Today’s card was inspired by me attempting to clean off my desk. Isn’t that a scary thought? I found leftover pieces of projects and instead of tossing them, I decided to make a card. Except it is using the same layout as yesterday’s card. Because that card was still on the desk as well. There is a lesson in there somewhere, but that is for another day. Here is card number 2 of a simple layout.
Aside from the same layout as yesterday, this card is almost completely made up of retiring products. If you missed yesterday’s card, you can see it HERE
Paper
The only item on the card that is Not retiring is this sneak peek of one of the 2022-2024 In Colors. It is the card base and is called Parakeet Party. Compared to Granny Apple Green it is a bit lighter and brighter. The die cut little tag with the washi tape was from a challenge a week ago. As I said in that post, you could do the same technique with scraps of DSP and/or cardstock. And to match those colors, I chose this star sheet from the Hey Sports Fan Designer Series Paper that is also retiring. It matched the yellow in the tag perfectly.
Stamps and Dies
The tag and sentiment are from the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle. I was slow to appreciate this bundle and now am sad to see it leave. There are some sweet sentiments and great dies. My favorite is the sweet sentiment I used here. And the die cut layer beneath the tag is a really wonderful one from the Hippo & Friends Dies. These are truly awesome dies with three different layering sets of various, and very different, shapes. I will truly miss these dies.
Finishes
Yesterday’s card was pretty and simple. This one does have die cuts and raised layers as well as the couple of different shapes. It could not stay as “simple” as the other one. And to complete this card I went with a match to the DSP. The Resin Stars from the Hey Sports Fans Suite are adorable and perfect for the star paper. I personally either use three embellishments or just one. This one got the full treatment of three. The little sentiment needed one of the smaller ones!
