Last week I pulled out one of the cute cards from the By Your Side Kit and took one of the designs as an inspiration for a template video. It’s fun to take one simple idea, and then use it with different images, different colors, jazz it up, and basically let it evolve. For these samples, I’ve used the Thoughtful Journey Suite:
I liked the idea of using the “negative” image from the Everyday Details circle die and creating a little frame. The Thoughtful Journey Papers work out quite well for a bit of a scene both inside and outside the circle frame.
For this version, I’ve used Misty Moonlight and Boho Blue, paired with the new Textured Metallic paper for a little bit of a stripe.
For the next variation, I used a different print from the Thoughtful Journey papers, and this time accented with Pretty Peacock and Pool Party. I also used different dies from the Thoughtful Wishes die set, just for something slightly different.
For the third variation, I used the Stylish Shapes dies, which has a stitching detail rather than holes. For this version, my live participants on my Facebook Live wanted to try the card out using the same print for all three sections of the background, rather than two strips of contrast, as the previous two samples.
I like both ways.
I love how either variations works; one could make this card idea using all the prints and all the dies included in the beautiful Thoughtful Journey suite of products.
