Pastel Sky Cards for Erin Lee Creative

Hello lovelies. I have some more cards to share featuring the latest Erin Lee Creative summer release, and I am absolutely loving these dies! I used 3 different die sets (with some glossy cardstock) to create these gorgeous pastel sky cards. Something about these designs gives me a cartoonish feel, which I love. What do you think? Cartoon vibes? Scroll down for details You'll find my clickable shopping/supply list at the end of this post.

These cards were so fun to make!  I used the new Wave Cover Plate and my Platinum 6 to create the die cuts. It was simply a matter of taking several different colors of cardstock, mixing and matching the different die cuts, and using two of the frame negatives - pink and blue.

I started by swiping adhesive all over an A2 white card panel, then laying down the first negative frame, setting aside the die cut pieces. You can also use adhesive sheets instead, to adhere the frame and die cuts.

I also trimmed the edges of my die cut card panel, once all the colors were adhered and mounted it to an A2 white card.  The card was trimmed just a tad smaller than A2 size, to match my colorful panel.

The glossy cardstock that I'm using is an A2 paper pad from Scrapbookcom. It's been sitting in my stash for a few months, and I thought the colors would be perfect for what I was going for.

My sentiment is from the new Proud Of You die set. It includes an outline die, however, I opted not to use it as I wanted to place my words on the clouds.

I also decided to create some black die cuts as a staggered backing to my sentiment. I feel like it pops a little more and also lends itself more to the cartoon vibes that I'm feeling.

Since I staggered my sentiment, I decided to also stagger some cloud die cuts. Again, more cartoon vibes, haha! Am I the only one feeling it? I need to hear from some of you!

 

I wanted both cards to stand on their own a little bit, so for my card further up, I ended up offsetting some of the clouds on the side, trimming off the edge. For the card above, I kept my clouds pretty much centered, as the focal point. Lastly, I glued on some clear sequins for more interest and added sparkle.

I hope this inspires to you to go do some shopping, grab these products, and make all the pretty things! It's possible that once they're gone, they won't be re-stocked, as Erin often does small limited releases.
