“Simply Schach” is back with this quick and easy card created with the “Bliss” Sale-A-Bration set. Yummy Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso, along with Very Vanilla and a touch of Shimmery White make a pleasing color palette. Enjoy this simple Bliss card along with some quick and easy tips!
The Stampin‘ Schach Design Tips:
- When time is of the essence, achieving visual interest can be as simple as rounding opposite corners!
- Quick and easy scrunchy ribbon can be as simple as laying down a strip of adhesive and softly pleating Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding!
- Simple accents! A single Pearl adorns the center of the Flourish from the Bliss set. A snippet of Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding is drawn through a Very Vanilla satin bow.
- Instant shimmer! Using Shimmery White card stock provides shimmer in a single step!
- Of course, the Stamp-a-ma-jig is a must for stamping the “Friend” sentiment from the You’re a Gem set.

As always beautiful work! Love the color choices and simple beauty of your card!
I really DO love the clean lines on this card, Ann. It’s beautiful! You are right that sometimes it’s harder making a clean and simple card because of the limited embellishments.
You’re doing great!
I look forward to checking your site every morning. I love your creations. The colors and ribbons are perfect-just awesome! One would never guess you’ve only been doing cards for 2 years. You have a natural talent for it. TFS.

Pretty card! A great Valentine dessert card – cherry cobbler with vanilla ice cream and a shot of expresso! I love all the details and the one pearl is just the perfect touch! As well, as the rounded corners, the bow, etc. Love that paper too. Great blog candy, I don’t think I have any of those in my stash!

Beautiful card, love the ribbon effect. Sometimes simplier cards are a challenge, but they are stunning! Happy Valentines Day.
Happy Valentines!!!Hugs my friend!!
Your card is simply divine! One might even say Blissful 😉
Simply stunning! Love the ribbon and the rounded corners. When I first saw the card I did a double take because I thought it was pearl-less! Whew! I always enjoy reading your tips, too. Thanks! 🙂
Gorgeous Ann! That ribbon is to die for!!

It may be a simplier card but still very elegant. I love everything you do. Your creations are really an inspiration.
Hi Ann,
I love this colour combo. Thanks for the tips you leave on your blog. I always enjoy reading what you have to offer.
Congrats on your 2 years. What a simply beautiful card. Makes it easy for me to “case” who whould have thought to just round 2 corners and not all 4. Thinking outside the card (box)
“simply” beautiful!!
You make it look effortless. Beautiful card. Thanks for sharing your talent and offering some wonderful blog candy!
Love the card, as always… Toni
Great card! Love the use of the butterflies with the letters.
Congrats on year 2!

Ooooh, gorgeous card. I thought it was supposed to be simple! LOL
Lots of wonderful tips that can be carried forward onto many cards.
Thanks so much.
One question-did you stamp on the shimmery white paper, or was it your base card?
Congratulations on such success and
a very Happy Valentines day! 🙂
Congrats on your 2nd Anniversary! I hope you keep doing your blog for many more years! It’s like my daily newspaper!
Your card is beautiful! See, simple isn’t so hard is it? My mom always said “less is more”. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Valentine’s Day and congrats on your 2nd anniversary! This card is great, you did a super job making it clean and simple! Thanks for sharing.
Happy Valentines Day! I find the Bliss set is one of my favorite. You really help me in creating cards. I love how you added a length of cherry cobbler to the white ribbon – it makes it pop out. Adding the single pearl in the center of the design perfect.
By looking at your cards, one would never believe you have only been stamping for 2 years!! You have a very creative gift, Ann! Love the elegant simplicity of this card. Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary.
That Bliss set is to die for, I can’t wait to get my hands on it, and since I’m partial to simpler cards, I love this card.

Your exquisite card has all the elements of a beautiful Valentine. I’m so happy I received the Bliss set just last night as you’ve inspired me to try this myself!
Today’s card is very rustic. It’s a little bit of Rustic love for a Monday Valentine’s Day!
I like this card a lot, esdpecially the cherry and vanilla ribbons tied together. And the red butterflies against the shimmery white gives a lot of visual pop. Congratulations on your two years in the business and on your creativity.
Hm…not my definition of simple but it does meet the definition of absolutely lovely! Granted by Ann standards…yup…simple! LOL! Thanks for sharing the fun tips Ann.
Hugs and congratulations on your two year anniversary. You surely share what you love and obviously love what you do and you definitely make a difference!!
I’m not into “clean” cards, but I really like this one. The colors all work great together, I really like the dsp and the way you did the did the ribbon.
LOVE UR BLOG!! YAY blog candy…an even better reason to check in. LOL
Love the color combo on your card and the way the butterflies pop. Congratulations on 2 years.
I missed the pearl on my first look at your pretty card. Guess I was too focused on the pretty bow and scrunched seam binding!
Happy 2nd SU Anniversary and Happy Valentine’s Day!
Another great card with the Bliss stamps set. I can’t wait to earn one of my own. I noticed the rounded corners right away…super touch. Thanks for sharing. jmniffer

I love the colors you used. The Bliss set is awesome and I just got it, so now I have another great idea to create with it.
So hard to believe that you have only been stamping a few years. Your work is wonderful. I love the clean and simple look, it is more my style. When I see your more shabby chic look, I feel intimidated! thanks for the chance to win!
Happy Anniversary! Thanks for allowing us to share the celebration by offering Blog candy. You are sweet – especially on Valentine’s Day. The card is quite lovely. The ribbon technique is new to me; I’m anxious to incorporate it on my own card.
I love this “simple” card! It’s perfect! Thanks for the chance & happy Valentine’s day!
Ann-
Is it hard to get out of your comforte zone by NOT grabbing the sponge & distress? You did a GREAT work, and make a CAS card just as beautiful as your vintage card!
