Friday Five - For the Birds...

 

Love these three sweet and simple cards as they are such great examples of how you can create your own #SimpleStamping cards with just a few supplies and simple steps.

All three cards use just the one stamp set—the Garden Birdhouses Stamp Set—and yet each card uses a different technique to create a unique style.

Each card features only two ink pads and one or two colours of cardstock.  The Birthday Wishes card is the simplest with just one colour of cardstock and a couple of images, all stamped on a single layer.  The Hello card uses more images, layers, and the Everyday Label Punch. Spot that the punch shape is customised to fit the sentiment a little better—all it took was a couple of snips with our trusty Paper Snips.  And lastly, the third card has some additional colour added in, which is easy to do with a set of Watercolor Pencils.

Want to see more using this stamp set... which is one I absolutely adore!! Though I guess a lot of you knew that already.... as I have shared a thing or two on birdhouses over the years! Well here you go... so now there are 5 (in case you were wondering!)
