Sunday Share and some #simplestamping cards for you!

I'm sending more cards than ever during this pandemic to let people know I am thinking of them and many of you have let me know that you are too. That means we need to have lots of cards on hand to mail and today's post is all about you getting a few cards made ahead that are quick and easy!!

The concept for these cards came from one of our Stampin' Up! weekly inspiration emails that we get - they are usually filled with ideas on using products we have as well as giving us hints as to what's coming in new catalogues . . . . . . these cards use only a few of our standard, core products: stamps that you have on hand; a package of Brights Cardstock (you can sub any of the family groups that you have); Basic Gray ink pad; your favourite adhesives and paper trimmer.

Here's my close up of each card with the measurements to create the cards at home - these would be fun to do with any kids that are in your household, or will be visiting when we are able to expand our bubbles a bit to include others in our lives. Card #1 and #2 bases are Thick Whisper White  8 1/2" x 5 1/2" folded in half.

Card #1 is all  about the squares - Granny Apple Green CS Layer 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”; Daffodil Delight + Mango Melody + Pacific Point + Coastal Cabana CS squares 1 ½”; Stamp Set Country Home; Ink Basic Gray

Card #2 takes strips to a new level - Coastal Cabana CS Layer 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”; Pacific Point Layer 3 ¼” x 4 ½”; Greeting strips 3” x 1” in Granny Apple Green + Mango melody + Daffodil Delight; Stamp Set Itty Bitty Birthdays; Ink Basic Gray

Card #3 does some layering for a different effect - Card Base Daffodil Delight; Strips 1 ¼” x 4 ½” Granny Apple Green + Pacific Point + Coastal Cabana; Greeting strip 1 ¼” x 2 ¾”; Stamp Set Butterfly Gala; Ink Basic Gray

If you need to top up any of your basic supplies, remember that my online store is open 24/7 and Stampin' Up! has some great systems in place to ensure our orders continue to be processed in a timely manner - and you can have the order come directly to your home. If you don't want to do online, then check with me for my next orders going in and you can be a part of that group.

Exciting news - the new Annual Catalogue launches next week on June 3rd. If you aren't close to me your catalogue is on its way in the mail direct from Stampin' Up! so please be patient - if I usually give you one in person then I have yours here and we can arrange a porch drop/pick up for you.  I'm going to do a virtual launch sometime in June and will give you a heads up when it's going to happen!

And there is still time to order the June Paper Pumpkin kit - so order now before you forget - scroll down to this picture - it's a don't want to miss item!!
