-Very Vanilla cardstock for the card base
-3 x4 piece of wood texture DSP
- soft Suede Stampin ink pad
- heart dies I used my retired Stampin Up dies. If you don’t have heart dies the BeMine Stitched
Framelits would be worth getting.

Directions:
1. Glue the Wood Texture DSP layer to the card front
2. Glue heart onto the DSP layer

Here is another version of the card using Early Espresso as he layering piece.

Let it Ride casual stamper/Monday updates

 Good evening. Had another fun weekend of agility with my dogs. I was hoping to get this posted Sunday but fell asleep.
This card is a sample of casual stamping. It’s taking simple stamping and adding to it. I stamped the images on a piece of very vanilla cardstock cut from rectangle Framelits. Then mounted this on a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock cut rom a larger rectangle Framelits. I then glued this on a very vanilla cardbase .

This card is a sample of avid stamper. I stepped it up by using a die I have in my stash, and wood textures DSP.
All these examples show that you can create with what you have and do not have to have everything to make beautiful cards. Creating with what you have is what I like about crafting. It’s all good.
Sale-A-Bration continues. Earn free stuff with every 50$ you spend.  Also Paper Pumpkin subscriptions can earn you free stuff as well.

Let it Ride #simple stamping

Happy Friday. You’ve probably seen cards defined as #simple stamping and may have wondered what it is. Stampin Up has defined 3 levels of stamping:
Beginners-  A new stamper wanting to try something simple and easy.
Casual-  Someone more experienced and ready to try some new things
Avid- Experienced stamper also known as a collector who loves collecting new stamps, paper and craft tools then using these in their creations(me!).
 What kind of stamper are you? Let me know.

The above card is an example of  a Beginner card hence #simplestamping. This stamp set Let it ride is a beautiful representation of horses. One of the best horse set I’ve seen. Materials used:
Card base- very vanilla cardstock
Stamp set- Let it Ride
Mossy Meadow Stampin pad
Soft Suede Stampin pad
You can order these from my website. Use the host code J96WWRT9 for orders less than 150$.
Hope you have a great weekend. I will post a sample of casual stamper and avid stamper on Sunday.
