Are you looking for more handmade cards you can make in a simple stamping style? Today I have a fun and trendy SIP card (stamps, ink & paper) to share with you, as well as several stepped up cards all using the Needle & Thread stamp set. This stamp set brings back so many memories of my mother and grandma–they both loved to do needlepoint. It seems like it was a dying art for so long, but it’s definitely coming back! My young adult daughters now love to “stitch” as they call it!
The Needle & Thread stamp set and Needlepoint Elements Dies are retiring….if you like them and want them, make sure to order soon before they are sold out (especially the dies!)
SIP Video Series: Handmade Cards You Can Make in a Simple Stamping Style

SIP Card: Handmade Cards You Can Make Easily!
This is the card I stamped in the video. Make sure to watch for tips on stamping with the Needle & Thread stamp set. And, I guess I cheated a little on the SIP card….I added a little Old Olive Baker’s Twine!
Card Recipe:
- Whisper White Note Card & Envelope (easy recipe to share!!!)
Colors I used:
I used the same color ink on all my cards today. (added Balmy Blue to one of them below)
Where did I get my color combination? From the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper. Even though I did not use the paper in most of the cards, it’s a great way to find new color combinations that look great together!
Don’t forget to stamp the inside.
Needle & Thread Tutorials
If you purchase this stamp set from me, I have a great collection of step-by-step tutorials for you! If you have already purchased it and I did not send you your free tutorial, make sure to email me and request it.
Stepped Up Cards
After stamping my SIP card, I pulled out the coordinating framelits and had some fun creating 3 more cards. Let me be honest–these cards ARE NOT ANY HARDER–they are still handmade cards you can make quickly and easily! They just took a little more time. Don’t let cards with a lot of layers and cut out pieces scare you–they are not hard!!!
Card Recipe:
- Balmy Blue: 11″ x 4 1/4″
- Berry Burst: 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″
- Whisper White: 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″

Please continue the recipes for the cards. I am an avid stamper so it is really easy for me to guess the recipe but I like the fact that it is there to confirm my guess. Your site is awesome for people with less experience and the recipe is very valuable to them. I tend to follow and enjoy the work of people that give you all the instructions, easily. Thanks so much for all the hard work you put into your site.
Please continue to share the recipes for your cards. I really enjoy your posts and find them very helpful. Thanks for sharing all your projects.

I really appreciate the formatting and details you put into your card projects that you share with us. It always makes copying/tweaking the image go a lot easier. Else, I probably wouldn’t attempt it as often. Thanks.
Thanks Wini!

You’re welcome Carrie! Thanks for taking time to let me know!
I love having the different measurements posted as I’m terrible at figuring out layers. Also, giving the color combinations helps me choose matching colors from other paper and inks that I have in stock. Please continue posting the “recipe “.
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment Sue!
