Claire who is my StampinUp rep has taught me something since I met her. She probably doesn't even realize it. She is teaching me to simplify my stamping. Each time I am at a party that Claire is doing she teaches us a couple of quick cards. They are alway simple yet wonderfully creative.
Even though I teach "less is more" to others, I find this concept very hard in my own stamping. My cards have to have layers, cut outs, embellishments, gems etc etc.
So when I made some card samples for Claire this week, I tried to simplify. I used the curly punch and stamp set from StampinUp for the samples.
I think we are all so busy in our lives running here and there, we need to take time to smell the roses and simplify our lives.

amen to that one!! thanks again, I love the samples. that little monkey card using zoofari is adorable. and the paint chips technique is so cool!
Sue, I thing there is a place for both,but simple allows you to highlight the focal image. Also you can complete a number of simple cards in a short period of time to have on hand.
I hear ya Bevy B but it still seems to take just as long for me to make a simple card!!
Hey thanks for the GTEAT b- card- ya might see it soon again!!
