SugarPea Designs Sweet 2 Repeat Blog Hop



Hi peeps! Happy Friday and welcome to SugarPea Designs Sweet2Repeat Blog Hop! I hope by now many of you have our cute Summer Release in your hot little hands. The SugarPea design team has created fabulous projects to inspire you with even MORE creative possibilities featuring our newest and hottest products!

Let's get on with it, shall we? For this hop, I played with Geo Floral CoverPlate SugarCut and made a couple colorful cards.





One card has cool tone and one has warm tone. To start I used various distress & distress oxide inks to color the panels. Once that done, ran the panel & the coverplate through the dies machine & adhere the panels to the card base.




Because of the pattern and the colors, I feel like I don't need to add anything else. I am a CAS girl at heart, so I like to keep things minimal. Just add sentiment. The sentiment is from the Spring release Topiary Garden set. I just love the font combo on these sentiments.




I framed the sentiment so it doesn't just disappear on the card. Again, I simply colored a piece of cardstock in the color that match the background and use that as my frame. I actually almost  tempted to add some liquid enamel to the background, but then I don't want to end up messing the card. Sometime you just have to know when to stop, right? ;)

Awesome cards! Such fun color combinations and clean layouts that let the background shine.

Vera what a great idea, ink up a piece of card stock in different coloured stripes horizontally and then cut out a die using this card stock so that you get a rainbow effect on this cut out die. I must try this! This is definitely a TOP TIP Vera. Also I like to have a one layered or no more than two layered card because a lot of my cards are sent overseas and the cost of a heavy card is quite expensive and as you say it is better CAS than over the top! :O)
