Hi everyone! All my posts are running a bit late today – sorry about that!
So we had a bonus class for Clean & Simple Card Making 2 yesterday, focusing on die cuts:
Before I go onto today’s card I just wanted to share some exciting news! The teachers of the class highlighted my Day 2 and Day 4 cards as part of their bonus class today – yay me!

Now then, back to today’s show!
I love my dies as you know, so I couldn’t wait to get started on this!
After a lot of umming and ahhing about just what I wanted to do, I settled on a negative die cut which would double up as a window card:
What do you think? Pretty funky huh?!
I started with a Stamper’s Select White card base. I took the Papertrey Framed Out #12 die and used it to die cut the window, then used it again several times to emboss the tumbling Polaroid frames.
Once I’d done this I masked off the inside of the card, and the square inside the Polaroid frame, and stamped it with a Studio Calico/Hero Arts stamp from one of the kits using Hero Arts Neon Pink ink (apologies, can’t remember the name right now – wish they put the names on the packaging!).
After that I just needed some finishing touches! I stamped the chevrons from Mama Elephant’s On Target set using Neon Pink and Neon Yellow inks. I don’t have the neon green ink yet, so I stamped the chevrons onto Eclipse Masking Tape, cut them out and used the negative to paint the green chevrons using Fluorescent Green acrylic paint.
I added the sentiment, from Becky Oehlers’ Spoon Me set using Versafine Onyx Black ink. Next I stamped and trimmed out the arrow from On Target and adhered it in place with some Pinflair Glue Gel. Finally I stamped the stars from Mama Elephant’s On Target and from Cosmic Stars, and that was it!
As this card is a window card I’m also entering it into the Moxie Fab Make A Card With A Window Challenge, so fun to be able to kill two birds with one stone!
Well I’ll be back tomorrow with another Valentine’s post. Thanks so much for stopping by!
This is so very cool!
