Welcome to this month’s Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop
This month’s Theme is Occasions
For my project this month I wanted to make a simple card for any occasion. I decided to use the card that I made for my Saturday Scrapbook Challenge. Each month I share a scrapbook layout and the following week I share my scrapbook layout. The following week’s I share a simple card for any occasion and then a stepped up card with ribbon, embellishments, die cuts etc.
July’s Scrapbook Layout which I used for my simple card for any occasion
How I made my simple card for any occasion
I started by cutting a 12×12 sheet of card stock in half at 6″ and then scored both pieces at 6″ to make two card bases. One for the simple occasion card and one for a stepped up card.
Next I stamped the flowers from the Colour and Contour stamp set into Basic White card stock using Basic Gray ink. I chose Basic Gray ink as it is does not give a harsh outline as Black Memento ink would.
I then added the stamped solid images to the flowers using Highland Heather and Pale Papaya ink.
Next I chose to use the You’re Absolutely Amazing for the sentiment as it could be used for any occasion. I stamped it using Basic Gray ink. I then cut my mat layers using Smoky Slate card stock and stuck the stamped layers onto each mat layer. Finally I then stuck the mat layers onto the base card and my simple card for any occasion was complete.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing my simple card for any occasion and why not have a go at using the layout to make your own cards.
Until next time, keep stampin n crafting,
