Typed Greetings with Laurie

Hello Greetery friends!  It’s Laurie Willison here!  The latest release had a little die set that just called my name.  Typed Greetings is such a fun set with so many possibilities!  I love fun fonts and this one is just adorable!  I grabbed 3 of the sentiments from the die set and made a fun little quick and simple card!

To get started I grabbed a rainbow of cardstock and made some ¼” strips.  Using an ATG gun, I laid down some adhesive and attached the strips, diagonally, in rainbow order.  This creates such a fun and fast background.  Next, I grabbed some black fun foam.  You can find this in sheets at any craft store.  I die cut all the sentiments out of the fun foam to create an awesome 3D look.  Using liquid glue, I attached them to the card front.  To finish off the card, I added the cutest little envelope from the Sent With Love Die Set.  I added a little red heart die, from the same set, for a little pop of color!

You know I love clean and simple with lots of white space but I always love to share a few tips for adding in more detail:

• Add in more background detail by filling up the background with a love sentiment in black in. This way the colors of the rainbow pop!
• Cover the whole background in rainbow cardstock strips for more color.
• Use a colored cardstock for the base to add in more color.  This gives a great pop of contrast to the white cardstock.

I am so glad you stopped by today and I hope you enjoyed today’s project!  If you are inspired to create a clean and simple card, please tag me when you share over on Instagram! I love to see all your creations!
