I have several more clean and simple cards to share today....maybe not specifically simple but definitely leaning more towards my clean card making style. This first one might be my favorite....
This card was made using the new Takes the Cake stamp + stencil, Banner die and Stand die. To add in some hot foil shine, I used the Glow plate above the cake. This new stamp and stencil combo is absolutlety gorgeous. Not only does it create the perfect cake, it will make a little mini background for other cards as well.
I diverted off the birthday path a little and used one of the new stencil sets called Gifts Galore....and well....made it into a baby quilt! The fun thing about the Gifts Galore stencil set is that it works perfectly with the Curio: Divider and Details II die. So I just had to take a left turn and pair it with the
Baby Face: Lamb Dies (and
Baby Face Sentiments Stamp Set) from last month. So fun right?
Last up, we have the Hey Cupcake Die Set, the
Sweet & Fancy Labels stamp set and die, and the hot foil plate, mixed in with the Window Dressing Dotted Scallops die. All these combined make the perfect little box of cupcakes!
First I stamped the Sparkler Background Stamp on some coral cardstock. I die cut all the pieces to create 4 tasty little cupcakes. All the details to add on top are so much fun! I gave them each a gold cardstock foil wrapper and added them to the card. Next, I die cut the Window and popped it up on foam tape. This would make the perfect shaker card, but I left mine open.
To finish off the card, I used the Sweet and Fancy Labels Hot Foil Plate to create a little embossed label for the "box". It was so easy to make by die cutting the frame first, then running it through with my embossing mat to create this amazing dimension.
I stamped the sentiment to finish it off!
