Hello my stamping friends. Are you ready to see how to keep it simple in card making? I have 4 different cards to share, each using different stamps but the principle is the same–keep it simple! These cards fall into my SIP style of cards (Stamps, Ink & Paper)–basic supplies that give you fabulous DIY cards!
The one thing that is the same across all 4 cards are these adorable Scalloped Notecards. They come in a package with all 4 colors. When I starting creating today, I just cut a stack of Whisper White card stock that was 4 1/2″ x 2 3/4″ and started grabbing different stamp sets and colors. My goal was to use big bold images that did not require any coloring.
Keep It Simple in Card Making
The video will give you lots of tips for all 4 cards and how you can combine different stamp sets to get the look you want.

Love the SIP cards Jackie. Thanks for sharing with us. Why not make a stack of cards for all the shut-ins at nursing homes? I plan on making Easter ones today.
That’s a great idea Dorothy!

I wanted to order the stampin’ blends that are going to be discontinued in the next catalog, but I can’t find Blueberry Bushel or Grapefruit Grove. Are they out of stock or what?
Sincerely
Dianne
The blueberry bushel and grapefruit grove were never available in the Stampin’ Blends. They ARE available as our regular markers if you want to buy the pack here
Jackie. I think these are all great ideas. I know its gonna take time for me to catch on, but I’ll do the best I can for an “Elder Stamper”. LOL 😆
Go at your own pace and enjoy the journey–that’s the most important thing!
