Hi friends! My delayed Simon Says Stamp package arrived along with my latest designs from the Kisses release. Today's cards feature my new Slay die.
I created two similar, but different cards to share today.
For each card, I added a bit of inking to the tops and bottoms of my alphas. This is a little more subtle in the card where I cut the letters from colored cardstock, but I think it adds just a bit of depth to the die cuts.
I used the same inks for both cards: Cherry, Tidepool, and Aegean.
Once I had finished adding the inking, I fit the letters together. I found this was easiest to do from right to left because the letters line up against each other more on the right side so they serve as a guide for one another.
For the second card, I actually die cut two shadow pieces, then die cut the sentiment from the center of one. The second shadow piece was used as my base, and the other pieces were then inlaid together on top of it.
To finish off my die cut sentiments, I created some fun backgrounds.
The first card features my Dimensional Rectangles stencils which were inked with a light layer of Cherry, a heave layer of Cherry, and then Tidepool and Aegean.
The background was then trimmed down and adhered to my card base, and the sentiment was popped up over top.
For the second card, I cut a panel of white cardstock and die cut the shadow piece from the center. This piece was then embossed using the Crystal Distortion embossing folder and popped up with foam tape over my card base. I actually embossed this panel upside down, but decided I really liked the look of the reverse side, so just went with it.
I finished things off by inlaying the sentiment piece in the center of the frame and adhering it to the card base with foam tape.
Hope your week is going well!
