One thing that I have learned since I started stamping and scrapbooking is that sometimes simple is best. I know that in life I sometimes have the problem of complicating things or making something into more than it needs to be (don't we all?!). So at times I like to step back and create a simple project. This 6x6 page and card shows the versatility of how you can create two totally different projects using the exact same supplies. This was a make and take project I demoed for a workshop, they could choose what version they wanted to make. I absolutely love how the colours Kraft and Riding Hood Red go together, definately a combination I will miss when the current In Colours retire in less than a week! So I wanted to showcase another project with some retiring items-remember to check the Last Chance list as it updates daily and some accessories are already sold out.
For both the scrap page and card I started with a 6x6 piece of Kraft cardstock, 2x6 piece of Candy Lane Designer series paper and scraps of Very Vanilla to stamp images on that would be cut out or punched out. The heart image was stamped in Riding Hood Red and then Close to Cocoa then cut out with paper snips, the red one is attached with dimesionals for a popped up effect. Seriously these scissors will cut even the tiniest of details. The words were also stamped twice;once in Close To Cocoa and punched out with the Large Oval and then again with Pink Piroette. This time just the heart was punched out with the 1/2" circle and attached with a dimensional. Really simple projects, but cute just the same.
My challenge to all of you is to try something simple, you maybe surprisingly pleased with what you create. Wishing everyone a wonderful day! I'm off to finish working on one of my USTAMP projects.
