply Stars stamp set on this little card.  I like that…Simply Stars for Simple Saturday!  Kind of fun!

I’m kind of getting into this Simple Saturday thing.  It’s fun trying to come up with a simple card.  I know I’ve mentioned this before but I do love the little notecards for making simple cards.  It makes it a lot easier to not use layers.  After I made this card with the congratulations on it I got to thinking that this would be a good thank you card too.  With the star and these colors wouldn’t it be a great card to send to someone in the military?  Next weekend is Memorial Day.  What a perfect way to say thank you for your service!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Simple Saturday: Another Label Love

004Another Saturday, another simple card!  Don’t you love it?  Designer paper sure comes in handy when making a simple card.

I used my favorite new Designer Paper, Gingham Garden, on this card.  You’ll find this gorgeous paper in the new catalog coming on May 31st.  I cut a panel of designer paper, mounted it on my favorite color, Melon Mambo and popped the whole thing up on a Daffodil Delight card.

The little sentiment label is from the new stamp set Label Love which you’ll also be able to check out in the new catalog!  I bet you can’t wait!  The only sad thing about this card is that the Melon Mambo Scallop Dot Ribbon won’t be in the new catalog.  🙁  I may have to stock up!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Another Simple Saturday!

006I’m getting better at simple cards….or should I say I’m getting better at CASEing simple cards?!  Ha!

This card was pretty easy, especially since I started with one of the notecards.  I’m really liking those little things!

I started by punching out the larger butterfly on the small piece of Whisper White card stock with the Elegant Butterfly Punch.  I stamped my sentiment and then adhered the designer paper to the back of the punched butterfly with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Add the Rich Razzleberry layer, the Bitty Butterfly and a brad.  That’s it!  I told you it was simple!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Simple Saturday: Label Love

028It’s time for a new feature that I hope you’ll enjoy.  It’s Simple Saturday!  Sometimes simple is the best.  I have to admit….I have a hard time with simple cards.  I love layers and embellishments!  I’ve found a new “tool” to help me with simple though.  It’s the Note Cards and Envelopes!  They’re great for simple because they’re smaller and I have less area I need to fill!  Ha!

For this cute and very simple card I used three new items that will be showing up in the new 2013-2014 Catalog!  I used the Label Love stamp set, the matching Artisan Label Punch, and the SO much fun new Gingham Garden Washi Tape.  I’ve never used Washi Tape before and I used it on three different cards as I was playing around yesterday.  It’s so much fun and easy to use! You’ll definitely have to try it!

Be sure to keep checking back for more sneak peeks at products from the new catalog.  I went crazy making samples yesterday! 😀  What did you think of Simple Saturday?  Is it helpful?  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
