Hi! As promised here is the video showing how I use the Impact Alphabet Dies to create a clean and simple card. This was the card that started it all. I really enjoyed playing around working with the limited supplies. Having made cards for over 12 years I have a lot of supplies. And I like many other also love playing with new stuff, so I do add to my stash regularly. Sometimes that makes me little overwhelmed, too much to choose from. So with this I decided to reduce my choices and I really like the outcome.
I ended up doing four versions of this card even though I only used two colour schemes. The video below will show how I put this together in one of the colour schemes, white and Summer Splash.
The idea started with the alphabet dies. I have seen these cards out there with these bold and big sentiments, I have done some myself, like THIS one. I wanted to do a super clean and simple one that was easy to be made in bulk, but still had enough details to be interesting. So I limited the colour scheme to white + one colour.
I knew I wanted to add a panel to my card base, it helps with framing. So I choose the one in the Blueprints 27 as it also have the little scalloped edge for extra detail. When layering the letters on the panel I felt it looked a little plain, so I decided to switch one of the letters to the other colour. This helped the eye to stay longer on the sentiment.
To finish off the sentiment I needed somewhere to stamp the New Year. So I cut a flag in white using another die from the Blueprints 27 set. I did shorten the flag, and I show you how to do this using the die in the video. I stamped the New Year stamp in coordinating ink in the flag. The only New Year stamp I had was one from a Hero Arts stamp set I had for years. When I cut it apart I accidentally cut a little too far in the A, but I didn’t mind. But for next year I’m definitely picking up another New Year stamp (or two).
The card was almost ready, but needed that little extra. So I created my own popup sticker by layering die cuts from the Sweet Snowflake die together, mixing the colours. I ended up making about 30 of these cards, I took my big shot with me to the living room and was watching movies while cutting out all the die cuts.
