Simply Saturday… simply happiness

A simple, spring flavored card to share with you today. I’m so in love with January’s Freesia Stamp of the Month combo that I don’t want to put it down. Whether you want to create simple but stunning cards stamped monochromatically, or make more ornate designs…this stamp does it all. When I first saw a peek of what this stamp would be, I just knew I wanted to try stamping a tone on tone background with it and that is what I’ve done in this design. Actually…now that I think of it, this card design is not only simple, it also only uses two ink pads, three colors of cardstock and one single brad. If you’re looking for this gorgeous stamp combo, you can find it here.

Wild winter temps are moving back into Ontario so I’m bundling up at home today and enjoying dreaming of Spring!

One Happiness

Quick Tip: Stock up on classic cardstock colors that you use often so you never run out. At the top of my must-haves Simply Smooth white, Kraft, black and a dark brown. Close behind are my favorite accent colors….Spring Willow Light, Blush Red Dark, Frosted Teal by Prism.

Have a simply wonderful day!
