Happy New Year friends. Here’s some quick and simple cards you can make using the Giant XOXO and Giant Be My Valentine Dies. I also used the Lawn Fawn Quilted Heart Backdrop: Landscape Die which may be one of my new favorites!
For the first card, I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100lb Doll Pink 8-1/2 x 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base. Then diecut the front panel with the Lawn Fawn Quilted Heart Backdrop: Landscape Die from Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and a piece of Stampin’ Up! Red 12 x 12 Glitter Paper (retired) to 4 x 5-1/4″ to add behind it.
I diecut 3 of the XOXO sentiment from Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn GIANT XOXO Die and 3 from Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock. I used Picked Raspberry Distress Ink to create an ombre effect on teh three sentiments then adhered them to the black ones, slightly shifting to create a shadow effect. I adhered all the pieces to the card base and this card is done! Super quick as I said previously.
On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ and adhered it to the inside of the card and stamped a sentiment and the hearts from the Lawn Fawn SCENT WITH LOVE ADD-ON Clear Stamps and Dies with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink.
