SSS DIEcember release

Hi all!  Popping in today with a couple of super easy clean and simple projects using the new Bold Thankful Die from Simon Says Stamp's Diecember release.

I love long skinny tags, and when I saw this die, I thought it would be perfect for tags.  I cut some tag bases from white and Kraft cardstock that were 1 1/4" x 5".  

Then, I selected a bunch of pattered paper scrap pieces and die cut those.  This is a perfect way to use up those 2" scraps you get when you cut down patterned paper from a 6" x 6" paper pad for card fronts.

After adhering the die cut pieces to my tag bases, I added a hole at the top using my Crop-O-Dile and some twine and that was it.  These would be perfect for dressing up party favors/gifts.

I also wanted to create a card using the die, and ended up with this super graphic CAS design.  

To create the card, I use washi to tape together to pieces of cardstock.  Then I die cut that piece lining up the die over the seam.  I also die cut a piece of white cardstock.  The colored pieces were inlaid into my white cardstock frame.

Using the same colors of cardstock, I cut two panels, one 1 3/4" and the other 2 1/4" by 5 1/4".  These were adhered directly to my card base.  I used the color for the top of my inlaid letters on the bottom of the card base, and the other on top.

The die cut piece (which I popped up with foam tape) was then centered over top so that the seam between the cardstock panels lined up with the seam between the top and bottom the letters.

Really simple, but I love the effect.

Thanks for visiting, be sure to head over to Simon Says Stamp to see the rest of the Diecember release.  Lots of great new dies!
