Hello and welcome, SCT friends! It’s Dilay here today sharing two cards showcasing the lovely and fabulous February 2023 SCT Sampler! If you’re familiar with the monthly SCT samplers, you already know how wonderful these sample-sized packages are, and this month is no exception! Take a look:

This month’s Sampler includes products from our friends at Bella Blvd and American Crafts, as well as SCT exclusives—a stamp set and a metal word and shadow die! The cards I am sharing today are easy to recreate and will be sure to make any friend smile! 

Supplies | SCT Sampler, Concord & 9th cardstock, Close To My Heart dies, Hero Arts Ultra Fine white embossing powder, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D foam squares, E-Z Runner Grand adhesive runner

For the first card, I created a landscape design by combining the SCT exclusive ‘Beautiful’ die with a few of the 6 x 6-inch patterned paper sheets. I began by trimming the floral patterned paper to a 5” x 5.25” piece and adhering it to a top-folding, A2-sized card base. I cut two more pieces of patterned paper into smaller rectangles, stacked them, then adhered them to the floral card base. Next, I cut two hearts using nesting heart dies from my stash, one stitched frame and one solid, and adhered those over top. 

I die-cut ‘Beautiful’ in pink cardstock and the shadow in white then adhered them with thin foam tape before adding a few ephemera pieces from the Sampler. To finish, I stamped ‘friend’ from the exclusive SCT stamp set onto a piece of teal cardstock and adhered it under the ‘Beautiful’ die cut.

For my second card, I combined patterned paper with coordinating solid cardstock to create a backdrop for the layered die-cut hearts. For the sentiment, I die-cut ‘Beautiful’ in white card stock and the shadow in teal then adhered it over the top of the hearts.

I used the same basic nesting heart dies to create smaller hearts to frame the sentiment and repeated the same steps as the first card for the ephemera and sub-sentiment to finish. 

There is so much goodness included in the February SCT Sampler, and I hope these cards have inspired you to create using your own! Thank you for joining me today!
