Clean and Simple All-Die Cuts Card!
by Sphoorti
Hello Poppy Peeps!
It's Sphoorti, and I have a very clean and very simple card for you today - all made with just die cuts, and no stamping! And all you need is one set of dies, i.e. the 2464 Marzipan Alphabet craft die!
Although very clean and simple and easy to make, this card requires a lot of die cutting. It's not for the faint of heart. But not to worry at all - just grab a comfortable chair, play an old sitcom you like (I personally opted for The Big Bang Theory), and die-cut away! It'll go by very fast!
I ran the 2464 Marzipan Alphabet craft die multiple times through my Big Shot. All my alphabets were connected, so I ran them through to save time for the next time I might need some alphabets. I stacked a few letters together (just random ones, but with at least two glued together for extra dimension). I stacked the letters H and I about five times for super dimension. I used Candied Apple and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks and colored the H and I.
At first I planned to scatter the letters all over the card panel (with no rhyme or reason) around the letters H and I.
But I'm a control freak and not too big a fan of chaos. I used some washi tape and attached the letters H and I at an angle at the bottom of the card panel. Then I glued the remaining letters in front of, behind, above, and below. Nicely and evenly distributed and arranged and ended up with this.
I felt like something was missing, so I used some glossy accents for the H and the I. I still felt like something was missing, so I scattered some heart stickers and felt much better!
Thoughts? Questions? Epiphanies? Would you want to remake this card? Would you do anything differently? Let us know in the comments below! Thank you for visiting! Stay tuned for another post using the same die set and more!
Love,

Hi Sphoorti, I love this !! I agree, the composition you chose is much better than using letters all over the card, a CAS and a very elegant card, I adore the addition of the glossy accents and the little hearts, they complete this card beautifully.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
I really like this idea! So cute, plus easy to make while watching tv with my husband. I agree that it needed the finishing touch of the hearts. Fun project!
