KCC #595 {Clean and Simple Birthday}

 

Welcome to "Krafty Chicks Thursday." 

This is our "CLEAN & SIMPLE" week, hosted by miss Diane. I am finding myself doing more and more Clean and Simple cards these days. Don't get me wrong, I still love a good multi-layer card filled with dimensions and texture, but these are nice to whip up when you are low on time ;) I really love going through the gallery of CAS week for lots of inspiring ideas.

KCC #595 {CLEAN & SIMPLE}

This card was made using this super cute die (not sure where it's from) and the Sending You Thoughts stamp set from Stampin' Up! I punched out a yellow sun and give it a bit of ink around the edges and that's about it. If a person wanted to, they could make a sponged background for added depth and color, but I decided to go the very CAS route.

I haven't had time during the holidays to get into my crafty space - so I'm sharing a GORGEOUS thank you card that my wonderful co-blogger, Diane, made as a thank you for ordering in our monthly stamp group. I love the colors and all the wonderful embossing she did. Here's a close up:

I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to all who've played our challenges and stopped in on my blog and shared love throughout 2021.

KCC #588 {STAMP ACT}

I fell in love with this stamp set and matching dies from Stampin' Up! the instant I saw it and I knew there would be so many different ways to create with it. I volunteered at work to make our customers Christmas cards and I knew I wanted to use this set. The cards I made for them were identical to this one, except I didn't use the lines of gemstones on the top and bottom of the middle panel. 

I CASE'd my idea from Chris Smith (click here) and tweaked mine a bit...I had a friend over last weekend to make cards, and she did an AMAZING scene with the stamps and dies - so versatile!

Here's a close up:

Materials:

Peaceful Cabin stamp set and Cabin Dies set; Oh Deer! designer paper, whisper white and basic black cardstock; basic black ink, dimensionals and gems.
