Return of the super simple card! Here’s a variation on a simple card….
I’m not sure if it’s because summer is winding up (sorrrrryyyyy to mention that) or things are gearing up for back to school/back to routine but life seems to be a bit busier than usual right now – or is it just me??
I’ve been busy putting the final touches on the Shake It Up! Class, and truth be told, I have had the Taylor Switft song that I used for the Tik Tok video stuck in my head since I uploaded it! (haha video linked so you can share my ear worm…). In any case, here’s a variation on a simple card that stays still, which is a nice break for me after editing shaker card videos! *sigh of relief*.
I call this a variation on a simple card because of my previous post about the World’s Most Simple Card…it’s similar but different….
Have I mentioned that Masterfully Made is one of my current favourite Designer Series Papers?! Perhaps you’ve guessed that since it shows up on a semi-regular basis in my shared projects of late. In any case, a simple card that still looks impressive thanks to the patterned paper. I coordinated the backing cardstock (Pumpkin Pie) with the orange shade in the paper, and then added the die cut in Basic White to highlight the torn edges on the DSP and also to make it stand out on its own. I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Basic White Cardstock before running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the leaf die from the Artistic Dies. I love that die for adding a large decorative element to my cards! The Adhesive Sheet makes it super easy to apply this detailed die cut to the card. As a bonus, often when removing the backing adhesive liner, it pulls out any little offcut bits that might remain in the die cut!
