Interactive cards – A Red Letter Day

Today I am sharing a project I created featuring products from Simon Says Stamp. I posted this on Instagram as it is part of the To Be Loved hop. I hope you will hop along!

Products used:

~Always and Forever stamp set from Simon Says Stamp

~You Are cling stamp from Simon Says Stamp

~Heart Frames from Newton’s Nook Designs

How I created this:

I stamped the large heart image onto Hammermill 100# smooth card stock and colored it with Copic Markers.
I die cut it using the stitched heart die from the Heart Frames die set. (There is a coordinating die for the Always and Forever set and this would work as well)
I die cut a heart out of pink card stock and white card stock.
I stamped the You Are stamp, using Pebble ink from Concord and 9th, onto Fog card stock. Then, I cut that down to 3 3/4″ x 5″.
Next, I figured out where I wanted the hearts and lightly marked with a pencil where they would overlap on the Fog panel, so I could stamp th sentiment and have it be hidden by the hearts. I carefully erased the guides.
I scored the hearts using a score board approx. 1″ from the right side on the white stamped heart and 1″ from the left side of the pink heart. (I really just eye-balled this as I wanted the hearts to be on an angle on the card.)
I folded the scored hearts and adhered them to the back of the Fog panel. This created the interactive pieces. (see images below)
I stamped the sentement onto the white heart to finish the front of the card.
I added the third white heart to the back of the copic-colored, stamped heart. I cut part of the heart off since part of the stamped heart was folded behind the panel. This additional heart piece is just to cover up the ink that came through on my coloring.
I adhered all of this to a top folding A2 card base, added a few white gel pen dots to the flower centers and finished it off with a sheer bow.

Thanks for stopping by!

I certainly hope so! I am so thrilled to have joined Divinity Designs as a guest designer. I have always been a huge fan of their unique dies and I appreciate all of their uplifting stamps and sentiments.

This month they have released the Twist and Pop die. This die helps you to create a fun, pop up feature to the inside of your card!

For my card I used the Great Faith stamp/die duo for the florals and sentiments. I really love the hibiscus image, so I stamped it in a light ink to create a floral background. I’m so pleased at how this turned out. I stamped and Copic colored several more of the hibiscus images and then die cut them to place on my card.

Here are the other supplies I used on this card : A2 Portrait Card Base and Layer, Oval Dies, Pierced Oval Dies and the Twist and Pop with Layers die.

Here is another card I created from the new release. This card features the My World stamp/die duo. This set contains lots of sentiments that would be perfect for Mother’s Day as well as some pretty rose images. I also incorporated the Delicate Doily Die that I decided to use the inlaid die-cutting technique. I have been creating lots of “thinking of you” cards during this pandemic. I believe this card would be perfect to send to one of my far away relatives.

For this card I used the following additional supplies from Divinity Designs LLC: Shabby Rose Collection paper pack, Bitty Blossoms Dies , Rectangle Dies, Pierced Rectangle Dies and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.

For this card, I really wanted the Delicate Doily Die to be the focus. I die cut 2 doilies and offset layered them. I stamped the sentiment from the Great Faith Stamp/Die Duo directly onto the top layer of the doily. Lots of rectangle layers to complete the background.

For this card I used the following additional supplies from Divinity Designs LLC: Shabby Rose Collection paper pack, Rectangle Dies, Pierced Rectangle Dies and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.

I hope you are inspired to check out the new release from Divinity Designs. Thanks for stopping by!
