Birthday Wishes

Hello!  I made this card using a die cut to create a stencil then I sponged the edge of a white cardstock with the stencil using DOI Picked Raspberry. ( I used Modern Flower Card Wrap die from Simon Says Stamp - the die cut is shown in the photo below.)  I added a rounded green border to the stenciled area that I cut with two circle dies, one with stitching. I stamped a Gina K Design birthday sentiment with same pink ink and then dry embossed the flourish and words below the sentiment with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I inked the raised design with DOI. Finished with a GKD Grass Green card base.

Roses Wrapped Up

Hello!  I just found these photos of a card that I made some time ago and never posted or entered into a challenge.  It was the first time that I used Simon Says Modern Card Wrap Die to create a card. I also used a new Gina K stamp set Topical Flowers.  I cut the card base with the die from Bright Pink CS and folded the sides..  For the insert I used White CS cut 4.25" x 8.5" and folded.  On the front I stamped the Rose image in Black Ink and Colored with Copics.   On the inside I stamped the same image in Gray ink and added a sentiment and flower with Versamark and embossed with Pink EP.   I will also write a personal message inside.  I attached the white card inside the pink wrap and tied with a pink satin ribbon.  You can see in the photos how the square card was assembled.

Circle Gatefold Card

Front of Card (Closed)

Inside Card (Open)

 Hello! I have never made a circle gateway card …  always made them rectangle.  But I decided why not Round?   I used Simon Says Stamp Modern Flowers Card Wrap die to cut the "Gate" element from Pink CS.  (Not the way this die was designed to be used).  I cut the inside of the card using White CS with Stitched Circle die by Lawn Fawn.  Working out the folds before cutting was the tricky part.  On the inside of round card, I  stamped the Floral image from Gina K set You Make Me Smile with Versamark and heat embossed with White EP.  I water colored the image with a water brush and Distress Oxide Inks Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry, and  Peeled Paint. I used sentiments from the stamp set for the outside and inside stamped in the Peeled Paint. Used label die for the front tab.

CAS Sketch

 Hello!  Here I have a very Clean and Simple card....not much simpler that this.   I used Simon Says Stamp! Modern Flowers Card Wrap die to cut the design in a Pink Card Stock and folded. I added a White CS panel behind the cut out and a Avery Elle sentiment stamped on double die cut label. I like the elegant look of the cut design against the crisp white.
