Simple card...using the basics!

With all of the great products such as paper punches, die cutters, embellishments such as brads, buttons, ribbon and so much more, we forget about the basics.  You can make beautiful cards using stamps, ink and paper.  This is what we call a SIP card!

Here is a card I designed for Melissa's card class with her work colleagues. 

She wanted a card that was quick, easy but still pretty! I think we succeeded in showing new stampers that everyone can stamp, whether you are crafty or not : )

Supplies:
Stamps: Circle Circus, Well Scripted
Cardstock: Kraft, Ruby Red, Ivory Naturals
Ink: Ruby Red, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Paper Cutter, Snail Adhesive


Now if you wanted to step this card up a little, you could easily do that by adding a few embellishments.  Circle punches are great punches to own, especially when working with a stamp set such as Circle Circus.  To add some dimension to this card, I stamped the smaller circle in Ruby Red classic ink on Ruby Red cardstcok and then punched it out with a 3/4" circle punch.  I then popped them up by using some dimensionals. Add a little Chocolate Chip 1/4" grosgrain ribbon and voila!
