Hi friends! Happy Sunday! Have a friend that is close in heart but far in distance? We have two fabulous card ideas for you by Cathy Zielske to make and send! Read on and enjoy!

Hi everyone! It’s Cathy Z. here and I’m so happy to be back on the Simon Says Stamp blog with another installment of Super Simple with me, Cathy Z.! Today’s card projects feature very simple ways to add color to your die cuts by simply using patterned paper.

All those lovely 6 x 6 pads in your stash are perfect for using with word and shadow die combos. Just cut the words from your favorite patterned paper and use matching solid colors for the shadow layer. I really love this paper from Heidi Swapp and thought it would work well for my miss you themed cards.

I stamped a big solid US map from my Miss You Missy clear stamp set directly onto my card base for a nice one-layer design.

For my second card project, I did a partial die cut heart shape using Simon Says Stamp’s Nested Heart Dies, and then covered the card panel with more of the Heidi Swapp paper, and finishing it off with my alternate die cut combo. Both cards feature preprinted Reverse Sentiment strips.

Here is the video showing you how I created these cards!
