Ellen Hutson Summer of Stamping Essentials by Ellen Release Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAY!)

Good afternoon!  It’s almost the end of July and we’ve got one last celebration for the Summer of Stamping with Ellen Hutson: a mini release from Julie Ebersole!  Here are all the great releases this month in case you missed any:

This time we have three fantastic sets from Julie Ebersole: Mini Voices in my Head, Voices in My Head Vol. 3, Voices in My Head Accessories, and a combo bundle of all three sets!  Today I kept it super clean and simple for a fun punny card! 😉

And when I say clean and simple I really mean it! 😉 I don’t think I’ve ever made a card quite this quickly but I really love how it turned out!  I stamped the images from Mini Voices in my Head and the sentiment from Voices in my Head vol. 3 onto a white card base with intense-fied black ink.  Then I took a few scraps of ribbon and twine and tied them into “hair bows” and glued them to my card for a little pop of color!

And that’s it!  There are lots of different hair style stamps in the set that you could choose from to represent friends or family you’re missing during these difficult times.  I chose to keep it super simple and didn’t color the stamps but you could also color them or add the face stamps for lots of different looks!  I thought the sentiment was pretty clever because not only do I miss my friends I literally miss faces since we’re all wearing masks now.  I look forward to the day when we get to hug our friends and family safely without worrying about masks or social distancing.  Until then, this card will have to do for a hug!

    Oh my lord that is hysterical. I must be tired because at first I didn’t catch the fact that those faces were missing. Very clever and one of my very favorite color combos for clean and simple cards.

    Jessica- simple, sweet and absolutely perfect with the sentiment! I love it. Thanks for your take on Julie’s latest addition to this fabulous line, and reminding us all that simplicity can be powerful. As always, you’ve inspired me with your vision and talent. Stay safe.
