One Stamp: Four Shades of Blue - Clean and Simple Birthday Card

I needed a quick and easy birthday card for a male relative and decided to use the latest monthly new design club stamp from Clarity.

Clean and Simple Uplifting Card

For my first sample using one of Barbara's Woodland Art Block stamp sets, I kept things clean and simple and combined them with one of the grunge elements sets.

Clean and Simple Engagement Congratulations

 As the Love SHAC stamp set was the Clarity offer of the week last week, I thought I'd have a play and made this clean and simple engagement card with the small stamps which come with the set.

Clean and Simple Snowflake Christmas Card

Merry Christmas to all my bloggy friends and followers.  I kept it clean and simple with this snowflake card using one of the stamps from the Winter Landscape Scenes from Clarity.

Clean and Simple Spotlight Birthday Card

I needed a quick birthday card so decided to use the spotlight technique with Distress Oxides to create a background.

Quick Wedding Card/Invitation using Linda's Hearts

This card using one of the new Linda's King of Hearts stamps from Clarity would make a great wedding invitation.  It is clean and simple and could be batch made easily.  The colour could also be adjusted to match the theme.

A Clean and Simple Fairy Card with Butterfly Frame

Once again the smaller stamps in this stamp set are perfect to decorate a frame for the main images.

Clean and Simple SHAC Doodle Birthday Card

The SHAC Doodle stamps by Barbara Gray are so versatile.  I didn't use either of the main images in the Hot Air Balloon set to create this clean and simple panel card, just three of the smaller extras.

Clean and Simple Fairy Card

For my first sample with the new Mel's Magic Moments stamp collection from Clarity, I decided to keep things clean and simple.  I also had a play with my new box of Derwent Inktense pencils.

Clean and Simple Birthday Card for Cat Lovers

This is a birthday card that I made for a cat loving friend.  I kept it clean and simple, but I think it looks effective.

Clean and Simple Wedding Card

This card was made for a colleague who is getting married this summer.  It had to be large enough for everyone at work to sign, so I used an 8" x 8" card blank as a base.

Clean and Simple Sympathy Card

The husband of a former colleague sadly died recently.  This is the card that I made for the staff to send to her.

Clean and Simple New Home Card

Another one of our sons and his girlfriend moved into a new place recently.  This is the card that I made for the house warming party.

A Clean and Simple Birthday Card with a Splash of Bling

This card started off heading in one direction and ended up going in another.  I hadn't thought of cutting an aperture in a background and stamping behind it before, but I think it turned out rather well.

A Clean and Simple Romantic Card

I found a way to use one of the Dee's Friends characters without doing a great deal of colouring as I am still not too confident with my technique.  A clean and simple romantic card, but spot the OOPS!

Clean and Simple Panel Birthday Card

This sample didn't make it to air, but I'd still like to share it.  A clean and simple panel card using inking and heat embossing.

A Clean and Simple New Home Card

Our eldest son and his girlfriend recently moved into their own home and have been working very hard doing it up, with the help of both families and friends.  I made this card to celebrate them being straight for the first time.

A Clean and Simple Good Luck Card

I like the additional small stamps and sentiments which come with the Circus stamp sets (designed by Leonie Pujol for Claritystamp). They work really well for a clean and simple card.

A Clean and Simple 21st Birthday Card with a Perfect Repeat Frame

I took the decision not to add 21 to the front of this card even though it was for a young man's special birthday.  I felt that the layout would be unbalanced if I did so.  Instead I stamped a message inside the card.  I used the Tim Holtz stamp platform to create the frame around the outside to get a perfectly even placement.

Clean and Simple Birthday Card

I made this birthday card for a friend whose birthday was yesterday.  I decided to look at some of my dies from a new angle and combined two with some stamping to fit what I wanted to say.
