Simple Stamped Greeting Cards

Today I'm sharing some simple cards I made using some stamps I have from Studio Calico. I keep buying stamps, putting them in a pile and then never using them. I made it a point to try and use some of them in different ways, and make a few simple cards with just stamps. I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out.

This card was made using this stamp set from Studio Calico. Unfortunately it's sold out, but It's so cute! I wanted it to just be simple, so I stuck to two sentiments and the tomato stamp. I love that it comes with the little face stamp, and a die so you could cut it out after you stamp it.

Pears don't really have one color, but it was nearly impossible for me to get the yellow-y/green color of the pear without it looking like a pile of poop. I added a simple "perfect pair" sentiment, but the addition of a "congratulations" would also have been a nice addition.

This card was made using the stamp set from this add-on, also from Studio Calico. I stamped the hello circle, and then took the "one thousand good night kisses" stamp and a scrap of cardstock that I cut to fit over the sentiment, and stamped the circles around the hello. I added some Heidi Swapp mist to finish off the card.

I used the triangle stamp from the stamp set above, and a thank you stamp from my stash to create this card. I love that the thank you stands out against the simple background.

Thanks for coming by to see these cards. I hope you liked them.
I'd love to see what you do with just stamps. Feel free to leave links to your projects in the comments!

Have a great day!

Quick & Simple Sympathy Cards

Good morning! Today I'm sharing some super simple Sympathy cards. I whipped these up in about an hour, after I figured out what I was doing, and the colours I wanted to use. I hate making sympathy cards because death is extremely sad, no matter how well you did or did not know someone. I prefer to make cards for happy occasions like birthdays, babies, etc. 

I did a similar style of this a year and a half ago, when I first started this blog. Today I'm going to share the measurements so you can make them yourself! (I'd make a sketch, but I have no idea how to, without drawing it out by hand)

The card base is 4x4, and if you cut a piece of 12x12 paper just right, you can get four cards out of it! Bonus right? The grey paper on the left is 2"x3 3/4". The YEllow Flower paper is 1 5/16" x 1 7/16". The thin yellow strip with the white gems on it is 1 5/16 x 1/4. The little white tag is 1 1/2" x 2 3/4".

Happy crafting! Thanks for coming by to check out these cards. I'd love to see what you make with them! Have a great day!
