Wishing I Could Be There
Hi there! I hope you’re having a great Saturday so far! I’m so pleased to have the lovely and talented Kelly Rasmussen back as a guest on our blog to share this fun blog idea using some pretty BasicGrey papers, along with some SSS exclusive stamps & dies! I can’t get enough of that pretty seafoam green color featured in the Fresh Cut paper pack. What about you? Kelly will share a few more details below of how she made this card. Enjoy!
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be back as a guest on the Simon Says Stamp blog! Today my card features some fabulous products from one of BasicGrey’s newest collections called Fresh Cut. One of my favorite embellishments in the collection are the wood veneer die cuts — I love that they are already colored! For the background I stamped the Tiny Triangles cling stamp with Hero Arts Tide Pool Mid-Tone Shadow Ink and then used a craft knife to cut out a few of the diamond shapes to allow the orange paper to show through.
You might also recognize that I used a couple of great Simon Says Stamp products — the Curved Edge Die and the Banner Sayings clear stamp set. This sentiment is perfect for so many birthday cards I send!
