Simple Vintage Life in Bloom Cards

Hello there Simple Stories fans! My name is Tya Smith and I am so happy to be back designing for Simple Stories once more. Today I am sharing my first post for the new term and I am so excited to share what I  have been working on! I get the pleasure of designing handmade cards and this assignment was such a joy to create. I am using the gorgeous "Simple Vintage Life in Bloom" collection. 

 For my assignment, I have created 8 cards that a full of some of my favorite products to use, as well as a couple of products new to Simple Stories! Let's jump right in shall we? I've included the card measurements and the supplies I used on each card underneath each of their photos. 

Some of my favorite things about this collection are all the beautiful florals. This collection is brimming with all sorts of lovely flowers so they will be prominent in my designs. This card features the new Layered Chipboard Stickers. These add such a wonderful dimension which I love!

This card features some of the amazing Ephemera in the collection - I love that the ephemera was nice a large which made it super fun to layer and add embellishments to. Here I used the calendar piece and the blue ticket piece. I used one of the Chipboard Clusters as my focal point and then layered some pieces on top.
