Hello crafty friends! I’m so excited to be joining Simon Says Stamp in Day 2 of their Out Of This World Blog Hop! So many fun and amazing new products!
First, let’s take about this amazing FREE gift shown above. You can receive a set of Distress Crayons for FREE with the code GALAXY! Valid only util 6/25 at 11:59 pm ET or white supplies last.
I’m using the Mid Century Ethereal cover die for my card project.
I started by die cutting it multiple times from white cardstock and layering them together for dimension using liquid glue.

For the background, I decided to pull out one of my paper pads that I hoard. This one is from the Craft Consortium Ink Drops Candy paper pack. It is so hard using one of these paper pads because they are so gorgeous but I love the look behind this panel.

For the sentiment, I stamped Birthday Wishes from the Big Old Birthday stamp set and used the coordinating die to cut it out.

Quite simple of a card to put together but wow! Those designs with that background are just so cool!

This is beautiful. Before I started reading I thought oh I hope she shows the paper she created. I can’t wait to see it. Only to read that it was from a paper pack that NOW we all want. Lovely card.
Love this – so pretty!
Great card. Love how you used the cutout sheet instead of the cutouts.
Such a fun and cheery card! Love Craft Consortium paper!
Great design for many occasions, perfect for a masculine card too. Love the background paper. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome card!!! I’m getting this die in the mail today, and can’t wait to play!!!
Love it! Thanks for the idea of how to make a “simple” card stand out. I have that paper pack and never used it. Love the idea of using it as a background for the die cut.
Such a creative design!
Love the card!!
What a great way to use up some of my patterned paper!! I buy it then never use it, so thank you for a great idea!
Such a fun card!
I like the look of the background, too.

Awesome card!
I love how the patterned paper looks! Such an awesome and quick card to create!
It’s so hard to part with favorite papers, isn’t it?
Your card is beautiful. I love the cover die.
That die is such a fun way to showcase your patterned paper! Such a pretty card!!
What a beautiful way to highlight paper that you love. I will definitely try this.
Mindy – this is such a gorgeous card! I can understand why you save that beautiful paper, but it really turns a geometric-style Die into a ‘thing of beauty’ (though I think that the Die really is quite ‘cool’ on its own)!
Loving your colorful CAS card 🙂
I this is my favourite! No flowers! 🤭
Love this card, and love this cover plate
I never would have come up with this design. Love it!
Love this,. beautiful card and love the pattern paper!
That background is nice & I love the colors you’ve chosen for your birthday card.
Cool use of background paper behind a die-cut!
I too hoard paper pads and, coincidentally, you and I have been hoarding the same Craft Consortium Ink Drops Candy pack! While I don’t have that cover plate (YET), I’m definitely going through my stash to see if I can find something to use to make this amazing card!
Beautiful! LOL, I am hoarding that same paper!
A simple but great card! Thanks for sharing!
Such a fun card
