Hi Stampers!
I
am in awe of stampers that can create Clean and Simple (CAS) cards and though
they are not my natural style, I keep trying:-).
I love the CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge site and decided to try to
create a card for the CTS61 Sketch using the FabFri34 Color Challenge.
I
actually ended up making two different cards- I failed to create a CAS card
on the first try (since I kept adding layers) and it became a Clean and Layered card
versus Clean and Simple….so I had to try again, thus this second card :-)
If
you have not checked out either challenge site yet, I hope you have the time to
check them out- both have terrific Design Team samples as well as the other entries!
To
create the Clean and Simple (CAS) card:
Use
the Big Shot™ with Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a
piece of Whisper White cardstock.
Layer
a piece of the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper (from the Fresh Prints Stack)
to the embossed background, trim and mount the entire panel onto a piece of
Real Red cardstock and again onto the Whisper White card base (I popped this
layer up with Stampin’ Dimensionals®).
Stamp
the sentiment from Express Yourself using Real Red Classic Ink onto Whisper
White cardstock, punch out using the Word Window Punch and cut the banner using
the Hexagon Punch.
Layer
all three sentiment banners onto a strip of Real Red cardstock, cut the banner
on the end with the Hexagon Punch and round the other end by inserting the
strip into the Word Window Punch and punch only the inserted end. Adhere to the card front using Stampin’
Dimensionals®.
Add
the Rhinestones between the sentiments to finish off the card.
Stamp
Sets: Express Yourself
Ink: Real Red
Paper:
Whisper White, Real Red, Fresh Prints DSP Stack
Accessories: Big Shot™, Stylish Stripes Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder, Punches- Hexagon and Word Window Punch, Rhinestones
I will post my first try which is more of a "Clean and Layered" card later this evening…Thanks for stopping
by :-)
Very nice! Great texture and visual interest! I'm not very good at diagonal stuff...brain wont' work that way, ha! So I love seeing people who can do it well! Thanks for playing at Fab Friday!
ReplyDeleteOh, this one is fabulous! I love the colours and texture you added!
ReplyDeleteI like the bold pattern as your diagonal layer and the little sentiment arrows are cute...very smart to punch them with the word window and hexie punches! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
ReplyDeleteVery cute card!! Love how you put the DSP at the same angle as the embossed striped!! And I love the "Love You" banners!! Thank you for joining us at Fab Friday!!!
