Clean and Simple Cards | Simon Says Stamp Blossoms and Butterflies Release | Dahlia Frame Die


Hey Friends, I am back again today with a couple of clean and simple cards featuring the Dahlia Frame Die from the latest Simon Says Stamp Blossoms and Butterflies Release. I find clean and simple the hardest card design to pull off, but I am happy with my results and hopefully, they inspire you!

CARD DETAILS

With this first card, I had an idea of making the Dahlias represent two friends leaning on each other for support. So I began by using the Dahlia Frame Die to die cut a few flowers from watercolor paper. As you can see I just snipped the flower out of the frame. I also used really old cutting plates so that the pieces from the center weren't die cut all the way through.
Tip →For intricate dies like this one, I like to use a metal shim if I want to get a great cut the first time around.

Then I watercolored my flowers and background using distress inks adding layers of color and allowing the ink to dry in between to add texture and deepen the color. I then die cut the background using a SSS Frame and used one of the sentiments from the SSS Sentiment Strips to add my greeting.

I finished off the card by adding a few clear drops and coloring in the center of the flower petals with Liquid Pixie Dust.

For this next card, I die cut the Dahlia Frame from a piece of white card stock. Then on a piece of Bristol paper, I did some controlled ink smooching by adding distress inks to an acrylic block, misting it with water and pressing it on to the paper. Next, I glued the die cut dahlia frame to the colored background and trimmed that to the size of the frame. I then glued that onto the center of my card base. The thin frame I used comes from the SSS Frames and the sentiment I used I cut from the SSS Sentiment Strips.

To finish I added glossy accents into the wells of the flower cuts and glue some sparkling sequins.

Get Well Soon Surprise Slider Tea Card ft. Honey Bee Stamps


Hello my crafty Friends!

Today I have another fun interactive card to share with you, this one is pretty clean and simple.
I thought it would be fun to make a Get Well Soon Card by creating a Surprise Slider for the tea bag, cause who doesn't like a cup of Tea when they are feeling sick.

As you can see in the next picture the tea bag slides out of the mug by pulling up on the tag.  So fun!

To create the card was actually quite simple. 

I stamped the image of the mug on to my card panel, masking the existing tag that was on the stamp. I also stamped and die cut the rest of the images I was going to use and die cut them out with the coordinating dies

Next, I cut a straight slit across the top of the mug with a blade (wide enough for the tea bag to slide through the opening). I then pierced the top of the tea bag and threaded some bakers twine through the hole. Next, secured the string to the back of the bag with multi medium matte glue and taped it down. Also to the back of the tea bag I added and acetate strip to give the bag some length to allow for the up and down movement. Once the glued pieces of the sliding tea bag were all dry, I inserted the bag through the open slit on the mug. I then created a "stopper' by gluing a few pieces of paper horizontally to the bottom of the acetate piece (this was to prevent the bag from popping out of the slit). Then created the channel for the slider by using foam tape. 

I then added the border frame to the top panel, using foam tape to pop it up but leaving a gap for the pull tag to peak through. Once that was done I added the panel to the card base. I finished the card by stamping the sentiment and adding some finishing touches.

Sending You Strength and HUGS Sympathy Card - Die Impression Cut Out


Hello Friends,

I'm back today to share with you a sympathy card I made for my Sisters' friend, who recently lost her mother. Usually I like to make happy cards, so I find sympathy cards challenging to make. I wanted to make it clean and simple card and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I think I will have to make a few more like it to have on hand.

Sending You Strength and HUGS Sympathy Card - Die Impression Cut Out

To create the impression on the heart I taped the staked heart dies together and sandwiched the cardstock between the dies and an embossing pad. Doing this just presses the dies into the paper without cutting them leaving this beautiful impression on the cardstock. The I removed the center heart dies leaving only the large die ran that as I normally would to create a die cut.

For the Hugs die, I cut out 3 layers stacked and glued them together. I then used my versamark ink pad and added two layers of silver embossing powder and heat set them. The sentiment strip was created by combining a couple of sentiments from the Essential Sentiment Stamp Set. Not pictured here but the inside was finished with the "with sympathy" stamp.

Hope you were inspired by this Sending You Strength and HUGS Sympathy Card.
Stay tuned for another card from my Holiday Card series coming soon!
