Clean and Simple Stamping with Timeless Charm!

Hello Everyone,

We’re going back to basics, with some simple Stampin’ today.

I’m also going to try a show some of the stamp sets that will retire when the new Annual Catalogue goes live in May.

Today, I’m using Timeless Charm today.

I like the way this set can make a watercolour-style background behind the sentiment.

Super easy to do….

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

No dies or punches used today either, but of course you can use whatever you want.

Here’s a blue version … Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky!

Both cards just had a few metallic pearls added – that’s it!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Fun Hello Card featuring the Just My Type Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

This stamp set has been sat on my shelf for a little while and today I’m finally creating with it!

I’ve used some warm neutral tones to make this sample. The combination of Wild Wheat and Copper Clay with Early Espresso made a really fab looking card!

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

For the original sample I used all the 2022 In Colours!

These colours will retire when the new annual catalogue is published later this year, so don’t miss out stocking up on cardstock and ink refills!

Here’s a bonus card using up the extra letters from the stamp set!

I hope you enjoyed this project.
