#SimpleStamping Saturday – Part 4. Designing my #simplestamping Saturday projects are becoming a highlight of my weeks. Sometimes I start with the Avid Project and then pare it back, other times I start with the #simplestamping project and work from there. This week I designed the #simplestamping project first and was then inspired to go straight to the Avid version before coming back to the Casual Crafter Version. The stamp set is Piece of Cake, available from 3rd January in my online store. This set is great for so many occasions, let’s face it, all occasions need cake!

The #simplestamping project uses just 3 ink colours, all of which are found in the How Sweet It Is Patterned paper, which I knew I would use for the Casual Crafter project. I added a Wink of Stella to the list of supplies because I think this little brush tool is perfect for those starting out with Paper Crafting. It is a really easy tool to use, but give such a lovely result. I also like that it can be used on more advanced projects, so is perfect for all levels of Crafter. As you know from my previous #simplestamping Saturday posts, I want these projects to show that by buying wisely at the start, your supplies will grow WITH you, you will not outgrow them.

As many of the products are not yet available I have not provided a supply list for this project. I can tell you that the 3 ink pads, a pack of 20 Note Cards and Envelopes, Wink of Stella and the Stamp set come to £50.50. This would qualify you for a Level 1 Sale-a-Bration item. There are so many to choose from and the are FREE! Which we all love, right?

Do remember that if you want any of the items from the Autumn/Winter Catalogue, you should hop over to my online store NOW. Retiring Items are already selling out. You also need to take advantage of any Bundle Prices that are available until the end of 2nd January. Wait until 3rd January and pay more for the same items, that would be such a shame.
