Doesn't the die-cut word pack a punch?! It was cut with one of the new Expressions Thinlits dies (p.36 of the seasonal catalogue). TIP: If you find a word doesn't pop easily out of your new die, try tapping the die with your embossing buddy before using it to cut your card stock.
The die says 'thankful' in fact but I chopped the end off with my paper snips to leave the word 'thank' and teamed it with the word 'you' from Oh Hello. I layered these over some beautifully subtle washi tape strips. One is a herringbone design from the new Season of Style washi tape pack (p.25 of the new catalogue) which I've found works brilliantly with many of the other Stampin' Up designs like this one from the Epic Day pack.
I loved making this simple card and have plenty more ideas up my sleeve for using these dies - watch this space!
Here's what you'll need to make this card
Stamps: Oh Hello
Ink: Pumpkin Pie marker
Card stock: Naturals Ivory, Basic Black
Other: Word window punch, Expressions thinlits dies, Big Shot, Epic Day and Season of Style washi tape

I was talking to my daughter (who must have been taking a brief break from going to parties) yesterday. "You sound like a bally fool to me!" I said, pretending to be a cross posh person. "Oh no Mummy!" she protested. "I wouldn't mind being a ballet foal but not a bally fool!" She does keep me amused!
See you tomorrow,
Love how you made this Vicky-that die is fabulous-I can imgine it will be well used!
ReplyDeleteI love the image of the Ballet Foal(coplete with pink Tutu and point shoes tee hee!)

Very striking card Vicky. Good idea to use just part of the word.

The bright orange is certainly very eye-catching with those subtle washi tapes, and the overall effect is wonderfully elegant. I'm so pleased you had a nice time away with your family and hope you are enjoying the last few days of holiday before your children return to school.
ReplyDeleteLovely CAS simple card Vicky and love the die

Thanks for the tip on using the Embossing Buddy......
I do love how you've used that die Vicky...I would've done the same! 'Thankful' is just not used so much in England I find!
