The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - There is Always Something to be Thankful For CAS Card

Hello and happy Friday! Today, I have another CAS (Clean And Simple) Fall card to share with you using one of the new Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Welcome Home SS-020.

Here is the card I designed. Check out these beautiful papers from Bo Bunny - Dreams of Autumn! All of the papers in this collection are so pretty and I love the little touches of turquoise and purple in the papers too. The little foxes are so adorable! I used a white A2 card base and added a piece of the pattern paper to the front of the card. Then I used a couple more patterns of paper and layered them together. I used the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp the sentiments from the Welcome Home stamp set. I stamped the word Thankful three times going across the front to create a word border. Then I added three colors of the May Arts Burlap String - Brown, Purple, Yellow and wrapped the center of the card. I looped the ends of the burlap string and then added a Petaloo Botanical Collection Purple Baby Blooms flower to the center.

Here is a close up of the card. I added a few Simple Stories Enchanted Enamel Dots for embellishments. To finish off the card I added some Foam Tape in between the paper layers.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed the CAS card. If you would like to see more card inspiration I encourage you to check out the Stamp Simply Blog. All supplies used to create the card can be found at

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Heidi

2017 FALL Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Here is a look at the card I designed for the 2017 FALL Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. You are also getting a sneak peek of the NEW Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Welcome Fall SS-020 and Stamp Simply Steel Dies - Welcome Fall Pumpkin SS-DIE009. I also used a couple of the coffee cup images and part of a sentiment from the Altenew - Coffee Love stamp set. I love being able to stretch my stamps or use multiple stamps to create something new and that is what I did for the sentiment on this card.

Using the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform makes it so easy to use multiple stamps and create your own unique images or sentiments. To do this you can use a post-it note or even just a piece of paper. Cover up the part of the stamp that you don't want to ink. Then, ink up the other part of the stamp, remove the inky paper piece and stamp as usual.

You can see here I only inked up the part of the sentiment that says I love you more than with Memento Tuxedo Black. This is a great sentiment because you can add so many different this after the word than to create unique and personalized sentiments.

Next I lined up the stamp from Welcome Fall SS-020. I repeated the same process by covering part of the stamp, adding the ink, remove the paper and stamp. On my card I used Altenew Warm and Cozy (Orange Cream) for the pumpkin spice part of the sentiment but in the photo I used black ink so it would show up better. I repeated the same process for the word spice.

Here you can see a close up of the finished sentiment. I inked the edges of the paper using a Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool and Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Vintage Photo. I added My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart Enamel Dots for embellishments and to pull in some of the aqua blue color from the pattern papers.

Here is a close up of the images. I used Copic markers for all of the coloring. I fussy cut the coffee cups and added some Foam Tape to the back. I used the coordinating die for the pumpkin and I added two layers of foam tape to the pumpkin.

All of the pattern paper is from the Bo Bunny Dreams of Autumn collection. I used a white A2 top folding card base. I hope you enjoyed today's card share!
