Here is a fun layout we used at a recent Connie’s Craft Along event. It is a CASE (copy and selectively edit) from page 23 of the new Annual Catalogue. I used the card in the centre bottom to inspire our crafting.

Why I Love This Layout

I love this layout for its simplicity and yet the opportunity to show off so many creative elements that I could use on my cards.

The Details

This layout is great to show off some of our Designer Series Paper, as I have done here with the Artfully Composed DSP. I used one of the Tropical Layers Dies to cut the zigzag bottom on the DSP. It also shows off some great die cuts, like the big palm leaf, and the great sentiment from the Artfully Layered Bundle. This bundle will retire at the end of June.

The circle die cut has an image from the Bamboo Beauty stamp set, and I have used the generation stamping technique to stamp it a second and third time without reinking, giving my image some great shading and texture. The card is embellished with some Brushed Metallic Dots.

For this card I used a piece of the Tulips Dies die cut and the New Horizons DSP. The New Horizons DSP will be retiring at the end of June and is currently on low inventory, so grab some now while you can. I used the new 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds in Fresh Freesia to add some sparkle to this card.

The final card uses products from the new Annual Catalogue. The DSP is Butterfly Kisses. It is so bright and colourful, it makes every card happy! The stamps for the images and sentiment are both from the Heron Habitat stamp set, and the main coloured featured is Parakeet Party. I used 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots and Iridescent Pearls to embellish this card.
