Start with one piece of cardstock and swipe your ink pads across in rainbow order. Die cut the Beautiful Word Die and outline from this piece of cardstock to create these cards.

Add a few hearts, or a lot of hearts!

Take the rest of your Direct-to-Paper Technique piece and trim off 1/4″ strips. Stagger them on your card to achieve this fun look.

Cut five strips of 3/4 x 5-1/2″ pieces of cardstock, use the Direct-to-Paper Technique to color them and adhere to your card base.

The Smile, Beautiful Stamp set was designed to pair along with our Beautiful Word Die. With words about kindness, happiness and beauty both inside and out, this mix and match sentiments create a number of options for uplifting and encouraging phrases. The set can be used alone or also pairs well with our Smile Word Die.

This hand-lettered word die is simply beautiful. The Beautiful Word Die has two layers, one background and one ornate word. They can be used together or the top layer can stand alone. This large word die is a statement piece for your card and was designed to work along with the Smile, Beautiful Sentiment Stamp Set.
