SSS Just a Note, Citrus Slice Take 2

 *This post contains affiliate links to Simon Says Stamp.

Happy Tuesday!  I have a couple a more cards to share today featuring the Citrus Slice cover plate from Simon Says Stamp.

I had so many pieces left from the card I shared last week, that I thought I would create some more cards.

I used the navy, red, and white pieces to create a couple cards that have a fun nautical feel to them.

To mix things up a bit, I also trimmed down the cover plate pieces to create smaller panels.  Just as I did with last week's card, each of those pieces was backed with printer paper that I ran through my Xyron sticker machine to make inlaying the small pieces easier.

A coordinating mat and a Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strip that was popped up with foam tape finished things off.

I did change things up between the two cards by altering the orientation of the card.

Super quick and simple and it was great to get a couple more cards from all that die cutting!

A quick and simple card today. Clear and Simple stamps is the sponsor this week at Card Patterns. Whenever possible I try and use the sponsor's stamps, and in this case I used CSS's Love Cupid set. The set includes two flourishes/brackets that you can use separately, or join together to make this image. I had planned to include a sentiment, but the image was so strong, I really wanted it to be the focus of the card.

The scalloped circle die cut was cut using the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge and one of the papers from the Pemberley Level 2 pack. The background paper is from the Dotty for You paper pack. For the diagonal stripes I used two lengths of color ready seam binding, and then a strip of Outdoor Denim cardstock centered on top of those.

Hope you are having a good week. The highlight of my day was getting to see the shuttle Discovery on it's final 747 flight. It did an extended flyover of the DC region on it's way to the Udvar Hazy Air and Space Museum. Pretty cool.

And now for a shameless plug: If you love that yellow polka dot paper, it's from this month's CTMH special. With a $35 purchase, you can get it for only $5. There are 12 patterns that cover so many of the current trends: chevrons, butterflies, stripes, plaid, etc. The backside of each is this polka dot pattern in 12 different colors, and you get two of each, so 24 total sheets. If you'd like to get your own, please contact me.
