Simple Stamping with Playing in the Rain!

The Playing in the Rain stamp set by Stampin Up® is another great set to do some simple stamping! For this card I wanted to create my own background so i used the turtle stamp and the flowers to create a look that I liked.

The great thing about simple stamping is all you need is card stock, stamps and ink not to mention it allows you to make great cards on a tight budget. For this card I did throw in some ribbon to show you how you can add a little bling if you’d like to to step it up just a bit. If you don’t have any ribbon then you could just as easily use a strip of card stock for that section.

I have included a link to supplies, step by step instructions as well as a link to a video that I did with this card, a Casual card and an Avid card all using this same set.
