I love to feature Simple & Stepped Up Stamping most weeks on my Thursday Facebook Lives. It's a great way to help new stampers with a beginner card and then step it up just a bit by adding a little something. The Stepped Up version appeals to casual stampers as well as those of us who stamp every week!
Each month Stampin' Up! gives us a #simplestamping challenge and for March it is:
- Stamps
- Ink
- Paper
- Embellisment
Today's beginner card uses In Bloom stamp set which is a real bargain for just $17. It is so versatile, and I absolutely love the bold, pretty greetings. For today's #simplestamping card I chose a bright, bold color scheme resulting in a card with a feminine, modern look that especially appeals to young girls and women.
For the second card I added in some of the die-cuts to step up the card just a bit. Pierced Blooms dies are extremely versatile, just like their coordinating stamp set. These items are NOT at bundle price because they were introduced in a previous catalog. Nevertheless, they are great value, and super fun to play and create with!
