"Forever Fern" #simplestamping, April 6, 2021 "Tuesdays At Two"

Hey friends! Spring has finally sprung! This past week we broke a record temp for April, 85 degrees! And yesterday during my video, it started thundering and I was just hoping that the rain would hold off until I finished my FB Live since I had all my windows open! And it did! Praise God!

Stampin' Up!© has a monthly card challenge called #simplestamping where you make a simple card with just paper, ink and stamps. It wasn't my intent when making this card. My inspiration was actually a card I received from Joyce Meyer Ministries. Where do you get your inspiration from? Sometimes for me, it's something I see in a store or even in my neighborhood.

This is yesterdays card, and it uses a simple masking technique. The colors I used in the card are "Pretty Peacock" (a 2019 - 2021 In Color, which is retiring), "Crumb Cake", "Garden Green" and "Just Jade" (a 2020 - 2022 In Color). The sentiment is from the "Sweet Ice Cream" stamp set. I love the HUGE "Happy Birthday" it also has a great "Thank You" about the same size.

The dies are beautiful, leaves. I like to see how they look die cut, before I buy, so here's a sample of all the dies. The little group of leaves has a die and also a mirror die that does not have a coordinating stamps, but there are techniques on how create that.

Here are other cards samples that I shared yesterday. Two of the embossing folders that I used, will be retiring and they are two of my favorites, "Subtles" and "Scripty".

Three of these are very simple cards and I love that simplicity. I also used left over pieces from other cards in the bottom two cards.

The top right cards uses the "Stitched So Sweetly" dies (and sadly is retiring) and this is one of my favorites and uses the beautiful, coordinating "Forever Greenery" DSP. A simple and quick card.

The top, left card uses the "Tasteful Textile" embossing folder as the background layer.

Here is yesterday's video, if the video does not appear on your mobile device click this link:

All the supplies used in these 5 cards will be listed below for your convenience. If an item is retiring an "R" will be next to the item number. Unfortunately it appears that the "Pretty Peacock" paper and ink supplies are already depleted. 😞
