Sneak Peek: Simple Sentiments + Simple Sayings: Brave

Hi Friends! This is Angelica and today I am sharing a look at the new sentiment set, Simple Sentiments, from the upcoming June 18th release.

This stamp set has many occasions sentiments in it: Thank you, Birthday, Anniversaries, Sympathy, etc. I love pairing heat-embossed sentiments with word die cuts, and that’s what I did for today’s cards. I used Hello Friend Script Die for my first card’s die-cut word, and a matching sentiment from the new stamp set. The background is strips of colored card stock that I die cut, using the new Simple Strips dies (releasing June 18th). I glued the strips in random order onto a small card stock panel, and trimmed the edges when I was done. To keep the cards simple, I added dry-embossed backgrounds.

I used the new Medium Polka Dots stencil (releasing June 18th) and my die-cut machine to dry-emboss the card background. I love doing this for my clean and simple cards. The texture is fun, and doesn’t take away from the bright stripes.

My second card is made the same way, this time using the Thank You Script Die, and matching sentiment.

I die-cut the words three times, and stacked and glued them together. I picked black card stock to heat-emboss the sentiments on. I love the balance black brings to these bright stripes.

The Simple Sentiments stamp set is definitely a well-rounded stamp set to have in your collection.

I hope I have helped with ideas on ways to use it. Come back tomorrow for another sneak peek!
