Simple Stamping Struggles. Do you struggle with Simple Stamping Like Me? Who can remember when they first started stamping or making cards? Was it a bit overwhelming Right? Where do you start? Although you may want to buy everything right away, more often our budgets don’t allow for that.
So, not only did Stampin’ Up!® come up with Monthly Challenges for their demonstrators my personal upline came up with a fun Monthly Challenge to have us make A Simple Stamping Card and a Stepped up Version. So today we are going to do just that and I may have taken it up one step further!! Take a look at the video below and see just how I did that!!

Back in November at our Onstage Event, they showed a new and magical way of using our Watercolor Pencils and a Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter Marker. We do also have Stampin’ Blends, but I found that the Color Lifter is a smoother process and does not pill up like the Stampin’ Blends sometimes does. Below I am showing you a Before I use the Color Lifter and After I use the Color Lifter.
