There can be a striking and bold impact when using only black and white. And it can be fun to create with limiting your colour choices. A great way to get started is to look for black and white designs in Stampin' Up!'s designer series papers. There are a few you could use, such as the True Love designer series paper from the Jan-Jun Mini Catalogue or use the Pattern Party designer series paper in the Annual Catalogue like I have for this card.

Today is my birthday! Of course I started thinking about birthday cards and how easy or intricate in design they can be. A quick and easy card sometimes is needed. Using some designer series paper along with a bold greeting stamp you can create one or a few relatively quickly.
Found in the Annual Catalogue, the Biggest Wish stamp set has 2 different fonts where you can mix and match them together like I have on these cards. What do you think of the bold and scripty fonts?

Were you able to join us for May's virtual crop? We used the Ice Cream Corner designer series paper for our projects and I wanted to share a couple of my scrapbook layouts with you today.
Using strips of designer series paper along with cutting out images from the designer series paper you can create a fun layout like I have above. The main piece of paper I chose from the Ice Cream Corner DSP makes me think of drizzled chocolate. What do you think? To finish off this layout you could use one 4" x 6" picture or even add another photo to the right of the white photo layer. 
Do you like Stampin' Up!'s new Fresh Freesia colour? I love that they have a new purple! Or maybe you prefer one of the other new colours?

You could create this card using either the Pretty Perennials stamp set by itself and omit the flower die cuts or add even more die cuts! Tip for you: make sure to add some Adhesive Sheets to your next order if you have a Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine. It will make it easy to adhere the small cuts to your next project (click the image below and it will take you directly to the product in my store).

An easy and simple way to create a card is to use only one stamp set, a few shades of ink and matching cardstock. As a beginner stamper or one who has many tools, creating a simple card can sometimes be a challenge. If you are starting out you might can be overwhelmed with all the choices. Or if you have a larger collection and been stamping for years it can be a hard choice what to create with first.
 
One idea to start being creative is to select the colours you will create with. This #SimpleStamping features a new In Color - Polished Pink. One of the great resources that Stampin' Up! provides demonstrators is the In Color combination chart. There are three suggested combos listed for each new In Color and it's a great way to help decide which colour to match with others. For this card I picked the combo of Polished Pink, Blushing Bride and Smoky Slate. Do you like these colours together? I'm undecided. Mostly because of the bright pink. I'm #TeamPurple 💜
