Simon Says Stamp | DIY Friendship Card. Let’s Be Besties!

Hello friends and happy Monday! It’s been so chilly and gloomy down here lately, I cannot wait for Spring to arrive. Guilty to admit we still have our Christmas decor up (simply because I haven’t had time to put it all away), but I’m planning to take it down as soon as I can find a spare moment and put some Spring flowers up!

CARD DETAILS

While I don’t yet have Spring decor in my home, I do have it in my craft corner – in form of flowers and blooms! Today’s card uses some of my all-time favorite floral stamps from Simon Says Stamp plus a new sentiment set from Cathy Z. What could be better?

I started making this card by stamping & coloring my flowers. I went with some of my go-to Copic marker colors for quick & easy colored look. I used: RV23, RV10, RV00, RV09 for the flowers and YG13, YG01, YG00and YG03 for the leaves. I also used coordinating dies to cut these beauties out.

To stamp a background I used Fossil ink color and my good old diagonal stripe background stamp. The simpler, the better, right? I trimmed my panel to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″ and adhered onto A2 white top folding card base. Next, I created a sentiment panel by stamping “Let’s Be Besties” and “Love You” in black ink on white cardstock. I cut it out, matted with glitter paper in color similar to my background and foam mounted the entire panel onto the card.

I also used foam adhesive for the flowers and leaves and once everything was set in places I embellished my card using a few sequins from the Satin Gown mix and a few dots using Antique Rose from Nuvo.

Now I just need to get it together and actually mail this card! Thank you for stopping by today!
