I have had a hard time of getting my mind wrapped around the Online Exclusives. Basically I forget to look at them. I am old fashioned and love the catalog in my hand. However, now that I have begun checking out the Online offerings, I am in love. And looking on the website is becoming normal. I shop on websites all the time.

All of this said, today’s card is made with a fabulous Online Exclusive Die set. It is the Everyday Arches. There are several of them and they all layer. That is my favorite thing! So after all of my talking, here is the card.

STAMPS

The arches are what I began with, but this amazing stamp is also a star. It is similar to a stamp set we had previously that I loved. The name is Shadowed Shapes. And that is a perfect name for these stamps. When I saw this set of two stamps I knew I had to have it. The stamp is a negative really. To add color to the detailed cut out places I went over them carefully with Shaded Spruce and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers. I used the direct to rubber technique of using the brush tip to gently go over the stamp. In this case it was going over the fine cut out pieces.

To begin with I had to decide on the solid color of the stamp. In thinking of the strawberries as they are shown, I decided it needed to be sky blue. Balmy Blue was my choice. I inked the stamp with the Balmy Blue and then used the markers to do their thing. Of course I love that it also has an arched top. The inside of the card has sentiments from the awesome Unbounded Love stamp set.

PAPERS

There is no designer paper today. It shocks me every time. I went with the colors from the strawberries. The Real Red makes a bold arch for the stamp. To keep things somewhat simple, even though the arches are a standout, I went with Basic White for the card base.

The cutting of the Real Red arch left a perfect layer for an outline. When I really looked at it, I decided it had to go on the inside of the card. The sentiments are from the Unbounded Love stamp set. Here is the inside open view.

EXTRAS

The Everyday Arches are my star as mentioned several times. I used the 3rd and 5th from largest to cut the images. For the texture touches I add a ribbon of the Shaded Spruce Satin & Sheer Ribbon. It is wrapped around and secured on the back then a separate pieces is tied in a knot on the front. Easy Peasy! And the final touch is the bling. Even though these are not shiny bling, I love them. They are from the Regal Foiled Adhesive Dots. I chose to use both the red and the green for a different look.
