Simply Saturday: Episode 213 Card Design

I had a design in mind this week, where the words were just simple blocks sitting on top of a beautiful piece of paper. This is what I came up with and posted as Simply Saturday episode 213 on my YouTube channel.

You can see that it’s actually quite simple. Some Garden Green cardstock forms the base. A layer of Petunia Pop cardstock frames the DSP (called Florals in Bloom). And then just 3 scraps of cardstock, each with words on it.

Then I decided to step it up and add some die cutting. What started as simple ended with WOW. Some arch die cuts and the word Lovely die cut with a shadow added…

Put it all together and you get this…
