Clean & Simple Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Clean & Simple Saturday - working on honing the less is more design philosophy. 

My final design was inspired by playing along to a few challenges:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #AHSC699 

 

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #594 pretty colour palette of Peaceful Pine, Highland Heather, Bubble Bath. 

Almost Clean & Simple CAS cards - #saturdaychallenge14 Trees

 

Krafty Chicks Challenge - share a CAS card 

Getting inky with Winter Adventures Dies, Soiree Salutations stamps, Snowflake Adhesive backed gems, Triple Banner punch & Peaceful Pine, Highland Heather and Bubble Bath inks with blending brushes. White Gel pel.

 

Final design came together so beautifully - the soft blended strip of Highland Heather & Bubble Bath blending into a wee bit of white for snowy ground, two trees die cut and blended with Peaceful Pine. Scatter of clear snowflakes around the trees and an ombré sentiment with one word in each colour of my palette. Couple score lines either side of blending to frame my night sky. 

   

Nothing like a a snowy night forest scene for spreading some peace. hope. joy. this season! 

Happy Stampin’

Clean & Simple Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Clean & Simple Saturday.

Today’s final design was inspired by playing along to a few challenges: 

CAS Colours & Sketches #593 

Sweet Stampin’  - CAS card 

Krafty Chicks Challenges #837 - Christmas  

Clean and Simple Cardmaking September White on White palette.

Clean and Simple CAS cards for Beginner’s #saturdaychallenge37 Christmas. 

Almost Clean and Simple CAS cards #saturdaychallenge13 Snow

I’m getting inky with Winter Adventures Dies, Soirée Salutation stamp set, retired Winter Snow embossing folder, Adhesive Backed Snowflakes and Basic Gray Ink.

Love the look of a crisp white on white design! I cut the Winter Adventure die so just the cluster of trees and popped them up on my Snowflake embossed strips and added a couple close embellishments. I chose the Holiday Wishes sentiment as it makes this Christmas card more versatile for friends on my Xmas Card list who might celebrate a different holiday in December. 

Happy Stampin’

Fun Fold Friday

Welcome to another edition of Fun Fold Friday. Today I am giving a Funky Diagonal Fun Fold from Rose Coleman a try.

Playing along to the Krafty Chicks Challenge - Christmas.

I’m getting inky with some sneak peek goodies coming in September: Winter Adventure Dies and Soirée Salutations paired with Country Woods DSP. 

Quick process video - can you spot my boo-boo as I was too eager putting my panels on? I fixed it after by adding another white insert on the other side so hopefully the receiver won’t notice the difference 🤣  I also struggled a bit with the diagonal arm as the measurements Rose gave I ended up with a much wider arm covering most of front vs being an arm” vibe so I cut it to down be 2” wide top and bottom angle. 

Final Design came together as a lovely Snowy Winter in the country  Holiday Wishes card for the upcoming season!  

Standing look from different views - another fun fold that really shows off the DSP! 

What do you think? Will you give this one a try? 

Happy Stampin’
