Happy Friday, everybody! Has Spring ‘sprung’ where you are? It’s working on it here and I’ll be happy to finally see it! I’m stoked to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project featuring the new KIS Cuts Stitched Pennants Dies along with papers and die cut pieces from our Simply Spring collection and a few other items on the website. I absolutely love shaped cards and I really like how this birthday card turned out.

Using a Stitched Pennants die, I cut the card base from Solar White cardstock along with a solid layering panel from the Back To Basics Black & White 12×12 Collection Pack and a couple coordinating prints in the Simply Spring 12×12 Collection Pack. I tore the edge of the floral paper for a little interest and then fashioned a floral cluster from the Simply Spring Die Cut Pieces, popping the small one in the center up on a foam square.

I added a twine bow (using Lawn Fawn White Hemp Twine) and some Back To Basics Black Enamel Dots. The final step was adding a stamped and fussy cut sentiment from the Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set, stamped in Catherine Pooler Polished ink.

I cut the inside panels using the same larger Stitched Pennants die and tore the black layer to match the front. I added a couple more florals from the Simply Spring Die Cut Pieces along with another stamped and fussy cut sentiment from the Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set.
