    Simple Stamping Snowman Season Card With Ed Who Has Never Made A Card Before!

    Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


    Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it and hope you like the project and will take a look at the video tutorial as well.  Yesterday I was the InspireINK blog hop, I do this every month and the theme this month is Back to Basics, so I have done #simplestamping. We were allowed to use one stamp set, one ink pad, one card stock colour (along with white, black or vanilla) and one punch or 1 die cut. I have kept mine really simple by not using the punch or die cut.

    I designed a very simple card, then I stepped it up a bit, then stepped it up again but still keeping it simple. 



    To test how simple my design was I got my other half, Ed, who has never stamped or made a card in his life follow my instructions and design. He did really well and you can see his debut stamping on my YouTube channel now!

    I think you will agree he did really well for his first time ...can't wait to see what he does next!

      Poppy Parade, Crushed Curry, Petal Pink, Mint Macaron and Purple Posy. I decided to go with Poppy Parade, Crushed Curry and Mint Macaron to make this bold bright flower Birthday card.
