About The Label: Simple Cards

I had a lovely hour or so of cardmaking on Saturday for World Card Making Day.  Any excuse for some craft time.  My sister and daughter joined in the fun. 

I decided to introduce some ink to the pristine mint condition not yet used “About The Label” stamp set (page 129 for those playing along at home.)  Grabbed out the coordinating little set of punches (aren’t they cute), a set of note cards and envelopes, the All Abloom Designer Paper pad (page 185) and some coordinating ink pads. 

For inspiration I turned to the page in the catalogue with the stamp set and found a few ideas to get me started.

The jars are easy to cut out with nice sharp scissors.  I love my paper snips (page 215.) 

And this stamp set has a nice range of teeny little greetings.  I opted for Hi – useful for a range of occasions!

Some of our thick baker’s twine in Strawberry Slush was just right for a finishing touch.  I had 27 tries at doing an attractive bow then gave up and snipped the ends off to a slightly less attractive knot.  🙂

Happy Stamping!

Cheers, Sue
