My Story Cards - Simple Stories DT Project



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!

Live Your Dream

Card base - 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 " white cardstock
4 1/4 x 5 1/2 " Share Your Story 12x12 paper

Pink Ink - Kitch Flamingo
Live Your Dream Tag - Tag Element paper
Flower basket - Bits and Pieces
Yellow flower - Floral Bits and Pieces
Bird - Foam Stickers
Ribbon 
2 Enamel Dots
Large Pink Button & Crochet Thread



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. 

Good Vibes

Card base - 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 " white cardstock
4 x 5 1/4 " Just Be You 12x12 paper

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! 


Choose Joy

Card base - 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 " white cardstock

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. 

Good Vibes #2

Card base - 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 " white cardstock

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!


Enjoy Life

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!

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.
