A Clean & Simple Bridal Shower Card

Welcome to a new KCRR challenge!


Clean & Simple
Rain or Shine Stamp Set
Delicate Doilies Sizzlit Die

As you already know, clean and simple is usually not my style, so this was a challenge for me! However, this simple sketch from Viva La Verve was the perfect start to my card design:




It's hard to say if this card falls under "clean & simple", but I really like how it turned out! The Card Concept defines "clean and simple" quite well:

  • One main image
  • Lots of open space (uncluttered)
  • Limited layers & embellishments
  • Quick & easy to recreate

The designer paper strips and the delicate doilies really add some detail to the card. To make the doily stand out against the busy background, I sponged the edges with Smokey Slate ink. The rhinestones add the perfect embellishment to the sentiment. 


Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to visit Karly's Creations to see how she used these elements in her card!

Card Ingredients:
Stamps: Rain or Shine
Paper: Smokey Slate, So Saffron, Whisper White, Eastern Elegance DSP
Ink: Smokey Slate
Tools: Delicate Doilies Sizzlit Die

Recipe Box

Happy Friday!

One of the many things I will be selling at the craft fair this weekend are recipe boxes. I covered boxes with designer paper from one of my favourite DSP collections in this year's Stampin Up catalogue - Eastern Elegance. I just love the colour combos in this designer paper! 
 
The letters are cut out using my Cricut mini. I don't use this machine often, but when it comes to cutting out letters, it is so handy! I then added rhinestones to give it some sparkle. 

 
I made index cards for inside, using the same colours as the DSP:
