What Do You Put on the Inside of Your Card? Yippee for Yana
Hi friends! Please join me in welcoming back the oh-so-talented and amazing Yana Smakula! (Please note: our dear friend Yana is Ukrainian. To show support to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, please see Yana’s post HERE.)
Hello, crafters, this is Yana Smakula for Simon Says stamp! Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video!
What do you do on the inside of your card? Truth be told, I rarely do anything and I just keep it boring and blank. But this time I challenged myself to continue the card design from the front to the inside of my card! I hope you’ll join me and create a card with a simple design repeated on the inside.
I used the circle mask from Simon Says Stamp to ink blend a sun using 3 shades of orange ink – Cantaloupe, Sherbet, and Mandarin. Next, I used the Horizon Line stencil, this stencil has a brilliant design, you can simply slide your cardstock panel into or between the sections that you want to ink blend and you not only have the stencil but also the mask to protect the areas you have already blended. I used Galaxy, Twilight, and Morning to ink blend the bottom part of my panel. Next, I used a rectangle die and I trimmed this panel down.
Next, I used my mini MISTI stamping tool and stamped the sentiment in the center of the sun. I was going for a snarky card and my sentiment reads – The hours I spend on this card simply pale in comparison to how much I spend on the supplies to create it! This stamp is from Cathy Zielske, who is the master of unique and snarky sentiments! I stamped this in VersaFine Onyx black ink.
Next, I stamped a bunch of bird silhouettes – these come from 2 different stamp sets from Simon and these happen to be among my favorites, I keep going back to these sets again and again – these are the Seas and Greetings and the Your Light sets.
Next, I foam mounted this panel onto the A2 card base, I used black fun foam, I typically use white, but I’m out of white, so black it is for this card!
Now let’s talk about the inside of the card! Typically the inside is left blank, this time I challenged myself to repeat the card design on the inside and I ink-blended an identical panel.
I stamped a different sentiment, this one reads Hugs! You Are Literally My favorite and I adhered to this panel on the inside of my card and I love this result! Have fun creating!

My mouth dropped when I saw the stencil was also the protection needed to use it. Whomever designed this needs a BIG fat raise as they are genius! Yana’s card is really cute with ‘needed’ sentiments used.
I always put something on the inside of my cards–but I make them for specific people. I love that new horizon stencil, just brilliant!
Great card – love the design – love the snarky sentiment (that is, of course, also TRUE) – love the inside. I almost always put something inside to carry over the theme from the cover of the card (aka the front). As always, Yana, you get an A+!!

Stunning card, inside & out. I usually leave mine blank till I use them then ! Decide what I want inside depending on who it’s for . X
