People are always asking me for "simple" card designs. I think that means designing a card that is not too difficult to make, but which looks like you spent hours on it. Keeping that in mind, I came up with this Clean Design with Delightful Decorations stamp set.
The main design is a set of 3 stamped ornaments from the Delightful Decorations stamp set. They are stamped "randomly" – that is, not in a line or at the same angle as each other. Basically, perfect for the new or busy stamper!
Before stamping the ornaments, however, I drew a wavy line across the Whisper White card stock with a Stampin' Write Marker. I added a few little "loops" along this line. Then I stamped the ornaments. It didn't matter how much they overlapped the hand-drawn line. Now that's simple stamping!
The card base is Sahara Sand. I added 2 layers of Cherry Cobbler card stock, separating those layers with 4 Stampin' Dimensionals. I used another 4 Stampin' Dimensionals to add the Whisper White card stock on top.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes, punched it out with the Word Window Punch, and then mounted it on Cherry Cobbler card stock punched with the Modern Label Punch.
I think I like this card enough to use it for my family's holiday card this year! It just appeals to me – this Clean Design with Delightful Decorations!
The best part is that it doesn’t need to be straight. The curvier the better. Really!!
This is great! But I don’t think I’d have the nerve (or steadiness) to free-hand much of anything! You make it look easy! Love the little loop/bow detail!
