A simple hello for you on Make It Mine Monday. Once again, the simplicity of a card caught my eye. I have trouble recreating simplicity, but I like it. As the banner above the photo says, this card was created using Stampin’ Up!’s Dressed To Impress stamp set. This fun stamp set is quite “girly”. The coordinating All Dressed Up dies die cut some of the images and also has dies that you can create a 3D purse with.
I love the white on white that Kim did on this card with her layers with just the subtle pink dots to set them apart. That is what made me want to recreate her card.
Of course when I started my creative process things didn’t turn out quite as simple as I wanted.
To start with, I didn’t want to use the “fabulous” portion of the “hello fabulous” stamp so I masked that portion of the stamp before inking it up. I also wanted to use a die that fit around my images a little closer so as not to leave quite as much white space. The Hippo & Friends dies fit worked perfectly and I was able to layer my stamped images.
The flowers on my card are colored with the Polished Pink and Just Jade Stampin’ Blend Markers so those are the colors I used on the rest of the card. The larger label is embossed with the Tasteful Texture 3D Embossing Folder. To really change up my card from Kim’s I used a Just Jade card base instead of Basic White.
Even though I changed quite a bit about Kim’s card, I do love hers. One of these days I will figure out simple stamping. How do you do with simple stamping? If you’ve got the hang of it I’d love to see some of your projects.
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
