Hard to believe it’s the last weekend of summer before Labor Day . . . not quite the summer we may have originally planned for, hopefully next year will be better!
Today I thought I would share two #simplestamping cards with you to celebrate the weekend. These cards only use paper, ink and one stamp set for each, not every card needs numerous layers, die cuts and stamp sets to create.
Both cards have Thick Whisper White card stock 4¼” x 11″, scored at 5½” (top folding card) and use the same ink colors:
- Crumb Cake
- Sahara Sand
- Balmy Blue
- So Saffron
- Flirty Flamingo
- Pear Pizzazz
My first card features the stamp set Timeless Tropical and has a background created by of all things makeup brushes (which can be purchased from Amazon or your local big box store). I’ve lightly brushed color over the card front to look like a sandy beach, water and sunset sky. Next I inked the palm tree and stamped the image on the bottom left and greeting on the top right. I’ve stamped a flower from the stamp set on the inside to tie inside and outside together.
The second card features the stamp set Waterfront for all images and the greeting, same colors from the card above where used. For the houses, to get a darker image and since the stamp set is photopolymer I stamped over the image twice. Inside has a set of trees just like the front on the lower right corner.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope this project has inspired you to try paper crafting. Have a great day – Craft On!
