Clean & Simple Hug In A Mug Notecard


Today's card is a clean and simple notecard featuring the Hug In A Mug stamp set. I have been dying to play with this set and wanted to create something that involved a lot of stamping and minimal surplies. This card would be perfect for a beginner but can also be easily taken up a notch or two by adding extra layers, embellishments or heat embossing the sentiment. 

You will need:
Soft Sky - C6 card base
Whisper White Card Stock
Hug In A Mug Stamp Set - (144933)
Wink of Stella - (141897)
Blender Pens - (102845)
Dimensionals - (104430)

Inks: Crumb Cake, Basic Grey, Powder Pink, Night of Navy, Real Red, Perfect Plum and Dapper Denim.


Hope you enjoyed the video. I have also included below an image of another simple note card idea using this set!

Card Challenge; Global Design Project 110 Sketch Challenge

Hello Stampers,

Here is a card entry for the Global Design Project 110 Sketch ChallengeThe Challenge is to follow the below sketch to create a card, using any theme or colour combination.


I was feeling floral, so dug out the Flower Shop stamp set and mixed it with some of our new Merry Little Christmas DSP. Which just shows how versatile it is! I even fussy cut some of the leaves out to use along side my flower. This was my first time using the Hardwood background stamp and I really love it! I added a bit of Linen Thread to pull in the Crumb Cake browns and raised the circles with dimensionals. 
Something I would change next time; I would put the twine in front of the circles so not to lose it so much.

Flower Shop Stamp Set (130942)
Pansy Punch (130698)

Card Challenge; PCC #262 and Less Is More #349


Hello Stampers,

Today I am sharing my entry for the Less Is More Challenge #349 & combing it with Paper Craft Crew Tic-Tac-Toe Challange (PCC262).

The for Less Is More Challenge we were to create a clean and simple card in the theme of Hot & Spicy Colours. For the PCC Challenge I chose to go with the middle row down; Baker's Twine, Fall and Punch/Die cut.




I pulled out the Coffee Cafe and Merry Cafe stamps sets and teamed it up with some lovely fall colours which also fit the 'hot and spicy' theme needed for the challenge. Keeping it clean and simple, I die cut the coffee cup as my focal point and added a fun Fall border down one side of the card. Finally I added some Twine and raised the stamped panel with dimensionals. 
And there you have a cosy clean and simple card :) 

Items Used:
Merry Cafe Stamp Set (144965)
Coffee Cafe Bundle (145331)
Linen Thread (104199)
Whisper White Cardstock (106549)
Smooth Whisper White Cardstock (106549)
Velum - for the lid of the coffee cup.

Inks: Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, and Real Red.

Happy Crafting,
