Sometimes the most sweet and simple card is made with a single color.  For this card, I focused on the In Color Wisteria Wonder and paired it with the Just Believe stamp  set. It’s a beautiful pale purple that is elegant yet calming.  I added a few Pearl Accents in 3 different sizes for some instant elegance. In typical Stampin’ Up! fashion, the ink, card stock, and ribbon all match perfectly.  This matching of ink to card stock to ribbon is what inspired me to join Stampin’ Up! It’s great to purchase all of my matching supplies at a discount!

Here are more details on the supplies I used.  Please email me at sharon@stampingsharon.com if you have any questions.

I was very sad to see the Serif Essentials Alphabet die set on the retiring list.  I use these alphabet dies for notecards, scrapbook titles, banners, bag tags, and lots more!  

Once the new catalog comes out, I always sell my retired items.  I honestly can’t think of any retiring items that I won’t sell EXCEPT this alphabet set.  This alphabet die set will only be around until May 31, so don’t miss your opportunity if you like it as much as I do.

I love to make sets of 6-8 monogrammed notecards for gifts.  This monogram card also uses the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Riding Hood Red cardstock.  I love the elegance of the alphabet and this DSP.

Sweet and Simply,

My Sweet and Simple card today features the Fabulous Florets stamp set and two of the new In Colors: Gumball Green and Raspberry Ripple.  I love how these two new colors can be paired together.  I was amazed at how easy it was to stamp the main flower image using the new Stampin’ Up! foam ink pads.  The ink pads look the same but they now have a foam ink pad meaning the ink pads are juicier but not too juicy.  I only had to ink the image once for this solid flower image.

Here is a close-up:

I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up the flower and added the Pearls to finish off my sweet and simple card.  I can’t show you pictures of the new In Colors yet but here are the other supplies:

Have a great Friday!
