Snuggles and Smooches | Stamp Day Designs

Today’s project was CASEd from this card by Joy Taylor at Simple by Design. I really loved her butterflies sitting on top of the scribble, and I immediately thought of the Snuggles and Smooches stamp set, released last December. I’ve also been trying to find ways to incorporate those beautiful butterfly die cuts, but I wanted to do it in a not-so-obvious way. So many contrasts in this card … I just love the way it turned out!

I started with a Basic Black A2 card base (you could also use Very Vanilla). On the card front, I adhered a piece of Typeset DSP flush to the bottom edge. Then I cut a piece of Very Vanilla and created the curved bottom edge with my largest oval die set on an angle. I did this by tucking the piece of card stock through the center of the oval so the top half sits on top of the die, then only ran the bottom half into my Big Shot. Once that was done, I stamped the scribble and sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used sticky strip to adhere the butterfly and button. To attach the Very Vanilla panel, I used Snail at the top, and dimensionals along the bottom edge.

See ya next time … ink, ink, smudge, smudge!
