Sometimes you need a card to send ‘Just Because’. This quick and easy card is ideal for saying ‘Hi’.
Sometimes we need a quick card to send someone, and today’s project by Kendra, gives us a fresh idea that we can make with a fast turn around time. We love how this card seriously looks like it took so much longer than it did, simply by the paper choice, the inverted die cut usage and the decorative border die Kendra chose. Follow along as Kendra shows us how to make a CAS (clean and simple) ‘Hello’ Card.
How to make this card:
- Kendra started her card by creating an A2 sized card base, sized 5.5″x4.25″.
- Die cut the 5.25″x4″ rectangle from the ‘5802-03D Dot Dash Nested Rectangles‘ from white cardstock.
- Die cut the hello shadow layer from ‘5801-01D Hello with Shadow Die‘ on an angle in the center of the rectangle die cut.
- Place the ‘Just to say hello’ sentiment from ‘36030 Always Peony‘ stamp set to the upper left of the shadow hello to your liking. Mask the ‘hello’ part. (Kendra likes to use Post-it Notes and/or masking tape for this part. This stepped can be skipped if you think you can ink the sentiment carefully avoiding the hello.) Ink sentiment with black ink. Remove the Post-it Note and/or masking tape before stamping the sentiment. Repeat step if needed.
- Cut a piece of dark marbled paper 5.25″ x 4″ from ‘2204 Marbled Perfection‘.
- Add foam tape behind white hello shadow layer piece. (Adding the foam tape can be skipped if you’d like.) Adhere to marbled layer.
- Die cut the hello layer from ‘5801-01D Hello with Shadow Die‘ from white cardstock. Add glue to backside and then add to shadow opening.
- Adhere to card base.
- Finish by adding pearls to card base.
Don’t you just love the end result? That marbled paper in the background is so beautiful, it makes the ‘Hello’ stand out so much! Beautiful card inspiration for the day, now we are off to get crafty! Be sure to tag us in your creations and follow us on Instagram.
