Hello, fellow cardstock lovers! Natalie here, and I’m excited to share a super cute but simple “I miss you card” with you today. This design came together quickly, but the color combination really makes it shine. I was inspired by a post I came across on Instagram. I could not wait to try it. The bold red paired with fresh aqua? Absolute chef’s kiss.
This card is proof that you don’t need a lot of layers or complicated techniques to make something eye-catching. Sometimes, the right colors and a few thoughtful details are all it takes.
Let’s start by taking a closer look at my card.
I used some of my cute dies and stamps from my stash along with the CutCardstock cardstock.
Cardstock
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White
Directions
- Cut Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock to 4¼” × 11″. Score at the 5½” mark and fold to create a top-folding card base.
- Die cut a postage stamp–shaped panel from Red Pepper cardstock, measuring approximately 4″ × 4¾”.
- Adhere the Red Pepper panel to the Caribbean Blue cardstock. Trim the blue layer so that only a narrow border remains visible.
- Randomly stamp the Red Pepper postage stamp panel using red ink, as desired.
- Die cut a heart shape from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock.
- Using a stamping tool, stamp the “P.S. I miss you” sentiment, then die cut the sentiment pieces.
- Adhere the white heart to the stamped Red Pepper panel at a slight angle using foam tape.
- Attach the sentiment pieces with foam tape as shown. Finish with a few embellishments of your choice to complete the card.
