Free As A Bird - #Simple Stamping

Hello my stamping friends.  Hope you all are ready for the new year.  Lots of great projects to share with you, so please follow me on my Social Media channels and come back the blog each week to see new projects.  

Okay, so I have a #simplestamping project for you today.  It actually is a very simple sketch that I have used many times for projects I have shared.

Here are the basic measures on this photo, so if you PIN all your favorites you can PIN this one for easy reference.

Here you can see I am featuring the FREE AS A BIRD stamp set images and I have colored them with my BLEND markers.  I embellished with the fun two-toned ribbon in Old Olive/Pretty Peacock, keeping the color choices to lots of coordinating greens.  The DSP panel is from the Painted Christmas DSP in the fall mini catalog.  Now it may have been marketed in a Holiday Themed paper pack, but this sample is good for pretty much and card and any season.  So don't forget to look at all the paper selections in your packages, you may find you can use them in more than just the themed type of cards.

Okay, so the supply list of products I used are listed below with the step by step instructions you can follow to make your own.

Please if you are shopping for supplies, I greatly appreciate your business.  As a thank you, I not only send you a hand-stamped card, but also include a tutorial and card kit for your crafting fun.  Plus as a VIP you are invited to join my FB Group where I share more projects with my customers.

Happy Stamping,

Susan
