Hello to all of our online friends! It’s been way, way, way too long. One thing on top of another has happened in the last month and I just needed to take the time to get all the ducks back in a row, so to speak. We’ve been dealing with family health issues and (again!) a lightening strike resulting in the loss of electronics. Things are now in good shape in all directions and we are ready to join the online world again! Stamp Simply has been open throughout and continues to be! Our blog posts will resume, but our strict 7 am schedule will not. Posts may pop up at any time of the day or night, giving us a bit more flexibility. But we are here and ready to share so much that our Design Team has to offer!

Our first post shares these two lovely birthday cards by Esther – one masculine and one feminine – both using gorgeous paper pads from Graphic 45.

Esther cut all images from her Graphic 45 pads and stamped a sentiment on each card for some quick and easy birthday cards that look anything but!

This card uses both the 8×8 paper pad and the ephemera cards from Bird Watcher by Graphic 45.

The versatile sentiment is from Birthday Blessings by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

Our favorite lace is cut with the Crochet die by Tim Holtz (Sizzix).

Esther used VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink and Kaisercraft Pearls.

The next card has a more masculine theme and uses fabulous papers from Catch of the Day by Graphic 45.

The sentiment is from Birthday Sentiments by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

Esther used VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink.

Lots of layers and lots of fun!

Thank you so much, Esther, for sharing these lovely, quick and easy birthday cards!

Making cards from pretty paper pads is always fun, easy and so relaxing!

You can find Esther’s post on her blog here.
