Double the Fun – Mid Century Style

Simon Says Stamp | Happy Camper Release
08/09/2025

Hi there!

You know that feeling when a die does more than just die-cut? Yep, that’s the kind of joy I’m bringing to the blog today! This card, created with products from the Simon Says Stamp “Happy Camper” release, celebrates fall colors, crisp designs, and two techniques using one fabulous plate.

The Mid Century Elemental Plate was the star of this show — I used it once for colorful die cuts and again for an embossed background. A little retro, a little modern, and a whole lot of fun!

🍁 Design Highlights 🍁
🧡 Used the die traditionally to cut out bold geometric shapes
💛 Ran the die through with rubber pads for a clean embossed panel
🤍 Fall colors pop on a bright white card base
🤎 Sentiment strip keeps things sleek and simple
💚 The tone-on-tone effect adds modern texture without extra layers

Hope this inspires you to stretch your supplies in fun new ways! 😊

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
