Have you seen cards posted with the hashtag #simplestamping? Stampin' Up! has been challenging demonstrators to share cards that don't have much more than stamps, ink, and paper, and minimal layers. I have a hard time not using the Big Shot, but besides that little stitched heart, this card is pretty simple.
This stamp set is my favorite! I sure hope it sticks around!
Stamps: Flowering Desert

The card I have to share today uses the beautiful Flowering Desert stamp set. This Arizona girl loves the cacti stamps!
The sentiment comes from my standby birthday set, Happy Birthday, Gorgeous. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

Flowering Desert is my favorite stamp set in the new Occasions Catalog! I am using it to slowly make desk calendars for my customers. I followed the template Erica Cerwin uses - a piece of 4 1/4 x 11" cardstock, folded in half. Then add a piece of 4 x 4" cardstock scored at 1/2", 2", and 3 1/2". That piece just adds stability and helps the calendar stand up better. On this calendar, I used our Thick Whisper White cardstock, which I think works really well! The calendar is from Taylored Expressions.
You might also notice the shiny paper I used on the scalloped oval. That is the Grapefruit Grove Foil Paper, one of the Level 1 Sale-A-Bration choices. It is seriously shiny! I also used the Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed Sequins. Although these are both Grapefruit Grove, I thought the shine gave them more of a pinkish hue, so I went with Flirty Flamingo for the ribbon and the sentiment. I love how Stampin' Up! stuff always matches!
