I can’t wait to show you the What’s Cookin’ Bundle. This is my sixth week straight of blogging every day! It makes me so happy. I love what I do, and now I get to share it with you every day. Here we are, Sunday again. Every Sunday will be Simple Stamping Sunday. I am not a simple stamper. I like lots of layers, bling, ink colors, die cuts, and ribbons. You get the idea! I have been stamping for over 20 years, and I sometimes forget what it was like to start. It is Simple Stamping Sunday, and that means… I am posting a simple stamping project. And by that I mean, only using stamps, ink, and paper. Basic projects that anyone can do. They won’t have to own half the Stampin’ Up! catalog to make them! LOL! Sometimes it is nice to go back to how you began.
This card is a Simple Stamped card. Let’s call it a Beginner Card. It uses only stamps, ink, and paper. I used the What’s Cookin’ Stamp Set, Misty Moonlight Cardstock for the base, and accented with Soft Suede and Crumb Cake Cardstock. The inks used were Misty Moonlight, Soft Suede, and Crumb Cake Classic Inks. It is simple and clean. Although this card is simple, it is so pretty. Check out the close-ups.
Looking at a closer view of the card. You can see that even though I used just a few colors of ink, the results are a warm comforting card. When most look at this stamp set in the catalog they see a set to be used for recipes. I hope you will see how truly versatile it is because it would make a great addition to your collection or a great first stamp set. I will spend an entire week on it, sharing ideas daily. By Saturday, there will be quite a few projects for my efforts. Come back to my blog daily to see them all.
That first card was a Simple Stamping card, and this one is simple too just uses a few extra products. This second card represents one created by a Casual Stamper, someone who has been stamping for a while and has collected more products. It has a few more items added to it.
The background layer is essentially the same as the first card but has an added ribbon around that panel, and instead of attaching the bowl and spoon to the card-front, it was put on a die-cut circle from the Layering Circle Dies instead. Crumb Cake Classic Ink was blended onto the circle. That was achieved with a Blending Brush. After being cut out using the matching Cookin’ Dies, the spoon was adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals, small shaped foam pieces that give layers a lift. Because a Casual Stamper has many more products at their disposal than a Beginner, the results are similar but just a step up. Check out the close-ups below.
Now that you have seen the Beginner card, and the card of a Casual Stamper, next, I will show you the card of an Avid Stamper. An Avid stamper is someone who has been crafting for quite a while and has acquired more than your average amount of supplies. They like to try new things and make unique cards using lots of extras.
The Avid Stamper likes to add even more to a card. They not only have purchased the stamp set but also the matching dies. Ribbon and embellishments are almost always used. They own plenty of ink colors, additional die-cut sets, and even Stampin’ Blends Markers. All those things when added to a card help it achieve a more “professional” look. On this card, the What’s Cookin’ Bundle used and the Layering Circle Dies, Blending Brushes, and a bunch more Cardstock and Ink colors. Here below are the close-ups.
I hope that you enjoyed this Simple Stamping Sunday blog post using the What’s Cookin Bundle. Every Sunday pop back in so that I can share more projects with you. I will leave you with images of all three cards. If you want to see last week’s Simple Stamping post, click here.
