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!!
