CAS card – Stampin' in the Meadows

Good Morning! I’m heading back to Pennsylvania today so I’ve been busy cleaning and packing and only had time for a simple card using the Stampin’ Up! Penciled Pear stamp set. This is a clean and simple (CAS) card with only stamped images! You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I stamped the large pear from the Stampin’ Up! Penciled Pear stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on the front of a Basic Beige card base. I stamped the sentiment next to the pear, also using Pecan Pie ink. And that’s it! No embellishments, die cuts or designer series paper.

I left the inside of the card blank and didn’t even add a white panel. The Basic Beige card stock is light enough to write a personal message on and sturdy enough to make a nice card. This was quick and easy, but I did take care to position the pear and sentiment.

Card making doesn’t always have to be complex, and a simple stamped design using a beautiful stamp can be all you need – like this large pear from the Stampin’ Up! Penciled Pear stamp set. The cling stamp does a nice job with the pen and ink design of the pear Next time, I’ll make it a little fussier.

Good Morning! Here’s a CAS card made with the Stampin’ Up! Planted Paradise cling stamp set. This pretty set has reversible photopolymer stamps that you can build an indoor garden with planters, leaves and hangers. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I was inspired to use this bundle to make a CAS card by the sketch in Freshly Made Sketches #619:

I embossed a Basic White panel with the pretty new Sale-A-Bration Softly Sophisticated embossing folder and adhered it to a Basic White mat. I wrapped a length of Pebbled Path jute twice around the left side and tied a knot and adhered the panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base.

I stamped the pot and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Planted Paradise stamp set on Basic White. I stamped the pot in Copper Clay and the leaves in Garden Green. I fussy cut the pot and leaves with my paper snips and adhered the leaves to the back of the pot with liquid glue. I popped the pot and leaves to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the hello sentiment from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a Basic White strip and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots. I used the flower die from the Stippled Roses dies to cut a Crushed Curry panel and adhered the flowers to the plant with glue dots. I used white sequins to accent the flower centers.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the pot from the Stampin’ Up! Planted Paradise stamp set in Copper Clay ink on a Basic White panel. I decided to make this a “before” image, so I left it empty, giving the recipient an opportunity to think about what they will fill it with. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Planted Paradise stamp set has so many different leaves and pots that are pretty easy to fussy cut. And they’re in different sizes, making it pretty easy to combine with other plant stamps in your stash. And with the bitter cold outside, indoor plants are good way to bring cheer to your day – and with stamping, there’s no dirt to clean up!
