Let’s Shell-ebrate

Hi friends! Happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. Our weather is supposed to be nice in the mid to upper 50s so I plan to get out and walk a little and (of course) craft a little, too. ;) I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you that I created with papers and die cut pieces from our new Once Upon A Time: Ariel Collection. This is one of the best collections ever, and I have fond memories of my daughter watching The Little Mermaid movie. I believe she was about five when it came out. I created a twisted ribbon panel on the left side this card and I love the fun it adds. This was my first attempt and I definitely see more twisted ribbon in my future, lol!

I cut the card base and twisted ribbon panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Amazon Dark Teal cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil and a print in the Ariel 6×9 Collection Pack. Next I cut strips from a couple more coordinating prints and then fashioned the twisted ribbon panel.

I added the die cuts from the Ariel Die Cut Pieces as well as a sentiment (from the Ariel Collection Stamps) which I stamped in Catherine Pooler Daydream ink and cut with the coordinating Ariel Outline Dies. The finishing touch was adding a few dots from Imagine Crafts Gold irRESISTible Pico Embellisher.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with die cuts and a leftover patterned paper strip that I cut for the twisted ribbon panel. I added another sentiment that I stamped from the Ariel Collection Stamps and cut with the coordinating Outline Dies.
