Stamp Sets Archives - Keep It Simple, Stampers

…the start was humble.

This is a lines from a parody of the 1980’s classic “One Night in Bangkok.” It was remade to tell the story of Christmas. And, there is so much truth to this line. Our Lord Jesus left the Glory of His Father to be born of a woman in a meek and lowly manger to save the people of the world from an eternity in hell.

So, that being said, Stampin’ Up has provided the world with another gorgeous set celebrating that humble beginning!

The Night of Bethlehem Bundle (146043/146044) features the Night in Bethlehem Stamp Set (144809/145282) and the Bethlehem Edgelit Dies (144676). With this bundle, you can make some of the most beautiful Christmas cards that not only send greetings, but celebrate the arrival of a King!

This clean and simple slider card allows Joseph to led Mary to the stable where Christ will be born.

Layering the village pieces can provide shadowing for a great visual effect.

Then, there is a little sponging. I sponged the background then added the village and the star cut from the new Champagne Foil Sheets (144748).

That’s really all I have for you today. Short and to the point… much like me!

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time… keep it simple, Stampers!

Hope you all enjoyed the 2017 Holiday Catalog Product Spotlights that I blogged about last week. That was great fun. All the gals came up with unique takes on each of the products.

And, I’ll let you in on a little secret…

I bought the Detailed Gate just for that blog hop and now I absolutely love it! So, watch for a whole week of projects featuring that die!

Today, I wanted to show you how a simple piece of Designer Series Paper is really all it takes to create an easy yet spectacular card!

When I first glanced through the catalog, I fell in love with the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP to those in the know!).

These first two designs were inspired by the work of Lori Pinto.

This card shows three different designs of the paper. I just love that plaid. I had to have this paper just because of that plaid! I created the layers based on the largest square stitched shape. I then added the sentiment and a little Black Rhinestone for some bling.

This card is basically the same as the card above.. but so very different. This is a prime example of “same but different,” wouldn’t you say!

And, here is the last one for the day…

This design was CASE’d from Mary Fish. She did a treat bag that looked like this. And, since it’s been awhile, I have done a project sheet for this one 🙂

Proj Sheet – Season of Cheer

You’re welcome! LOL Here is a glance at the items used to create this simple card!
