Perfectly Preserved K.I.S.S.

It's Keep It Simple Saturday (K.I.S.S.) and what is more simple than a mason jar of wild flowers.  The Perfectly Preserved stamp set creates such great images that you can keep it simple and it works!

 

The Sahara Sand card base has been distressed by dragging a Whisper White ink pad over it.  The greeting comes from the Bring on the Cake stamp set.  A bow of Linen Thread finishes it off!

I created this card to play along with a creative challenge in my Icy Inkers Downline Team.  The color interpretation: Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, Sahara Sand and Whisper White.

I hope you enjoy this simple card.  Does this creative challenge inspire you?  If so, and if you create something inspired by this photo, email me a picture!!

Have a wonderful weekend.

 

Hearts a Flutter K.I.S.S.

Welcome to Keep It Simple Saturday (K.I.S.S.) which features the Hearts a Flutter stamp set!  Super clean and simple today!

The colors are (top to bottom): Wisteria Wonder, Pool Party and Island Indigo.  Coordinating Baker's Twine set off the three hearts that were stamped using the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and die cut with the Hearts a Flutter Framelits.  They are "popped" with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The "Love You" greeting comes from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set.  I inked it using a marker so that I omitted the frame.

Hope you like this little something simple.  For another clean and simple AND quick idea.

Sympathy K.I.S.S.

Welcome to Keep It Simple Saturday (K.I.S.S.).  This week I have clean and simple sympathy cards for you.

I used the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set and Heat Embossed the images using VersaMark and Early Espresso Ink Pads with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder.  There are two horizontal score lines (done with Simply Scored Tool) between the stamped images and the Very Vanilla Brads.  *Sorry the photo doesn't show the lines well*  Thank you to Benz for your inspiration for this card. 

It's never fun to have to create Sympathy cards but a Clean and Simple style always works well.

Have a great weekend.

A K.I.S.S. Awash With Flowers!

It's your Keep It Simple Saturday (K.I.S.S.) project!  Today's card features the Awash With Flowers stamp set and a type of Chalkboard Pastels technique. 

Now, typically with the Chalkboard Pastels Technique - you pounce your Stampin' Pastels on top of the Whisper White Craft Ink stamped image to color the ink.  On this project, I chose to just color in the outlined flower images.

 

A bit of texture was added to the Daffodil Delight panel using the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  You can receive the Stripes Embossing Folder FREE during Sale-a-Bration!!
