SIMPLE STAMPING – Stamps, Ink, and Paper – it’s where we all started AND what brought us together. In this card making demonstration, you’ll see a Simple Stamping Card made with the Earthen Textures Stamp Set, followed by 2 “stepped up” cards created with the addition of layers, die cuts, and embellishments. You can make Simple Stamping Cards with any of your stamp sets, then step them up with DSP, embellishments, and trim and more!

Nothing but stamps, ink, and paper on this card.

Mary, these cards are so pretty. I love how you stepped them up. Enjoy your day!
Thanks, Hilda.
Hi Mary,
I just love the way you describe the steps you are doing, and all the great tips. What is around your clear-blocks? Can’t wait to use this set.
Thanks again,
Laura
I love to share and teach others to stamp and make cards. I put washi tape around the clear blocks just to identify them as mine when I take them to events, etc.
I love seeing demonstrations of stepped up cards. These are great Mary!
