Give Thanks

Esther is here today sharing a gorgeous fall card that she made for her Memory Dex box. She has been adding projects to it for a year or two and I certainly love this idea! For this addition she used our Boho Fall Leaves combined with sentiments from Give Thanks. They pair beautifully and are a perfect choice to go with the fall colored sheet of designer paper from Tartan Plaid by Craft Consortium.


This is the card added to the others in the Memory Dex box.

I absolutely love this idea and have been meaning to order a box like this for a long time, and maybe that time is NOW!  Searching Memory Dex should bring up many options. I am thinking Esther got this one from Etsy.

A Tribute to The Edmund Fitzgerald

Hello to all and though still unofficial, fall is here. September brings us closer to the end of our summer florals and the beginning of fall's glorious colors, October brings us pumpkins and spice and all things nice, while November, at least to us up on the shores of Lake Superior, brings us the gales of November with sad memories of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I am from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, while Karen was raised in Duluth, MN, so that fateful day in November is forever etched in our minds and hearts. Karen has 2 cards to share with us today, both using The Edmund Fitzgerald.

Card #1




This stunning card from Karen was basically CASED. Some say 'copy and share everything', others say 'copy and steal everything' and Karen likes the term 'scraplifting', which I like, too!

We share cards here at Stamp Simply with the hope you, too, will want to CASE and recreate the cards we make, or use them as an inspirational point to start your own unique creations. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and we could not agree more. Please know that we here are HONORED when you like our cards enough to want to recreate them, so please, feel free to do so!

Karen CASED this card from Esther - check it out! Although different stamps were used, you will see the similarity.

Card #2



For this card Karen combined both sets used above.



He Stilled the Storm (flying birds)



Thanks so much, Karen, for both of these lovely cards!
