I love a good twist. When I received The Divorce Upside stamp set* from Simon Says Stamp as part of the new Shine On release, I thought I’d give one of the sentiments a twist.
I took the “hello, freedom” stamp and turned it into a 4th of July card. I used a set of nested star dies to cut stars from red patterned paper from my stash, red metallic paper and white pearlescent paper from Memory Box. I took a piece of blue and white striped paper from my stash and cut it to about 4” x 3”. I cut it diagonally with my paper trimmer and spread the 2 pieces apart and adhered them to a piece of white cardstock that was approximately 4” x 5.25”. I stamped the sentiment diagonally in black Versafine in the white space between the 2 pieces of striped paper, making sure it was parallel to the paper edges.
To make this panel a real focal point, I die cut it with one of the dies from the Spellbinders Nested Postage Labels and Tag die set. This made it a little smaller and gave it that nice stitched edge I am so fond of. Next, I adhered this to a white A2 card front. Finally, I adhered the stars all over with glue and foam adhesive. It was a pretty simple card to make.
