Keepin' it Simple!

 

Howdy all!  Today I thought I'd share a super simple card using some of the brand new "Beautiful New Year" products from Catherine Pooler Designs.

I began this card by cutting some CP Premium White cardstock using the fabulous "Mod Strips Cover Plate Die".  Then I took piece of light weight computer paper and applied some adhere all over a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece.  I took the strips of paper and applied them all over the back ground in a hap hazard V-like pattern.  I then applied some Sauna ink so it would catch in the seams.

Next I stamped the large bloom from the "Beautiful Day Floral" stamp set using Samba ink and die cut it our using its coordinating die.  I cut the image completely into two parts and applied them to my cover plate piece and then add my sentiment strip with a tiny sliver of patterned paper from the "Fleur De 6x6" paper collection.

Voila!  A card!  So simple!

Thanks fro stopping by!  I hope this inspires you to create today!

Peace & Joy: Silhouette Cameo Happiness!

I couldn't resist creating some fun holiday cards to share with you today.  I was pondering how I wanted to best show how versatile the beautiful "Peace and Joy" stamp set is so I pulled up my Peace & Joy Silhouette Cut File and began to design a simple panel for a cute card front. I designed the panel to capture part of each word from the beautiful stamp set; hanging part of the image in the air.

Here is the first card panel I designed using the word and stamp "JOY".  See how the word hangs over the top of the panel?  The dark green is all one piece of paper and makes for a really simple and cute card front.

I wrapped my card panel using some pretty "Moss Green" Seam Binding Ribbon from the "Pistachio" Color Made Easy collection. My A2 card base is made from "Sea Salt" cardstock from the "Emerald Coast" Color Made Easy cardstock collection.  It matched perfectly to the greeny-blue in the striped patterned paper I used.

For my second I card I started with a card base made from "Patch" cardstock from the "Pistachio" Color Made Easy cardstock collection.  Once again, I designed a panel to fit the stamped word "PEACE" from the beautiful "Peace and Joy" stamp set so I pulled up my Peace & Joy Silhouette Cut File again and designed a longer panel to fit my stamp.

Once again, I wrapped my card panel using some pretty "Moss Green" Seam Binding Ribbon from the "Pistachio" Color Made Easy collection and added a few mini pearls to finish off my card.

I used a YG17 Copic Marker from the Green Grass Copic Collection to add a little bit of darker green to the stamped and embossed holly embellishments for both cards.

Thanks for joining me today!  I hope my cards inspire you to pull out your stamps and cut files and have a go at creating something fun.

Ally.
