cardstock day 1

Hello Beautiful Friends, How are you? I created a series of three cards before Simon Says Stamp released their new colors. It's amazing how often I reach for these bold colors but, in the last release the spring colors....I could bathe in them.

Here are the new colors and they work so beautifully with many of the bold colors:
It's fun to cut some strips of cardstock and glue them down. Of course a beautiful die cut brings it all together like this "Hello" and "Beautiful". Put some color on the inside for a bright pop when the recipient opens your card. Die cut your sentiment several times for more dimension. I love flipping the word for a design element. I will be back in a few days for card number two. As always I am grateful for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

P.S. Have you tried this post it masking tape? It's awesome for holding down dies, stencils and great for masking. Great invention!

It is so simple & obvious to glue down strips of cardstock to make a card. And it turns out to be so striking! I think I may need to return to the basics!
