Just a little-bit-late...

I sometimes have a hard time getting my act together to send birthday cards on time,

 so this stamp is perfect for me and my crafting! 

 I'm loving the Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper! 

 Not a color combo that I'd typically be drawn to...

 but Purple Posy is one of my favorites.

Celebrating 2020-2022 In Colors

Here's a very simple card to make when you need a birthday card ASAP!  Featuring four of the 2020-2022 In Colors and one of my favorite stamp sets Beautiful Friendship, it can't get much simpler!  I used the "stamp-off" technique for the roses...ink up the stamp, stamp on scrap paper, and then stamp on your cardstock to get a lighter shade of the ink color.  The stamens are full strength.

I absolutely LOVE this year's In Colors!  They work so well together and are a great addition to the other color families.  If you'd like to get a sampler of 2020-2022 In Color cardstock and accessories...contact me to participate in my 2020-2022 In Color Share:

Double Wonder!

I was able to make 11 cards in under 10 minutes per card and it cost me way less than $10!  It was a perk of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in the Great Lakes Region.  Our awesome Demonstrator Development Manager, Shannon West,  hosted a Facebook Live a couple of weeks ago and we all created cards based off of the Double Wonder concept.  The cards above are my first batch.  The cards featured below are my second batch.  Are you interested in making quick cards to send to family, friends, and anyone who needs a little hello?  I'll be walking through the how-to's during my own Facebook Live on Tuesday, April 21 at 7:00 pm.  Join me on FB @SimplySheStamps

You can participate by using your own supplies that you already have or sign up to get the supplies for Magnolia Blooms version shown below for just $5 if you live locally (you will need your own stamps and ink and ribbon may be slightly different).  If you'd like to create with me and need supplies, you'll find the list of what you need down below.  Instructions will be posted here before LIVE event.

Here is the template for cutting your 6x12 piece of DSP!

Section 1 (far left): slice at 4-1/2" then cut into 3 strips 1-1/2" wide, and finally cut those in half at 3" so you have 12 strips that are 1-1/2" x 3". Also need 4 pieces of Whisper White that are 5" x 3-1/4".

Section 2 (middle): slice at 4" then trim 3/4" from the top and set aside. Then cut into 4 strips 1" wide so you have 8 strips that are 1" x 5-1/4". Piece set aside (use with 3rd section) is 4" x 3/4".

Section 3 (far right): from bottom cut 2-1/4" and again 2-1/4". You have 4 pieces that are 3-1/2" x 2-1/4" and two leftover pieces that are 3-1-2" x 1-1/2". Cut those in half, you'll have 4 pieces that are 1-3/4" x 1-1/2"...for bonus card.
