Cards mixing the Sincere Sentiments Collections | Elle's Studio

Hello! I am back today happy to give you a break from all the Holiday prep. I am sharing two new greeting cards created by mixing several Sincere Sentiments stamps and metal dies from Elle's Studio. I really like how they turned out!

Supplies: Sincere Sentiments Congrats Stamp, Sincere Sentiments Wonderful You Stamp, Sincere Sentiments Best of Friends Stamp, Sincere Sentiments Best of Friends Add-on Stamp, Sincere Sentiments Wonderful You Metal Die, Sincere Sentiments Best of Friends Metal Die, Sincere Sentiments Best of Friends Add-on Metal Die, Labels, Ledgers, and Tabs Die Cuts, Warm Solids 6 x 8.5 inch Paper Stack, Magical Memories 6 x 8.5 inch Paper Stack

My first card started with a negative cut of the word You backed by a contrasting black paper from the Magical Memories stack. I completed the sentiment with stamps from the Best of Friends and the Wonderful You stamp sets.

I stamped and die-cut three large flowers with the Best of Friends Add-on Metal Die to match the striped paper in the background.

I kept using the same paper stack for this second card and played more with the idea of matching pastels  with black and white sentiments.

I paired the cursive Hello stamp from the Best of Friends set with a typewritten phrase from the Congrats stamp, embossed on black cardstock. 

I die-cut the flowers from plain cardstock with the Best of Friends Add-on Metal Die and I really like the clean look.

My ideas for you are:

- mix and match fonts/stamp sets when creating your card sentiments 

- make your sentiment pop by using contrast

- create depth with foam dots (a must on all my cards)

- use metal dies on their own (without their matching stamps) for more options!

Thank you for stopping by today!
