Hello Friends,

In honor of Martin Luther King  and his I Have a Dream speech, I've made a simple, but sweet Make Your Dreams Happen Card.  The sentiment is from the Sunny Days Stamp.  I stamped on vellum so that you could see the fun patterns and shapes through the sentiment.  The Hearts are the Be Mine Framelits Dies and the happy Designer Paper is Gingham Gala Designer Paper from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.

Stamping on Vellum Tip

Because vellum is a nonporous surface, the ink will dry considerably slower so drying your ink with a heat or setting it aside to dry is a good idea.  Stazon ink is also made for stamping on non-porous surfaces.

For a patriot feel, today's colors are Real Red, Blueberry Bushel, Balmy Blue and Whisper White.  For more inspiration using the Be Mine Framelits Dies check out the 2 posts below.

Hello Friends,

Are you new to stamping and Card Making?  Or have you been around the block a few times, but still prefer the quick and simple, Back to Basics type cards?  You like to stamp, but your time is limited.  Simply seeing what happens when you combine stamps, ink and paper brings you joy.  If that's you, stop back every Tuesday for a Simple Stamping project here at Stamping Country.

One of my very favorite stamp sets for Simple Stamping is the Wishing You Well stamp set.  I especially like to stamp the bow.  Tap, tap, tap your stamp to your ink pad, apply to your paper and watch the magic.  The Wishing You Well bow almost looks 3-D.

Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad

Soft Suede Ink Pad

Z Fold Card

This card may look fancy and complicated, but it's not.  With just one extra score line, you can make a Z-Fold Card.  Cut your Card Base 4-1/4" x 11" and score at 5-1/2" and 2-3/4".  Fold as shown above to make a Z.  The front panel is simple a 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" piece of Whisper White Card Stock and a 3-3/4" x 2-3/4" piece of Coastal Cabana Card Stock.

The rest is just Simple Stamping.   But swing your card open and it's a real Wow!

Hello Friends,

If you love to stamp, you'll love the Waterfront stamp set.  Grab some ink.  You can't go wrong.  The Waterfront stamp set is a stamper's dream.  And...some of your other favorite stamp sets such as Lovely As A Tree, Winter Woods and Rooted in Nature play nicely with the Waterfront stamp set to make an even better scene!  Today, I paired it with the Rooted in Nature stamp set.

For today's card, I started with some Soft Suede ink and stamped some  mountains and then I continued stamping around them.  There's so many different possibilities.  Your card will look different every time you stamp!

What do you think?  Would you like to see a video tutorial using this stamp set?

Can you name all the colors used on today's card?  Here they are in no particular order: Soft Suede, Whisper White, Mossy Meadow, Garden Green, Powder Pink, Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, So Saffron and Tuxedo Black.

This Week's Freshly Made Sketches card sketch inspired me to cut my stamped scene into 3 panels to create what looks like a panoramic arrangement of photos.
