Amazing Year simple birthday card

 Greetings!

Today's card is free of embellishments, die cuts, punches or any extra items other than inks, paper and stamps.  Yep, it's a simple stamping day.

The Amazing Year stamp set was one of the first stamp sets I had to have when the new annual catalog came out.  It has wonderful simple line art images and messages in a gorgeous font so nothing extra is needed to create a great card.  


Isn't it lovely!  The bouquet is so darn adorable, and it comes complete with it's own little tag off the stem wrap.  Nothing else is needed.

If you haven't tried the Stampin' Blends, this is a perfect time to add some to your cart and try them out. They come in pairs so you have a light and dark which makes it so easy to add in shading and color variation.  The bouquet in today's card is using only two Stampin' Blends colors and look how much variation there is.  They are alcohol based markers so they dry quickly, won't shred your paper, and don't show the lines or stop and start points the way traditional markers can.  You will love them!

Here's How It's Made:

Ink bouquet stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink, stamp in center of Basic White cardstock.  Color in flowers with Light and Dark Polished Pink Stampin' Blends, using dark to add shading on petals and around centers of flowers.  For shading, start by coloring whole area with light marker, then color over areas with dark to shade, then color over again with light to blend in more.  Color leaves with Light and Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends, coloring some with light and some with dark. Fill in stems with light and dark.  Outline inside of tag with Polished Pink - I used light.


Adhere completed bouquet cardstock panel onto Polished Pink cardstock, then adhere to Basic White Thick card base.

Here's what the inside looks like:


Ink "birthday wishes" stamp with Polished Pink and stamp on inside of card.  Ink "to a wonderful friend" and stamp below wishes.

You now have a completed card using only one stamp set, a couple ink colors and some Stampin' Blends for coloring!  How easy was this?  Adding a border around the focal point panel with a coordinating card stock gives it a lovely touch.  The Stampin' Blends come in almost every ink color, so you can switch it up and use whatever colors you want.  They offer so much versatility and make you feel like an artist.  Add them to your shopping cart today and take your coloring to a new level.

Essential Tools:

These are the tools I recommend  for a positive experience with all of your paper crafting projects.  Having the right tools makes every project go more smoothly from start to finish.

Product List
=============================================================

The Kits Collection is Buy One Get One 50% off all month long!  And...you get the higher priced one at the 50% off so make sure it's the second of the two you put into your cart.  You can order as many as you want, however, in order to make sure you get the BOGO price, each kit needs to be added individually.



What's so great about kits?  
  1. EVERYTHING is included - even the adhesives, so you don't need anything else to create the items featured in the kit.
  2. FANTASTIC illustrated directions are included for each project, including where to place the adhesive dots!
  3. OPTIONS some of the kits include stamping and some are stamping free!  Everything is die cut to be punched out and assembled so you have a successful experience.
  4. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY this is a great way to share your love of crafting with others.  Simply open the box, sort the products and follow the instructions.  Children and adults alike will have fun with these.
  5. PERFECT STORAGE no need to figure out how to keep your crafting area neat when not in use.  These boxes provide the perfect storage container for all your supplies so you can put it on the shelf or tuck it in a drawer until you're ready to use it again.
  6. GUARANTEED AVAILABILITY only the kits that are in stock are available on the website.  If it's temporarily unavailable you won't be able to order it, so no back orders or wondering when you'll receive it.  Because of this current availability only, you need to close your order once your kits are added.  If you want to come back to your order later, you will need to re-add the kits to your cart.
  7. GREAT GIFT this is a great gift idea to not only give to someone, but to share with them next time you are together.  My daughter-in-law loves to have cards on hand for thank yous and birthdays and what better way to give her both and spend time making them with her as well.  It's a gift for both the giver and the receiver :-).
