Clean & Simple Saturday: Storybook Moments Thinking of You

I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July and that the festivities will continue through the weekend! We’re celebrating today with a pool party and BBQ. The weather here is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a holiday weekend.

My Saturday card shares will be Clean and Simple cards. There’s a lot of ways to interrupt CAS. I’ve seen it explained as simply one color or one layer with minimal embellishment. My interpretation would be leaning into both a clean look and simple to create.

The clean part of this card is the color palette and the simple part is that it only took a few die cuts to highlight the fresh and pretty Designer Series Paper pattern. This pattern is my favorite from the Storybook Memories DSP and I was just itching to use it before the summer was over. I love the dainty strawberries against the Boho Blue background and think it pops nicely on an all white card.

The measurement are even simple…

Basic White card stock: cut at 11 x 4 1/4, scored at 5 1/2

Basic White card stock: cut at 5 1/4 x 4, corners rounded with a punch

DSP: cut at 3 3/8 x 1 7/8 to fit inside a die from the Textured Notes Dies. A cut out from the Storybook Moments DSP embellishes the top.

The sentiment, from the retired Honey Bee stamp set is also cut with a Textured Notes die.

The inside sentiment is from the new online exclusive, Perfectly Pears, stamp set.

That’s it…so easy! While I do love to add details to cards and sometimes have trouble keeping my cards on the simple side, I must admit that this was a very refreshing card to create. Hope you think so, too!

Again, I hope you are enjoying this long holiday weekend doing whatever makes you happy!

Take care,

Rosanne
