Hello, there crafty friends! Today I am up sharing more of my card creations for Simple Stories!
This collection is called "My Story" and it is absolutely the cutest! The colors and icons in this collection invoke all the things that make "Me Time" so special. Coffee cups, pretty plants, stacks of books just waiting to be read and so much more!
Here are the 8 cards that I designed with this collection - all my cards are a2 sized and made with white cardstock card bases.
Let's take a closer look at each of the cards one by one shall we?
This first card has one of the adorable tags from the Tag Element papers as the sentiment. Aren't the greens in this collection so lovely? Some flowers, a pretty little bird, and a gorgeous large flower peeking out from behind the tag finish this cute card off!

On this next card, I had fun layering some of the many icons up and making a little desk-type of scene. The cute "Good Vibes" sentiment from the Chipboard Stickers takes center stage for a bold greeting! I added this super fun corrugated paper from my stash for a little bit of extra texture.

Another horizontally oriented card was just perfect to highlight this very cute bicycle from the Chipboard Stickers. I love the dimension the chipboard adds to an otherwise flat card! the "Choose Joy" sticker from the Foam Stickers is a great sentiment to send to someone who needs a little cheering up!

Pretty butterflies are abundant on this fun card! The "Good Vibes" tag is from the Tag Elements paper and it is a new fun size that normally isn't the shape the tags are, this one was meant to be more of a bookmark size and fit perfectly on my card front. I also added some pretty sheer ribbon to the top with a Decorative Brad in the center.

Cute cameras were such a fun addition to the collection! To go with the camera- a cute "Smile" sentiment from the Bits and Pieces die cuts made a great addition to the card front. There are some great pattern papers that I layered up on this card for a little variety!

On this card, I knew I wanted to use a couple of the beautiful floral die cuts from the Floral Bits and Pieces - so I created a fun library card style pocket from some of the Apricot Color Vibe Cardstock to create a holder for the flowers. The Happy Day tag is from the chipboard pieces on the Decorative Brad sheet - these are awesome to use on cards for their perfect smaller size!

I am a sucker for a good collection that has black and bright colors paired together. When I saw the bold, black tag paired with the greens and the pinks in the collection - I fell in love! Another little computer desk scene along the bottom of the card makes for a fun design element!

This last card is one of my favorites. As a book lover - I knew I needed to use the super cute book shelf pattern paper from the 6x6 Paper pad that made a great background to layer more fun elements to this card! The sentiments are 3 stickers that I found in the Sticker Book and made for such a good reminder of all the things that we should be doing daily!
