Bold Hello

February 27, 2020

Hi there! Just popping in to share a project using the Bold Hello die by Simon Says Stamp. This cute little die was included in the latest March Card Kit.

SSS-Bold Hello

I die cut a bunch of hellos using solid colored cardstock and then popped them up on an angle and framed it using some Fog cardstock.

SSS-Bold Hello

This is a great way to use up some of those scraps, although, the more I try to use up my scraps, the bigger my scraps grow. How does this happen? It’s one of life’s great mysteries:) Thanks so much for stopping!

Circle Patterns

February 25, 2020

Hi there! Today I have a fun project to share with you that was inspired by a painting I saw on Instagram. The artist’s name is Angela Johal and below is her glorious acrylic masterpiece.

I wanted to try and adapt this onto a card. Wasn’t sure if it was possible, but I was going to try. I used 12 different shades of solid colored cardstock along with the Nested Circle dies to create the rings.

SSS-Nested Circle Dies, CZ Love You

For the sentiment I used the CZ Love You dies. If you look closely you can see that some of the rings…well, almost all of the rings are not matching up precisely. This bothers me to no end:) I don’t think I’ll be able to rest until I can get this idea with a cleaner result, but I am loving where this is headed.

Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.

That’s all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by!
