Hi Everyone!
I’m playing along with the most recent Less Is More Challenge today using a couple of unused die cut flowers I found in my embellishment basket.

Our challenge was to use whatever saved items we had that we had die cut or colored and saved in our supplies for future use. Such a great idea!
I ended up using these two die cuts from Papertrey Ink I had stamped/colored/embossed a while back. When I die cut flowers, I usually do more than I need just in case I decide to change my design or make a mistake……which brings me to the next picture…….

I recently shared this picture on my Instagram feed. I was originally going to use 2 roses I found in my supply basket, but when I was stamping the sentiment on today’s project, the black ink pad slipped out of my hand and unfortunately, on to my pretty flower. I tried wiping the ink off, but it just got worse, LOL! So on to plan B…….

I used a wooden stamp from American Crafts that I got from Hobby Lobby for my sentiment and stamped it on to a white note card. I used a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to ensure I got a perfectly placed image. This tool also helps if you need to re stamp the stamp in the same spot. Simply place the plastic sheet that comes with the tool flush to the corner edge as shown below and place your inked stamp down in the same spot on the plastic.

After stamping the image on the plastic sheet, line the sheet up to where you want it on your card base and fit your Stamp-A-Ma-Jig into the corner.

Remove the plastic sheet and fit the inked stamp right into the same corner of the tool where the sheet was and stamp your image. For a more detailed demonstration on using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, I have a quick YouTube video HERE.

After stamping my sentiment I added the mint colored flower–from Papertrey Ink’s Vintage Linens stamp set–as a backdrop for my rose. The rose die cut is from Papertrey’s The Sweet Life stamp set and I popped that up with a foam square. A few drops of Morning Dew Nuvo Drops completes the card.


Thanks so much for joining me today. If you enjoy clean and simple card challenges as I do, I put together a list below of some fun ones I’ve tried as well as some new ones I found that I’d like to try. Enjoy!
