For my cards I used the Needlepoint and Thread Bundle.
For my first card I stamped the large flower image in Poppy Parade and the leaves in Old Olive and cut them out with the coordinating dies. It's a little hard to see in the photo, but the stitching image is stamped under the flower in Crushed Curry. The piece of Needlepoint Nook DSP is bordered by strips of Balmy Blue. The greeting was stamped in Mossy Meadow to finish the card.
The second card is an example of a #simplystamping card. Stampin' Up! is promoting that you only need ink and paper to produce a beautiful card. This month we were also allowed to add a ribbon, I have used the always versatile Linen Tread on this card. The colours I've used are Poppy Parade, Grapefruit Grove, Old Olive and Crumb Cake for the stitching.
Thank you for visiting my blog.

Beautiful cards Rachel. My favourite is the second one - it just looks so fresh and is a fantastic example of how simple stamping doesn't have to look "simple". Would be a perfect card for a class.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are great Rachel. I love the simplicity of the second card too.
ReplyDeleteRachel both cards are gorgeous but I'm a sucker for linen thread on anything so my vote has to go to the simple stamping card, just stunning!!! Thank you for hopping along tonight!
ReplyDeleteBoth are really lovely! I especially like the stitched detail under the flower on the first card - so pretty!
ReplyDeleteSimple certainly doesn't mean less. Both of your cards a simply lovely Rachel.
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards, like 'em both.They seem simple and achievable, good for anyone to try.
ReplyDeleteI actually like the first card with that pop of colour with the dsp, but both lovely cards, Rachel.
