Here you go….SIMPLE it is today! Just call me “Simple Susan” – it doesn’t get any simpler than this! This weekend post might “DEFLATE” many of you but I hope that you can see the FUN way you can say thanks to someone!
The 2 stamps that I am showcasing today are the SUPER FABULOUS Watercolor Thanks Single Stamp (which is going bye-bye) and the Work of Art that has made it in the catalog for the next year!
You all know that Polka Dots make me smile so naturally this card makes me smile. It is a super simple one layer card that brings you back to your childhood with playing with paint and making “Ink Dots” – (I think that there are coloring books that you can dab ink in dots – sounds like great therapy!!!)
When you break down this stamp set…you can see the possibilities of making true works of Art….plus there is great sentiments!
The card size is a note card size and yep…I love them. I still find myself scratching my head why many of you do not like them. They are made from the thick cardstock and already pre-scored and have envelopes….20 for just $6.00, I ask you – how can you go wrong!?!?
There is not much to tell you about the ins and outs of this card as it is very obviously easy…but I encourage you to have FUN picking colors and try to stretch yourself and play with new color combinations.
Let’s go back and chat about this single stamp. You need it. It is a keeper. It is a classic. It is still available (well the last time I checked) and for just $9.00 you will thank me for nudging you to purchase this!
You have heard me say before that there are some stamps that would not leave Randall Lane, this is one of them. I truly love it and I wish that you could see how inked up the wood block is that it is on. (I like to say that this is a sign of being well-loved) 🙂
My feelings are…if there is something that you love…then why not use it over and over again? It’s kind of like clothes…the longer you keep them around, the better chance they will come back in style!!!!
Please make sure that you check out the retired and clearance racks. When May 31st comes – they are gone and please do not make the mistake in thinking that the retired stuff will just go to clearance…it usually does not work that way! I say if you want it – GET IT…..if it doesn’t make your heart pitter patter…..that’s great to – Go get inky with some toys you have!!!!
Stampin’ hugs….
p.s. – please do not forget to use the hostess code found on the upper right of my blog to be able to have me send you a handmade card ($35.00+) order or both – a roll of Tear-n-Tape and the card with a ($75.00)+ order!
How fun! Yep, I snatched up that Thank You stamp when the retired list came out. I am thinking a set of the single layer notecards would make up great gifts.
Simple yet so effective! Your color combo really comes together nicely. I agree with Pam…note cards make great gifts. Hugs!
Love your choice of colors. This card has me thinking of ways to step it up already. I can’t wait to see what you do tomorrow. Hope the high seas are treating you royally!!!!! Enjoy!!!!
Love this card ! Love the colors and I am a Polka Dot lover also .
Enjoy Spain ! I lived there for two months and LOVED it !
I agree about the retirement of those Envelope Liners ….WHY ????
I love this simple card. I have been trying to play around and stamp more of my own backgrounds. Your circles are really cute. Will keep them in mind.
Simplicity always works for me. I think the colors you chose really take this card up a notch. Love the notecards. A great deal in my book too!
I always forget about the circle stamp in the Work Of Art set. I really like this card…it’s fun, bright, and quick.
Fun card. I had to look to see what the one color was – it was the Mint Macaron! It looks different using it with the other two. I love the note cards and wished they had come up with more colors this year. So easy to use (when I can find them!) and smaller so you don’t have to worry about adding a lot of details or a big note. This will be so much fun to try different colors with. Well,. off to see what words are in the Watercolor Words set – a “Just Because” would be a fun one to use on these too!
